Escape the city and discover one of B.C.s best-kept secrets—a spectacular fjord adventure just minutes from Vancouver. Perfect for couples, friends, and families, you also have the option of reserving the entire boat for a private tour. Departing from Cates Park near Deep Cove in N. Vancouver, this guided boat tour explores the breathtaking wilderness of Indian Arm. Cruise past granite cliffs, hidden waterfalls, historic landmarks, and untouched West Coast scenery that feels worlds away. You’ll often spot seals, bald eagles, otters, and occasionally even orcas while hearing fascinating stories, history, and legends. Ending at our private 3.5-acre off-grid waterfront retreat, (featured on Youtube “Family of Five Living Off-Grid”, viewed by over 4.2 million people). Relax on a sandy beach lined with palm trees, unwind at the tiki bar, take in the mountain and ocean views from our covered decks, or swim in our sheltered sandy-bottom swimming area—a favorite with children and families.
