Eagle Scenic Boat Tour OR Sea Safari Eco Tour
Today
you have your choice of activity. Depending on your travel day, you can
choose between a Bald Eagle Scenic Boat Tour or a Sea Safari Eco Tour.
Bald
Eagle Scenic Boat Tour (Saturday &
Sunday ONLY)
In
Canada, each
winter, witness the astonishing bald eagle migration and
salmon spawn in the scenic Squamish
River
Valley. You
will be met at your hotel and transfer, by bus, to the Cheakamus
River. You can enjoy your Eagle Safari in the
warmth and comfort of your Mustang Survival Suit and rubber boots. Small
expedition style boats will allow you to view the world's
highest concentration of bald eagles as they feast on dying
salmon. In 1994, over 3700 eagles were counted in the
corridor! You'll be fascinated by the determination of the
salmon as they struggle to lay their eggs in the gravel
spawning grounds of this scenic river.
A photographers dream, the trip is suitable for
everyone including kids as young as 5. It's a perfect
family adventure and is fully guided. We think you'll agree
there is no better way to appreciate this phenomenon as the
natural history of the northwest comes to life in this
outdoor classroom.
At the end of your safari you will be treated to a hearty lunch at the Howe
Sound Inn Brew Pub before returning to Vancouver.

Embark on an unforgettable adventure to the spectacular scenery and wildlife
that has made coastal British Columbia world famous. You

the start of your tour. With an
experienced guide at the helm, you won't miss a thing on this high-speed
26-foot, rigid-hull inflatable, powered by twin 225-horsepower Mercury
outboards. You'll find yourself racing beside steep cliffs, exploring caves, and
viewing harbour seals at play. Points of interest are Pam Rocks, Harbour
Seal haulout, normally complemented by majestic bald eagles soaring
overhead. Cruise out into The Strait of Georgia to see awesome views of
Vancouver. On your return to Horseshoe Bay you'll view spectacular waterfront
homes around West Vancouver.
