What people love about British Columbia Tours

Lee was a fantastic tour guide. His knowledge, commitment and enthusiasm was to the highest standard and he continually went out of his way to ensure that everyone on the tour was having the best time, wanting to provide a unique experience for all of us. This was my first group tour and Lee has set the highest standard. I would love to join another tour with him in the future.

The sites are amazing and the paddleboarding and kayaking trips were amazing! Terrance is a great guide. The locals are kind and easy to talk to.

This Vancouver Island tour was another great tour from Fresh Adventures. The trip was well run and organised. The 2 guides, Jafar and Carl were excellent and cooked some fantastic meals throughout the week. A good mix of exploring and relaxation at some great swimming areas throughout the island. Definitely recommend.

"This tour was great for a solo traveller looking to explore new places as part of a group. I got to go places I never would have known about if I had gone independently and got to meet lots of great people from all over the world. The tour guide was great! Very considerate of everyone in the group and happy to share his knowledge about the areas we visited. He put in a lot of time and effort to ensure the meals were high quality and healthy and encouraged everyone to take part in helping out. It was a great experience and I?m so glad I went.

What travellers are saying.

Discover Coastal British Columbia

Awaken your senses by cruising through some of the richest ecological environments on earth.

Experience an adventure steeped in authenticity

Experience daylight lodge to lodge cruising – experience intimate, engaging encounters. Up close and personal adventures on board the comfort of the Pacific Bear, and the welcoming nature of the coastal community at our selected-on shore accommodation. Our cruises are not the normal or average adventure. These journeys appeal to those adventure seekers who possess ongoing curiosity. These are not just small ships with compromised on board accommodations, rather a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere on a boutique ship and expansive, first class on shore accommodation. Click an icon below to select a cruise

Desolation Sound and the Inside Passage

The geography on this route is a mesmerizing mix of narrow inlets to deep fjords and small rounded islands to towering glaciers. The scenery around these islands is arguably some of the most impressive on the British Columbia coast. There is a remarkable First Nations history in the area including sites in Lund, Cortes, Quadra, Toba Inlet and even Homfray Channel with several remaining relics and pictographs.

Southern Gulf Islands of the Salish Sea

With daylight hours spent cruising the coast and overnight in shoreside village accommodations, you’ll enjoy a complete Salish Sea Islands experience. The geology of these islands creates a fabulous cruising area. The Gulf Islands are made of sandstone that has been folded and uplifted until it protrudes out of the ocean, while the San Juan Islands are the peaks of sunken mountains. Although sitting on both sides of the border, the Gulf and San Juan Islands are so interconnected it feels like one big community.

Pacific Rim

Witness the epic feeding migration of the Grey Whales off the Pacific Rim National Park on board the Pacific Bear II. With daylight hours spent cruising the coast and overnights at select shoreside accommodations, you’ll receive a profound coastal experience. Our Pacific Coastal Cruise is an adventure that can only be experienced by a select few during a special time of year. The itinerary follows the Alberni Inlet to the centre of Barkley Sound and up into the sheltered waters of Ucluelet.

OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY

Pacific Coastal Cruises & Tours is always looking for ways to be more environmentally friendly. Being an ecotourism company, our passion is exploring British Columbia’s coast and protecting it is just as important to us as any other part of our business. From transportation efficiency to the products we use, sustainability is always top of mind.

Introducing the Pacific Bear II

With an overall length of almost 90ft, the yachtship Pacific Bear II is the ultimate in daylight lodge to lodge cruising. The yacht has ample interior viewing space including a welcoming 360° extensive pilot house, a salon with bar and big screen TV for naturalist presentations, single seat dining for all guests and a cozy forward viewing lounge. The Pacific Bear II also features a main deck walk around and upper deck, both open and covered.

Just lovely, so relaxing and within some of the most beautiful spots on the west coast. The crew were such professionals, attending to everyone’s needs even when you didn’t realize you needed anything!

Trip of a lifetime. It was on our bucket list and did not disappoint! The crew were attentive, knowledgeable, professional and were very much a part of making this one of our most memorable trips ever.

Throughout the entire trip, beginning to end, the Captain and his crew offered a five star experience of a lifetime. We were impressed by their knowledge, enthusiasm and experience as they guided us on a stellar cruise through one of the jewels on BC's rugged coastline.

We enjoyed the dedicated enthusiastic staff that pampered us older folks in every way. Combine this with lovingly prepared gourmet food, a well run ship, cozy remote lodges and the great BC outdoors backdrop at its Best- and you have a very memorable vacation.

British Columbia Sea Kayaking and Whale Watching Tours

Kayak with orcas  in the BEST spot on the planet: Johnstone Strait in British Columbia.  Over 220 fish-eating killer whales congregate in this Vancouver Island Passage each summer to feast on the prolific salmon that are concentrated in the strait. The sheltered waters of Johnstone Strait create ideal conditions for any anxious paddler looking for a sensational British Columbia sea kayaking experience, as these waterways are generally calm, and host phenomenal marine life like dolphins, humpback whales, porpoises, seals, sea lions, sea birds, and a myriad of fascinating tidal animals as well as the famous orcas. 

