As you travel through the isolated northwest coast of Vancouver Island, take in the breathtaking views of the MV Uchuck III. This 136-foot wooden-hulled maritime ferry travels through historic Nootka Sound, Esperanza Inlet, and Kyuquot Sound, carrying passengers and freight.

Passengers may expect to occasionally observe a wide range of marine animals, including bald eagles, sea lions, sea otters, and even whales.

This marine tour on Vancouver Island’s West Coast is an excellent way to spend a relaxed day. At points of interest along the route, informative announcements are provided.
