of the beautiful, lush, Discovery Archipelago and the world

Air
& Sea Adventure Tour
Our unique Air & Sea Adventure tour combines boating
and an exciting marine eco-tours tour with a float plane
air tour that introduces you to this gem of British Columbia
tourism. You'll start the day with an oceanic eco-tours
tour in our comfortable Catamaran launch. As we explore
the islands along the route you may see whales, dolphins,
sea lions, seals, eagles, and black bears.

west coast lunch by the ocean you'll be picked up by one
of our fleet of float planes. Your coastal adventure/eco-tours
tour winds up with an exciting flightseeing air tour of
the area as we return home to Campbell River by Beechcraft
seaplane.
Marine Tours
If boating is your cup of tea you can book one of our Marine
Tours to Desolation Sound or the Discovery
Islands. Bring your binoculars and your camera, the folks
at home won't believe what you've seen, you'll need the
proof! These marine archipelagos are a birders paradise
so come prepared to add a variety of marine and west coast
birds to your birding list
West
Coast Safari
Think safari means lions? Think again! In Campbell River
we go on safari with the salmon. You won't believe it until
you see it, you and your family floating above (or swimming
in the river with) thousands of Pacific salmon on their
way to spawn.
This unique safari begins with Destiny River
Adventures salmon safari down the river followed by a Beechcraft
float plane trip over the Discovery Islands to Stuart Island
for a lunch of savory west coast cuisine by the ocean. You'll
finish up this adventure packed day with a leisurely marine
eco-tours tour return trip to Campbell River on our safe
and comfortable 32 foot Catamaran launch. On any given day
you can see orcas, sea lions, dolphins, porpoise and marine
birds as we cruise along the local waters. What a way to
end a perfect day. Please note that the salmon migration
is a late summer, early fall event and along with all wildlife
viewing cannot be guaranteed for a specific trip.

experienced pilots and see what this beautiful country is