In addition to killer whales and humpbacks , there are miles upon miles of forested shoreline where bald eagles perch and tall trees reach to the sky. In general, the birding on our kayaking tours is spectacular. Sea lions and seals swim in the waterways along with otters and a multitude of seabirds. Along this magical shoreline, we set up our camps beneath towering cedar, spruce and fir trees.  

Our camps feature stand-up, walk-in canvas tents, set up with cots for your comfort. The kitchen is set up underneath the trees while logs and stumps nearby make the perfect seats to accompany the kitchen. Temperatures are moderate throughout the summer months and our camps are chosen for their spectacular locations, and perfectly spaced out for each day’s paddling journey.

We offer a variety of trip lengths, from our 4-day orca or 4-day humpback base camp tours, to our 6-day Blackfish Waters tour and 6-day Broughton Archipelago Expedition .  

Additionally, we offer an exclusive lodge-based tour at God’s Pocket Resort – We are the only sea kayaking company on Vancouver Island to offer a kayaking tour based at God’s Pocket Resort. Set in an isolated bay in God’s Pocket Provincial Park, the resort features individual cabins, delicious meals, and is the ideal base for daily sea kayak explorations.

Blackfish waters.

Our signature  6-day Blackfish Waters kayak tour makes use of our three permanent camp set ups, where our standing-height canvas tents are set up for the duration of the season. Placed on cedar decks, the tents boast spectacular views of the sea. This trip spends one or two nights at the same camp we use for our orca basecamp tour and your chances of seeing both orcas and humpbacks is very good.

For kayakers with prior experience, we also offer a  sea kayaking tour in Broughton Archipelago Marine Park , complete with a water taxi ride deep into the Broughton Archipelago and a 6-day paddle back to Johnstone Strait, BC. On this trip we spend about half our days in whale waters, and the other half weaving among the enchanted islands of the Broughton Archipelago. For two nights we set up camps in remote, undeveloped areas, so this trip has more of an expeditionary nature to it.

Orca Base Camp

If you are more interested in whale watching than kayaking, and/or you just want to kayak a bit less, then our basecamp tours are an excellent choice. We have semi-permanent camps in two locations. Earlier in the season, before the orcas or killer whales have arrived, we offer our 4-day Humpback Basecamp tour located on Swanson Island. This is a beautiful setting and we often view whales swimming, blowing, and even breaching just in front of camp.

From mid-July and onwards, our orca basecamp is the perfect adventure. On this tour our camps are set up just in front of an orca "rubbing area." This is a pebble-bottomed area of the sea where the orcas come to rub their bellies and sides, making our camp a fantastic place to whale watch. The water is quite clear, and it’s a real thrill when the orcas come by camp. 

God's Pocket Resort 

For those who prefer warm beds and real showers, our all-inclusive lodge-based trip  at God's Pocket Resort  is just a bit further north in BC inside God's Pocket Provincial Marine Park (rated by Jacques Cousteau as THE best cold water SCUBA dive spot in the world). Our God's Pocket Resort trip is designed for those who wish to experience diverse wildlife, marine mammals and kayaking without having to camp. This 6-day trip spends nights at the remote, tranquil resort and each day we head out for paddles and walks among the islands of the archipelago. Sea Kayak Adventures in British Columbia operates exclusive use of the lodge for our mid-summer kayak tours.

Past adventurers.

We used Discover Canada Tours for our trip to Whistler BC. The views were spectacular and our bus driver / tour guide (Joe Bitgood) was awesome…very knowledgeable on the history of BC and it’s geology. Would highly recommend this excursion and Discover Canada.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Value

I took the Whistler sightseeing tour with Joe as our guide, it was really great! Joe was very friendly and helpful, informative and knowledgeable about BC and its history; he told us interesting tidbits and stories about the province and Whistler/Blackcomb. I enjoyed being able to do my own thing on the tour, Whistler was beautiful! Thanks again to Joe and Discover Canada Tours!

My family and I booked 4 tours with this company and the first one was by far the best one. Special thanks goes out to Joe Bitgood for taking care of us and ensuring comfort throughout the day while also delivering the true history of British Columbia.

The tour was great! Our tour guide Meaghan was the best. Very nice and knowledgeable. She was funny too! Highly recommended!

Bc lions at toronto argonauts odds, picks and predictions, share this article.

The BC Lions and the Toronto Argonauts open their CFL regular seasons Sunday at BMO Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network/TSN/CFL+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s  lines around the Lions vs. Argonauts odds , and make our expert CFL picks and predictions .

The Lions finished 11-5 in the regular season, and BC posted a 41-30 win over Calgary in the division semifinals before bowing out to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the division finals. BC finished 8-9-1 against the spread (ATS) last season, while the Over ended up with an 11-6-1 advantage, including the final 7 games of the regular season.

These teams met once last season, also in Toronto, with the Argonauts posting a 45-24 win as 3-point underdogs as the Over (47.5) easily connected. BC QB Vernon Adams Jr. passed for 388 yards and 3 TDs, but Toronto had a more balanced attack with 106 rushing yards, 249 passing yards and a whopping 362 return yards. Robertson Daniel capped off the scoring with a 62-yard INT for TD.

