This Snorkeling & Kayaking adventure in the Howe Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve offers a unique experience showcasing the natural beauty and biodiversity of the BC coastal region. Howe Sound is home to a diverse array of marine wildlife, including seals, sea lions, porpoises, whales and various seabird species. This adventure provides opportunities for guests to get up-close and personal with these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat without disturbing them. Guests can also stay on the boat or hop on a kayak if they choose not to splash in the water. Enjoy complimentary hot drinks and snacks onboard. Our boat is covered so it provides ideal protection from the elements, with large openings ideal for viewing and photography and a marine toilet.
Sightseeing Only: This option is for people who wish not to participate in any in-water activity and choose to stay on the boat
This tour navigates through breathtaking scenery including rugged coastlines, lush forests, and towering mountains. Guests can admire panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and capture stunning photo opportunities. Seals are known for their friendly interactions with humans in the water, they are often curious and may approach snorkelers to investigate them. If you choose not to splash in the water you can take the Kayaks that we have on board and soak up all the magnificent views and wildlife surrounding us. We understand that everyone’s comfort level is different. That’s why, during the summer season (May to September), we offer kayaking as a great alternative or complement to snorkeling. During the fall (October–November) and spring (March–April) seasons, we offer kayaking only, as the water temperatures are cooler and less suitable for snorkeling.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
Please arrive 30 mins prior to departure time. The boat will be waiting for you at the government dock below the SAR building with the red roof.
