Lose yourself in a deserted anchorage surrounded by hundreds of majestic fjords, towering 7,000-foot peaks and forests of Douglas firs. Watch sea lions and seals sunbathing on the rocks, dolphins and whales. Take a hike ashore to be spied by bald eagles, deer and mountain goats or take a swim in one of the many warm fresh water mountain lakes. Charter bareboat or crewed/guided from May to October. Few places in the world will reward you with such a superlative "wilderness" feeling like that of British Columbia.
