Embark on a serene voyage across the Salish Sea, observing marine life and awe-inspiring scenery as the rich tapestry of the coast mountain range is illuminated by the stunning sunset lighting. Join us on a sunset boat tour lasting between 2.5 and 3.5 hours, welcoming adventurers of all ages to marvel at the sea and sky in a heartwarming and enriching experience.
Our journey commences with a leisurely cruise through waters that have been ancestral routes for the Homalco people for generations. Keep a lookout as we glide over these living waters for the breathtaking sight of whales, seals or birds under the evening sun.
As the sun starts its majestic descent, painting the sky and mountains with shades of orange, pink, and purple, we will be in the prime location in the Northern Strait of Georgia to witness this daily spectacle. This moment, shared with fellow explorers and the essence of the Homalco ancestors, transcends a mere sunset; it becomes a vibrant reminder of the beauty that envelops us and the narratives that unite us to this place and each other. Brimming with joy and uplifted spirits, we will conclude our journey under the emerging evening stars, carrying cherished memories and a deeper appreciation of the Homalco culture, language, and the diverse ecosystem we are privileged to coexist with. Join us for an unforgettable escapade where adventure intertwines with heritage, and the splendour of the natural world harmonizes with the captivating tapestry of human history.
