This unique coastal adventures is the real way to see the Inside Passage. Aboard our small ships, we can take you to remote destinations and get up close with ancient native culture, wildlife and spectacular coastal scenery.
The central coast region of British Columbia’s scenic and intricate shoreline has a long history.
Stretching from Vancouver Island north along the mainland coast, it forms a significant section of the famous ‘Inside Passage’ route to Alaska – a term that started with the gold rush of the 1800’s. Many of the gold seekers stayed on the coast, attracted by the enormous trees and waters full of salmon. Native peoples have lived along this coast for at least 10,000 years, and built a renowned culture based upon these same fish and trees. Now the native peoples are centered in a few, small coastal villages with names like Alert Bay, Bella Bella, Klemtu and Hartley Bay.
