Viewed from the water, take in some of the most scenic locations Nanaimo has to offer. View local sights of the Inner harbour, Newcastle Island, Departure Bay, Pipers Lagoon, Shack Island, Hudson Rocks, Five Finger Island and Snake Island. As we depart, we will cruise through departure bay past the BC Ferries terminal and alongside Newcastle Island. Once out of the bay we will head north past Pipers lagoon, with views of Vancouver Islands waterfront as well as the world renouned North Shore mountain ranges. We will continue past Hammond Bay, the historic Shack Island and Neck Point Park. Continuing North, we cruise past some on Nanaimo's most expensive waterfront properties before turning and heading east to cruise pask Five finger islands and Hudson Rocks Ecological Reserve. Both islands are well know for their colonies of bird species and seal and sealion populations. We will then proceed to Snake island, a location best know for its multiple ship wrecks, large sea bird populations as well as resident seal and sealion colonies. From there we will proceed past Newcastle and Protection Islands to Nanaimo's Inner Harbour. We will cruise past the downtown harbour marinas where the largest boats and yachts are moored. We will then proceed past the famous Dinghy Dock Pub, the only floating pub in North America. If you would like, we can drop you off at the pub for lunch, dinner or for drinks. You can take the Pub ferry back to Downtown Nanaimo when your ready to wrap up your day. Otherwise, we will continue on to where we departed from. While this is Not a whale watching tour, if we hear or know of any whales in the area at the time we will do our best to take you to them. We will do our best to take you to the locations where marine life like Seals and Sealions gather, but we cannot guarantee they will be there for viewing at the time of your trip as that is something that is out of our control.
