We are an award-winning, niche adventure travel company specializing in wildlife and cultural expeditions with small groups of six guests to Canada’s Haida Gwaii Archipelago, Northern Vancouver Island, Southern Gulf Islands and Salish Sea, Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, and Great Bear Rainforest based from our classic wooden schooner, Passing Cloud, as well as Outer Shores Lodge.
Outer Shores Expeditions offers intimate tours of Canada’s Great Bear Rainforest and surrounding islands, a magical region of stunning beauty and immense biodiversity. Join our Spring or Fall expeditions and let us show you a place you’ll never forget – a place that offers new surprises and captures the imagination like few places on Earth.
The remote island archipelago of Haida Gwaii stands alone in a country teeming with spectacular wilderness areas and offers unmatched wildlife viewing paired with an Indigenous cultural heritage dating back more than 14,000 years.
Observing, photographing, learning about, and simply being amazed by the spectacular populations of killer whales, humpback whales, dolphins, porpoises, sea lions, sea otters, and seabirds that congregate in the coastal waters of Northern Vancouver Island is the central focus of this expedition.
Join us aboard the schooner Passing Cloud to explore Gulf Islands National Park Reserve within British Columbia’s Salish Sea and Southern Gulf Islands Archipelago.
Passing Cloud is a 70′ classic wooden schooner designed by William James Roué, famous for designing the legendary schooner Bluenose.
Now open, Outer Shores Lodge welcomes guests year-round for all-inclusive experiences that feature our approach to balancing escape, relaxation, connection, and adventure.
