Highlights

Enjoy an adventure cruise of British Columbia's Gulf Islands onboard the schooner Maple Leaf.

"Enjoy an adventure cruise of British Columbia's Gulf Islands onboard the schooner Maple Leaf. B.C.'s Gulf Islands offer a combination of unique wilderness and eclectic communities. On land, Garry oaks and Douglas fir forests, wildflower meadows and Arbutus (madrone) trees flourish. You'll explore rocky beaches, quiet lagoons and spectacular passages. The islands lie in a rain shadow, so some even support small cacti. Our onboard naturalist unlocks the wonder of even the smallest shells you may find. Fresh spring and fall breezes make for great sailing, and we often get generous portions of sunshine. A stunning variety of sea life is found here - brightly coloured sea stars, crabs, clams and seaweeds. Seals, otters, dolphins and whales swim the waters between islands. These trips are a great opportunity to experience the relaxing pace of life aboard Maple Leaf. In the quiet beauty of the Gulf Islands, you will feel as if you are thousands of miles from anywhere."

Past Traveler Feedback

"I came to see the spring flowers in the Gulf Islands and I discovered the most interesting group of Canadian people. What a delightful group to be a part of. The backdrop of a beautiful Tall Ship - bald eagles, seagulls, sea lions, four gourmet meals a day - and a different organic wine each evening. Thank you Maple Leaf community for including me in an Easter I will never forget." - Jane Morris, Shrewsbury, UK "
