Chillaxing ….
We’ve been lucky enough to see sea otters every day this season. We see mothers with their pups, single males, even groups of sea otters hanging out in the kelp. Seeing them is always a highlight!
Happy to be Back!
We are now open for the 2023 Season! Don’t miss the opportunity to join us for a day of wildlife viewing and breathtaking scenery.

Sights, Sounds and Smells to Look Forward To
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 
Mid June Update
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.
2020 Opening Date Postponed
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.
We look forward showing you the incredible wildlife and scenery of our beautiful area as soon as it if safe to do so.
Until then, please stay home and stay safe!

Getting Ready For 2019 (Already…)
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!
