Cruising through our weekend...
like this gorgeous Orca Whale photographed by @kwexphoto earlier this year while onboard with us.

These whales are truly one of nature's most magnificent creations. Magical creatures.

How gorgeous is this bear? Calmly & regally posed against the lush green of the forest.

Such a beautiful shot captured by photographer @kwexphoto this summer while on assignment with us.

Wow!

When out on our expeditions we sometimes have encounters like this - up close & personal. The whales swim up near to the boat (sometimes very close!) & they give us amazing & unforgettable experiences like this. Awesome creatures.

Getting close to the "tail end" of the week.

Sometimes the whales just give us glimpses - of their heads, or fins - or their magnificent tails - like this one.

It's always a thrill!
& even better when we capture a shot like this one from @kwexphoto

#TBT to 2018

The Great Bear Rainforest where we had the opportunity to observe (from a safe distance) this beautiful family of bears.

They weren't bothered by us at all as we watched them munching away.

Always such a joy & privilege to view the magical wildlife in our part of the world.

Heads up - it's almost the weekend!

Using our trusty Canon we were able to capture these beauties one cool August morning a couple years ago.

Getting a glimpse of any Orca & its pod is always an exciting & memorable experience.

Killer whales can be individually recognized by the black and white colouration, or pigmentation, in its saddle patch, as well as physical characteristics such as nicks, scars, and the shape of the dorsal fin.*

PYF Chef @nfa.barter takes our guests' catch of the day & creates delicious meals over an open fire on the shore. A great "al fresco" dining experience.

Birds of a feather...

We are so fortunate to encounter a wide range of wildlife on our expeditions. From whales to bears to sea lions & so much more - like the majestic Bald Eagle pictured here.

*Did you know that most of Canada's bald eagle population is found along the Pacific coast of British Columbia? & they live 20-30 years in the wild.

This time last year... We were in the Great Bear

This time last year...

We were in the Great Bear Rainforest & were fortunate to share some time with this magnificent Spirit Bear.

Did you know it has other names?

-Kermode Bear, named after Francis Kermodei, former director of the Royal B.C. Museum.
-White Bear or Ghost Bear is often used.
-Moksgm’ol by local First Nations.
-Ursus americanus kermodei by Scientists.

It's a rare & special species that abides only in this part of the world, & is actually a Black Bear!

It's not an albino & studies are ongoing into this rare genetic trait.

Whatever the reason for the colour we are excited & grateful when we have the opportunity to view one.

There's more than one way to navigate the water on a journey with us.

For this guest adventure, in 2018, we took the kayaks to enjoy the wilderness & view some wildlife in the Great Bear Rainforest. A magical way to quietly glide along & take in the surroundings.

We offer a variety of vessels for our guests to use for fun & exploration, including single & double kayaks, paddleboards, aluminum tenders + more.

Foggy fall days

This time of year the daylight is certainly shortened & we're adjusting to cooler mornings & evenings.

But it's a beautiful season in our part of BC & we love watching the mist & the fog swirl around the forests as we sail by.

Sometimes it's just the simple things that bring you joy.

Smells like Monday...& Fall!

About this time last year we were out on the water & were happy to see this group of gorgeous & gregarious Steller Sea Lions. They are always a guest favourite.

Fun facts about them:
- The species is named for the naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller, who first described them in 1741.

- They are the largest of the eared seals.

Do your know the story of our vessel?

Built in 1943 as a U.S. military vessel, the Pacific Yellowfin traversed the globe, eluded detection, & stored her mysteries.

After accommodating millionaires, mischief-makers & rapscallions, she makes an inspiring & wonderfully adventure-worthy vessel to enjoy your own expedition from.
