Vancouver is home to some of the world's most spectacular scenery so it's no wonder BC's south coast is among the world's most popular cruising destinations.

west coast sunset OVERNIGHT CRUISES: A WEEKEND AWAY OR THREE TO SEVEN DAYS

Two, three, and four day and week-long coastal adventures can enable you to visit some really spectacular West Coast places a little further out of Vancouver.

PRINCESS LOUISA INLET with waterfalls cascading hundreds of feet over the polished granite cliffs that seem to plunge into the sea, this inlet is a favourite.  Calm waters in which to swim or kayak, endless trails for walking or hiking and Chatterbox falls at the head of this inlet, all make it a popular cruising destination. 

The GULF ISLANDS with endless possibilities for enjoying some of the finest cruising on the south coast. BC's unique Gulf Islands offer many opportunities including beach combing, swimming, beautiful walks, bicycle riding, shopping at local artists' galleries, wine or beer tasting, and dining out.  When you prefer to dine on board, your chef will prepare gourmet dishes including some of BC's finest wines with dinners.

DESOLATION SOUND, one of the locals most popular cruising destinations on Canada's West Coast provides ample opportunity to take in the scenic splendours while relaxing and being pampered by your Captain and chef.  Desolation Sound offers Easy walks, longer hikes, swimming in a fresh water lake or in the ocean, kayaking to explore the tidal pools, marshes or to just enjoy the serenity, fishing for crab for dinner or prawns or even a fresh salmon, can all be enjoyed in this more remote destination.  Just want to read your book on deck in the sunshine while your chef is creating your next culinary delight?  It's all up to you.
