Lovely day. A good big boat. Got to see the bays up close. Comfortable seating inside and out. Good value. Didn’t get much commentary on the history of the area/bays which I was expecting.

Spectacular scenery, and they will pick you up or drop you off at any wharf on their route. Large comfortable and stable boats.

I would certainly recommend this excursion.

Easy to find and very informative.

Great way to see Queen Charlotte Sound. Far more up close and personal than just observing from the high deck of a cruise ship. Really interesting to see the crew working on deliveries and also talking to locals about the way of life they have there. Captain provided a lot of interesting facts about the local surrounds and all the crew were helpful and courteous. Well worth doing, but far better if it can be arranged on a bright and sunny day - probably a bit miserable if it were raining!this trip was one of the best boat trips that we have done made better by the boat operater he was great at showing us the places that we used to visit in the 1960s and 70s he was brilliant and would recomend this trip with this operator to any of our friends or neighbours thanks once again gord...
