Whether you seek an exciting fishing or diving adventure, a relaxing sightseeing cruise, or a guided bird watching tour, Gulf Islands Explorers in Chemainus is your destination.

Want to take in a little fishing? Imagine your excitement when you hook a fighting Coho or a Chinook salmon. Whatever your age, you’re always a kid as soon as you feel that first tug on your line. Let Gulf Islands Explorers guide you to the best year-round fishing spots and try your luck at landing a ‘big one.’

Come visit our world-class dive sites and immerse yourself in a dazzling underwater world ablaze with colour and fascinating marine life. Swim alongside playful Harbour Seals and introduce yourself to one of our resident Wolf eels. Gaze into the uncannily intelligent eyes of a Giant Pacific Octopus—you’ll never forget it. A few of these giants’ tentacles have been known to span a seven-metre radius—that’s over 22 feet!

Savour the tang of the salt air as you take in magnificent scenery: view colonies of Sea Lions and Harbour Seals basking on sun-baked rocks; thrill to the sight of eagles soaring over tall cliffs. Spy the nesting sights of rare Peregrine Falcons along rocky bluffs. If you’re truly fortunate, you’ll spot a pod of itinerant Orcas or Pilot Whales: nothing can prepare you for the excitement you’ll feel when you see these extraordinary creatures.

Take a guided historical or nature tour of one of the nearby islands, and visit some of the art galleries, shops, restaurants, and pubs along the way. Whichever you choose, Gulf Islands Explorers is your one-stop destination for holiday fun, adventure, and relaxation. Click on our booking icon to reserve your Gulf Islands Explorers tour today.
