Experience the natural power of BC’s ocean tides on this guided Zodiac tour through some of the most impressive tidal channels in the Discovery Islands. You’ll travel to locations such as Seymour Narrows, Okisollo, Hole In the Wall, Yuculta, and Arran Rapids, following the tide as it flows between islands and inland. Here, currents can reach up to 15.5 knots (29 km/h), creating standing waves, whirlpools, and other unique marine phenomena.
