"Thank-you for providing one of the most wonderful ten days of my life … Never have I seen such attention and accommodation to the customer's needs as I did on the Columbia III."

Sea Kayak Tours

We offer sea kayak tours: with fast and stable double kayaks, we explore coastal British Columbia rarely visited by other paddlers. Accompanied by qualified naturalist guides, we kayak through glacial-fed waters amongst lushly forested islands dotted with ancient First Nations village sites while observing the numerous species of local marine and terrestrial wildlife including orca killer whales, dolphins, harbour seals, black bears, grizzly bears and bald eagles. After each event filled day, we return to the warmth and security of the Columbia III and begin an evening of gourmet food, conversation, laughter and relaxation.

"Paddling softly through some of the hundreds of islands in the Broughton Archipelago must be one of the most magical kayaking experiences available, especially when eagles, sea lions, and whales join in the fun. Add to this the comforts and first class hospitality of the beautifully outfitted Columbia III and it's little wonder that I've rated the Mothership Adventure as one of the best"
- Chris McBeath, author, Frommers 2007 Guide to Vancouver Island, Gulf Islands and San Juan Islands.

Our kayak tours use the Columbia III as our luxurious traveling home. Our itinerary includes stunning Vancouver Island, British Columbia destinations: Desolation Sound, the Broughton Archipelago and Johnstone Strait, and the Great Bear Rainforest.

Eco Tours

We also offer exceptional eco tours for everyone curious to learn about and explore this diverse and fascinating coast. Once again we are including our extremely popular coastal history adventure, First Nations cultural cruise, an artist's workshop tour with Alison Watt, an artist painting tour with Robert Genn, and our new photography tour. The dramas of the early settlers are retold, and the rich First Nation's history comes alive for us as we learn from our accomplished tour leaders, or we will study new camera and art techniques in the focused atmosphere of a very small group with well known instructors. Our sturdy skiff transports us on shore outings to view ancient totem poles, teaming tidal pools and verdant rainforests. Best of all, we travel the coast in total comfort aboard the historic Columbia III who has faithfully plied these waters for over 50 years. Each night we'll find a new quiet anchorage or moor to a quaint coastal community dock, and always there's the great food and companionship that travelling with a small group fosters.

Be sure to read these press articles that feature our kayak and cruising tours.

"Everyone says there is no such thing as perfect. I have to disagree. My experience with you was perfect."
