I’ve lived in Lund for 10 years and never done a zodiac tour. Thanks to a family visit I’ve done one now. This trip is simply amazing. Wild, remote, spectacular. We went far beyond anywhere I’ve been on a boat cruise or a fishing outing. The dramatic scenery and lunch at the mouth of a river below the peaks are reason enough to take this tour, but seeing orca and grizz put it over the top. Slipping into the tiny inlets at low tide was a visual feast. Our guide was first class and highly knowledgeable. The scenery is the destination but the guide makes the trip.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are glad to hear your tour was an epic adventure! The 8hr. Desolation Sound & Beyond to Toba Inlet tour definitely highlights the beauty of our backyard playground! Let us know if you ever want to go out again!

We had an amazing day with Christine travelling around Cortez Island at the north end of British Columbia’s scenic Salish Sea. The highlight of the day was a wonderful 15-minute display by two energetic humpback whales that was witnessed only by ourselves. The pictures don’t capture the reverberations of the fin slaps and magic of the whales’ breathing. We also saw myriad seabirds nesting and on the water, numerous eagles, and a doe nursing her fawn at water’s edge. We had pre-arranged lunch with Christine and were very glad we did. Homemade salads and treats are particularly scrumptious when enjoyed on a remote beach. Christine is thoroughly versed on the local wildlife and history. She shared stories and insights that gave context and meaning to the sights we were enjoying. We went swimming in the surprisingly warm ocean beside a wilderness waterfall. Terracentric provided a first-class adventure we will never forget.

We stayed at the suite rented out by Christine, and also went on a half day zodiac trip with Simon into Desolation Sound. Both were great value and highly recommended. The suite was everything we expected based on the website and then some. All three rooms are very large and beautifully built of reclaimed wood. The deck is huge, has two views north and west, and has honestly the late afternoon sun and sunset in Lund, as per the attached photo.

We recently took a Terracentric 3.5 hour afternoon Desolation Sound tour. It was a beautiful, clear sky, warm sunny day. Ideal for our tour. The three-bench Zodiac was stable, nimble and had the power that was needed. Given the weather, we stayed dry for all of the trip except for a short stretch when we encountered some more open waters in 20-25 km winds. Most of the tour, however, was in sheltered, calm waters.

Indeed, the most fascinating part of our tour was exploring the multitude of coves and channels. As well as shoreside homesteads, we saw dozens of kayaks and summer yachts with people ‘hanging out’, enjoying idyllic summer Desolation Sound getaways, fishing, and jumping off cliffs and rope swings. The tour gave us a glimpse of the great life that exists in and around the Sound for both locals and visitors. Desolation Sound is a special, beautiful place. A treat to explore.

Simon, our guide, was excellent and very personable. He provided us with a comfortably steady flow of historic anecdotes and information and drew our attention to many interesting points along the way.

Simon was a very capable ocean boat operator and very passionate about the Powell River/Lund/Desolation Sound area - to our benefit. Thanks, Simon!

We highly recommend the Terracentric Desolation Sound Zodiac tours.

We had a great trip up into Desolation Sound for our 20th anniversary!! Our skipper Christine was not only personable and a capable captain but a plethora of knowlede on the area both current and historical. She ceated an inviting experience and forever memories. The sharing of stories, thoughts and hypothesese of the various regions and natural formations provided a comfrotable atmosphere of taking a trip with a friend. We would not hesitate in taking another tour with Terracentric and Christine. This is a highly worthwhile experience!!

We did a trip to the Curme Islands from Lund absolutely beautiful. We stayed in Feathers Cove and the Copeland Islands. Terracentric went above and beyond to help our family plan our first ever Ocean kayaking trip. We had an over the phone consultation that was very helpful. After the trip we left Lund and the staff contacted us to advise that we left our hatchet behind. We were already in Powell River when we got the call. The lovely lady at the front desk drove all the way to the ferry terminal to bring us our hatchet. Unreal!! I would definitely recommend Terracentric. On top of the over the top service the kayaks were in great shape, and very stable, All the information they gave us was accurate. Five star service!!! THANK YOU!!!

Great staff that are kind, helpful, knowledgeable in and prompt in responding to questions. Hannah went the extra mile to ensure that I was getting the Boat tour and kayak adventure I was wanting even with Covid restrictions in place. Simon, the boat guide, was great with local history and knowledge about the area. Desolation Sound and the Copeland Islands were absolutely beautiful and an unforgettable experience. Best staycation ever!

First of all, I would like to compliment Terracentric for their incredible customer service. Although I had extremely hard time to find enough people to fill the boat, also during this hard time in covid, Christine and Hannah helped us to successfully manage our trip! 😁

Secondly, Yann (sorry if I spelled it wrong) was incredibly polite, happy and very knowledgeable for our tour. He also operated a boat in very safe manner and we never felt at all that we were at risk!

Thank you Terracentric for such a great day out on the water! ❤️

a Beautiful Zodiac tour into Desolation Sound. German guide Jan gives you a lot of interesting information. a Zodiac is suitable for 6 persons but four is better. (you can also share the cost, to rent a Zodiac is quite expensive!). We did a half day tour and that was enough for us.
