Here is a glance:

Day 1: We’ll meet as a group in the morning at Deep Bay Marina on Vancouver Island and set sail for Hornby Island. After settling into our accommodations and enjoying lunch, we’ll head back out on the water for our first opportunity to explore around Hornby and search for wildlife.

Days 2-4: Our days will be spent between the sailboat and on land. As a group, we’ll adapt our plans based on weather, wildlife activity, and photographic opportunities - allowing the conditions to guide us toward the best experience.

On this tour the dates align with the Herring Ball & Festival, so you’ll have the option to join the celebrations: live music, art, dancing, and a quintessential gulf island atmosphere.

Day 5: After a final, relaxed morning of exploration, we’ll begin our journey back to Deep Bay Marina. We’ll say our see-you-laters and send you off inspired with lots of photos to edit.

Accommodation, food, drinks and snacks are all included. 

On this photo tour, everything is chartered privately, giving us the freedom to decide where to stop and what to focus on, an experience you won’t find on a regular guided trip. We’re not bound by rigid schedules or mixed group interests; instead, our priority is creating the ideal setting for photography.

With this dedicated approach, we can spend as much time as needed with our subjects, waiting for the perfect light and capturing those fleeting moments. Our goal is to place you in the best possible position - while maintaining a respectful and ethical approach toward wildlife - to capture incredible images and fully enjoy the experience.

Whether you’re up for early mornings to catch sunrises and late nights under the stars (or prefer to sleep in and take it slow) this adventure is paced to suit your style.
