We are an award-winning, niche adventure travel company specializing in wildlife and cultural expeditions to Canada’s Great Bear Rainforest, the Haida Gwaii Archipelago, Northern Vancouver Island, and the Southern Gulf Islands and Salish Sea.
Outer Shores Expeditions offers intimate tours of Canada’s Great Bear Rainforest and surrounding islands, a magical region of stunning beauty and immense biodiversity.
