Relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Vancouver Island’s rugged West Coast as you tour its inlets with Get West Adventure Cruises aboard the MV Uchuck III, a 136-foot passenger and freight vessel providing service through historic Nootka, Esperanza, and Kyuquot Sounds.

Come to experience the real West Coast of British Columbia, Canada. Our schedule provides day and overnight cruises through some of Vancouver Island’s most spectacular scenery, perfect for a short adventure or family vacation. Watch the day-to-day events of a working coastal vessel, explore the shores and waterways of isolated inlets, and see a variety of wildlife – black bears, eagles, sea otters, Pacific dolphins, gray and killer whales. Like to get adventurous? Take advantage of the Uchuck’s route to wet launch your kayak or be dropped off at the Nootka trailhead for a four to five day hiking trip along Vancouver Island’s most remote and pristine coastal trail – without the long waitlist of the famed West Coast Trail. Or maybe you’re more interested in the rich history of the Uchuck III, a converted minesweeper from WW2, and the local villages it frequents.

Sea Otters on Vancouver Island

Bring your camera and binoculars: you never know what might await you around the corner!
