This Kelp Crab was not a happy camper. I think that it might have Boring Sponge on his shield, what do you think?

When you forget to take out your lunch box during a dock landing. And, it’s the busiest day of the year in Refuge Cove 😂.

This season, we've had many Humpback Whale sightings near the Copeland Islands. It's never guaranteed off course, but the odds seem to be in our favour this year. Book your day-tour today, easilly done through our website: footprintbc.ca

Classic Desolation Sound! Another fantastic 5-day tour in the books. Just not textbook, but very special ......... again. One of the comments we received on this tour:

'John!!!

I wanted to give you a hug good bye!!
I’ll write more later but I just wanna say thank you thank you thank you.

YOU made this trip so special.

Until soon!
✌🏼 ❤️'

And literally, this is the only reason why we love what we do so much (writing this with tears in my eyes).

A fantastic 5-day tour in Desolation Sound. And the wildlife encounters were amazing too. Killer Whales (including our 'local' Rocky) and Humpback Whales, just to name a few. A lovely fresh water swim in Unwin Lake and a final night on the beautiful Copeland Islands. We don't have many seats left on our multi-day tours this season, but please do ask: [email protected]

Our 6-day tour in May did go very well. We 'survived' a storm (even saw some water-spouts), saw dolphins, enjoyed the spectacular views and an abundance of wildlife. But most of all, we had a fantastic time. At this moment we only have 2 seats available on the September 6 - 11 edition (we only take 4 guests max. on this special tour).

What a beautiful and lovely day tour in the majestic Copeland Islands today. It’s still so quiet with other boats but wildlife is very active. Many seals, sea-lions, a black bear, eagles catching fish, mink, fantastic birds on and around Major Rock. And even the phone one of our guests dropped was found back, thank you Lucy! I should buy a lottery ticket.
