Explore the Great Bear Rainforest in its most prime time of year. This is a once in a life time expedition to one of the ecologically diverse regions on the planet.

$4,275.00 CDN

Set in the heart of British Columbia's wild central coast, the Great Bear Rainforest and the Goose Islands offer some of the most stunning sea kayaking in the world.

Departing from the remote First Nations village of Bella Bella, we begin our week of exploring the most pristine wilderness on the B.C. coast.

Kayaking at it's best:
The diversity of landscapes, abundance of wildlife, and unlimited paddling routes makes the Great Bear Rainforest a truly superb sea kayakers destination.

"What can I say that hasn't been said already, we talk about it so much our family is begging us to stop"

Wayne Quinn and Lorna Archer-Quinn, Canada

Steep sided glacial carved fjords cut through the Coast Mountains on their way to the open ocean. Where the rain and snow fed rivers flow into these inlets, numerous species of wildlife congregate to feast upon the spawning pacific salmon who have returned to their place of birth after their lives as ocean dwellers. As we paddle in the river estuaries beside lush grassy meadows we often observe black bears fishing for salmon, eagles perched in the cedars, and if we are lucky, wolves loping along the beach.

Towards the open Pacific the mountains give way to a maze of rocky islets dotted with exquisite white sandy beaches. Brightly coloured intertidal life cling to the surf swept rocks while sea otters, seals and river otters play in the kelp beds and sea birds swoop overhead.

Taking advantage of our kayaks silent travel and shallow draft we explore tiny coves and narrow passageways, while knowing that the warmth and security of the Columbia III are close at hand.

We have all concluded that this was the best vacation we have ever been on.

Thanks again,
John Wagner, Linda, Chad, Mindy, Laura, and Rich

Mothership comfort:
With it's vast distances, rugged terrain, and less predictable weather, the central coast is where the mothership concept truly shines. The options are varied depending on the weather and the desires of the guests. If the weather is fine a picnic lunch on a sandy beach or a grassy estuary is a lovely choice after a mornings paddle. Or, if the weather turns foul there is always the cosiness aboard the Columbia III.

Each day builds on the last as a true understanding and appreciation for the significance of this untouched wilderness evolves.

The Great Bear Rainforest is a place you will never forget........ Instead you will long for more.
