Introduction

Embark on an enriching cultural and whale watching adventure through the Salish Sea, to the historic First Nation village site of Aupe.

Travelling aboard custom landing craft (with inside and outside seating), enjoy unobstructed views of the surrounding landscapes alongside possible orca, humpback, dolphin, sea lion and eagle sightings. The expansive views of the coastal scenery will leave you in awe.

Step off the boat onto rugged shore and immerse yourself in the rich history of the Homalco peoples. Take a captivating walk around the former village, where your Homalco guide will generously share traditional stories, language, and legends. You’ll get hands-on with cedar bark and learn to craft your own cedar bracelet – a tangible connection to the traditions of the Indigenous peoples of Canada’s west coast. If you’re lucky, you may even see the resident black bear!
