2009 Canada Season Update


We sold out all our God's Pocket lodge-based tours this summer, and nearly all of our Johnstone Strait orca watching tours near the world's only orca preserve Robson Bight. Our guests were richly rewarded with an unusually clear sunny summer and many more humpback whales and orcas than in years past. Thanks to our wonderful guests and staff who are making this our most fun summer ever!

We still have room on two of our peak tours this summer: Aug 23-28 and Aug 24-29, 2009 - book in full by Aug 12 and receive a free book on orcas written by orca researcher Alexandra Morton!

Check out photographer Gary Luhm's images fresh from his recent God's Pocket trip at: http://www.garyluhm.net/lightroomwebstuff/pocket/index.html

Book God's Pocket 2010 trips by Oct 1, 2009 for discount!

Baja Season 2009-2010
Quick Adventures -

Oct 25-30, Nov 8-13 and Nov 13-18 are just $995 - all inclusive, including motorboat support, 2 nights hotel, 4 days of sea kayaking, snorkeling and hiking, and 3 nights camping - all gear and taxes included.

Early Bird Booking Incentives - Book by Sept 1, 2009 to receive early bird rates - our Baja rates will rise Sept 1.

As your vacation provider, we work hard to put as many of your dollars into your actual trip as we possibly can. We have kept our rates from rising more than 1-5% a year, while absorbing 5-20% increases of costs of operating permits in the national and provincial parks, labor, gas, supplies, kayaks and gear, insurance, Baja hotels, transportation and food. However, to continue to provide our standard of top quality guides, equipment and operations that you have come to know and trust, we have concluded that we must raise our rates. Thus we invite you to take advantage of our early bird offerings!

Canada Season 2010 - Early Bird Incentives


Book any BC Canada tour by Oct 1, 2009 to receive current rates, which have not risen since 2006

NEW TRIP - Join Nancy & Terry in Chile Dec 2009 -

We have discovered a wonderful itinerary called "Classic Chile" which explores three main scenic areas of Chile - San Pedro de Atacama, Puerto Varas -Puerto Natales, Torres del Paine - approximately $3900 including air from Los Angeles or Miami if booked in August 2009, as we are holding spaces for a group of 12 - spaces will fill fast. Add a whale watching sea kayaking extension to Argentina's Peninsula Valdes to view right whales in this peak whale season for another approximately $700 plus local air.
Call us for details.
