2009 Canada Season Update

Money shot of OrcaWe 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!

Baja Season 2009-2010
Quick Adventures -

Scenic CoveOct 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!
