The scenery of B.C.'s coast is spectacular, the fishing is fantastic and a Westwind Tugboat cruise is the best way to explore the coast and see all there is to see on North America's beautiful Inside Passage to Alaska.

“The Great Bear Rainforest Odyssey”
Favoring the growing sport of sea kayaking, combined with fishing, Westwind offers a unique wilderness cruise taking paddlers deep into the majestic fjords and secluded waterways of an unspoiled ancient rainforest. Located 350 miles north of Vancouver, B.C., the Great Bear Rain Forest is the ancestral home of the fabled Kermode or spirit bear as well as wolves, grizzlies and eagles, and the traditional summer habitat of the great whales.

Paddling in the wake of the tugboat mother ship, kayakers are thrilled by lush vegetation, thundering waterfalls, and breathtaking mountain scenery as they meander through peaceful waters cloaked in the hush of a great rainforest. Mother Nature is at her best and the waters teem with silvery Pacific salmon beginning their heroic journey to their native streams followed by marauding grizzlies, wolves and eagles.

Anglers are supplied with all necessary fishing tackle, skiffs and guide as they are wined and dined in luxury aboard a restored 85-foot classic tugboat to enjoy all the splendors of one of the last great wilderness areas of the world.
