The MV Uchuck provided two friends and myself with a spectacular cruise down a long inlet of water for a 'wet launch' drop-off at Friendly Cove that allowed us to reach the western side of Nootka and Vancouver Island and experience the majesty and power of the Pacific ocean. From the professional, courteous service of the crew who load your kayaks, to the ride on the well-maintained, historic vessel, to the great home-cooked food served with a smile, the experience is first-class and genuine. Can't say enough good things about it!

It was a great day weather wise and the overall trip was enlightening. The talk given by first nations person was educational and the sights were super. The history about the Spanish and Captain Cook and other explorers and traders was fascinating. Well worth a visit.

The experience began right from the time we arrived at the dock with the breeze and smells of the coast and working harbor to boarding the Uchuck III with fresh coffee brewing. Bring a warm sweater and jacket for the cooler days and comfortable shoes. Everything is casual. A camera with a good Zoom lens is desirable. You will see whales, Helicopter logging in progress on the inlets, eagles by the dozen, seals, sea otters. You will visit Fish farms, Logging camps, fishing lodges, even a spiritual outreach camp. The scenery is spectacular. Kyuquot Harbor is a quaint historic village where you will be lodged for the night. Basic but comfortable accommodations await. Good trail walks to see first growth trees with lots of huckle berries along the way. The guests went for a delicious Halibut & Chips dinner with the best brownies. The next morning began with a fresh fruit sausages & eggs, coffee buns or toast. The return trip was every bit as spectacular as going. The cook had a clam chowder and freshly made sandwiches. for a reasonable cost. therefore bring some cash for lunches aboard, and for some of the native art sold at the dock. The trip we took was a two day trip, We will be recommending this trip to everyone we can. I have fished the area 24 years ago and it was great to be back. Born and raised on the Island these trips are Magic.

We really loved our Kyuquot trip. We'd never taken a cruise before and didn't know what to expect. The vast open water and all the trees was breathtaking. The crew was exceptionally friendly and let us tour the ship. We made lots of new friends. A wonderful, relaxing trip. We loved it!
