Here’s some ideas to get you started:

  • Teakerne Arm: A deep inlet with a stunning waterfall where you can swim in the clear waters of Cassel Lake.
  • Mitlenatch Island: A semi-arid island and birdwatcher’s paradise. This nature reserve is an important nesting colony for thousands of Glaucous-winged Gulls, Pelagic Cormorants, Pigeon Guillemots, Black Oystercatchers, and many others.
  • Marina Island: Swim at Shark Spit, which is only accessible by boat, or stroll the shores of the sandy beaches.
  • Rapids and Surge Narrows: Located between Reid Island and Quadra Island, safely view one of the fastest-flowing tidal streams in the world!
  • Prawn Pulling: We’ll help you set and pull prawn traps so you can go home with some of BC’s famous spot prawns.
  • Cook Your Catch: Hungry and can’t wait to go home and cook up your prawns? We’ll cook ’em for you right on the boat. We can bring fresh, local clams, oysters, and mussels so you can experience a 5-start West Coast meal right on the water.