For the Argos, QB Chad Kelly was suspended at least 9 regular-season games for violating the CFL’s policy of gender-based violence following an investigation into a lawsuit filed by a former strength and conditioning coach against Kelly and the team. He was the CFL’s most outstanding player last season, and Toronto had a franchise-best 16-2 record.

QBs Nick Arbuckle and Cameron Dukes figure to vie for the primary reps under center until Kelly can return, but the Argos will have a much different look until such point. Defensively, Toronto is still strong, but it lost coordinator Corey Mace to the head coaching job in Saskatchewan this season.

Jake Ceresna , who had 12 sacks last season, was acquired from the Edmonton Elks for WR Kurleigh Gittens Jr. and a 7th-round pick in 2024.

BC Lions at Argonauts picks and predictions

BC Lions 32, Argonauts 19

The BC Lions (-275) are a little on the pricey side, costing nearly 3 times your potential return. That’s a pretty steep price tag, but the Argonauts (+210) are a complete mess going into the season.

Arbuckle and Dukes will jockey for the starting gig under center until Kelly can return, but that’s a giant downgrade. Plus, Toronto is a little banged up for a team going into the opener, so that’s a concern.

Against the spread

The BC LIONS -5.5 (-115) are worth backing for a much better value.

Last season, the Argonauts +5.5 (-105) were a buzzsaw, crushing the Lions in their only regular-season meeting. However, Toronto should struggle during the early going, so it’s a perfect scenario for BC to take advantage, go on the road and start off strong.

OVER 47.5 (-105) is the lean in this East-West rivalry, but be careful not to overdo it.

While the Lions offense should be purring, remember that the Argos are going to have a much different look. In last season’s Week 4 matchup, Toronto did most of the heavy lifting to make the total go high, and the Argos were an Over machine in 2023 down the stretch. But be cautious, as we don’t really know how the Toronto offense is going to look early on.

PGA Tour reports 'progress' without details in meeting with Saudi wealth fund leaders

The PGA Tour is reporting progress without any details in its ongoing negotiations with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia

The PGA Tour reported progress without details from a face-to-face meeting between its negotiating committee and the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia as it tries to work toward a deal.

“We want to get this right, and we are approaching discussions with careful consideration for our players, our fans, our partners and the game’s future,” the tour said in a statement released Saturday morning.

The meeting in New York on Friday evening involved the “transaction committee” of PGA Tour Enterprises and Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the governor of the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund that pays for rival LIV Golf.

Rory McIlroy is on the committee and said he was encouraged by the progress. He referred to the three-hour meeting as “very productive, very constructive, very collaborative.”

“Definitely things are heading in the right direction,” McIlroy said after the third round of the Memorial. He participated on a video call. “A lot of progress was made. I can’t really say much more than that, but it was really positive.”

PGA Tour Enterprises is the commercial group that came out of the framework agreement announced a year ago among the PGA Tour, PIF and the European tour.

Has tipping gone too far? Here’s a guide on when to tip.

PGA Tour Enterprises brought on Strategic Sports Group, which invested an initial $1.5 billion earlier this year. Negotiations are ongoing to bring in PIF as a minority investor, and there has been more activity than previously believed.

McIlroy, who joined Tiger Woods and Adam Scott on the transaction committee, said it has been meeting with PIF representatives every Monday, Wednesday and Friday over the last couple of weeks. The tour referred to negotiations as “accelerated” in recent months.

Friday’s meeting was the first in-person discussion since players and board members met with Al-Rumayyan in the Bahamas the day after The Players Championship in March.

The tour said the committee and PIF have been meeting “multiple times weekly to work through potential deal terms and come to a shared vision on the future of professional golf.” It said only that “more progress was made” in New York.

“We remain committed to these negotiations, which require working through complex considerations to best position golf for global growth,” the tour said.

McIlroy said those multiple meetings are more about financials, such as the investment possibilities of PIF and SSG.

“But I think last night was more talking about the future of the game and the vision, and that was where I thought there was a lot of progress that was made,” he said.

Woods and Scott are on the full PGA Tour Enterprises board, along with player directors Jordan Spieth, Webb Simpson, Patrick Cantlay and Peter Malnati.

McIlroy resigned from the PGA Tour board last November, and there was an unsuccessful attempt by Simpson to have McIlroy replace him. McIlroy, the strongest voice who has gone from heavy criticism of LIV to being more willing to compromise, is part of the transaction committee and ultimately does not have a vote.

But he has relationships with both sides of the table. McIlroy had said he would be more in listen mode when the business leaders — Al-Rumayyan and his team at PIF, a PGA Tour Enterprises committee that includes four SSG investors — sorted through details.

“We’re there to maybe give a perspective from player’s point of view,” McIlroy had said Thursday. “But, I mean, this is a negotiation about an investment into PGA Tour Enterprises. This is ‘big boy’ stuff, and I’ll certainly be doing more listening than I will be talking.”

He said Saturday he did weigh in on occasion.

“The mute button was turned off a couple of times to chime in,” he said.
