Local History
Your skipper, Leonard Ellis or Daniel Ellis, takes you to several historical sites built by settlers and talks about the history and settlement of the area.
Hanging Glaciers
We cruise by Hanging Glaciers and stop in Bachelor Bay at the sandy beach and visit Seal Rock. The views to the east of Mt. Nusatsum and to the west of Bentinck Spire are spectacular.
Wildlife
watching
We cruise into the mouth of the Salmon Spawning Creek at Green Bay to view the tidal estuary in search of Grizzlies, Black Bears and Wolves. Heading out around the point into South Bentinck Arm you may have opportunity to see Seals, Dolphins, Humpback Whales and Killer whales.
Natural
Hot Springs
Arriving at the Hot Springs you can enjoy a dip in the beautiful remote natural mineral hot spring nestled in a rock crevice with crystal clear water and no odor. After your soothing soak in the hot springs we cruise over to the gorgeous set of waterfalls and cool down with the overspray.

For lunch we tie up in a quiet little emerald green harbour at the trailhead of the famous Big Cedar Tree, a great place for guests to spot Seals and Eagles, while enjoying their provided onboard lunch including Deli Meat Sandwiches, Fruit, Snacks and Cold Drinks. In hot weather, many people enjoy a swim here in the glacial water.
First Nation
Pictographs
Departing the sheltered bay we cruise up to a vertical granite bluff to view a very impressive display of ancient First Nation pictographs that tell stories of long ago. Heading north out of the fjord we keep an eye out for Dolphins and at the end of the day arrive back at the Bella Coola Harbour at approx 4:00 pm.
