Needless to say, we don’t take our guests ashore on this particular island. But if you do come on a tour with us we will show you this and other spectacular sights in beautiful Barkley Sound, June being a particularly good time to watch this “scene” unfold.
We hope to see you when the time is right 
Due to Covid-19 we are currently not running any tours. At this point we are still unsure when we will open but we will keep this page updated.
In the meantime, guided by the advice from the BC health authority and WorkSafeBC, we are working on adapting our daily routines to ensure that our guests will feel confident about safety once we do run tours. We will post our safety plan once an opening date has been set.
We miss being out on the water and the contact with our guests but look forward to being able to showcase our beautiful area and the abundant wildlife when the time is right!
We thank you for your understanding and hope to see you soon.
If you have any questions or wish to book, please email us at info@archipelagocruises.com and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours.
Our season usually starts on May 1st, however this year, due to COVID-19, we will remain closed until further notice. We are monitoring the situation closely and will post an update once we have new information regarding a possible opening date.

Until then, please stay home and stay safe!

No sooner are we closed for the season and already we’re getting ready for next year! We made use of the fantastic weather we had this past week by treating our brand new teak deck chairs with a couple of coats of oil.
Don’t miss the opportunity to be one of the lucky guests to sit in one of these chairs in 2019!
Lunch time is by far the busiest time of day for us as we set up tables and chairs all over the boat, get the lunch baskets and drinks ready, serve the meals, check on our guests, clear away, then take everything down and continue on our journey through the islands. And all this in the space of one hour! For most of our guests this is a very unique experience – a moment of magic.
