This trip on the MV Uchuck lll with Great West Adventure Cruises is a must on your visit to Vancouver Island. Its a great way to spend a planned weekend whether you do a day trip or one of their overnight cruises. We had one of the most beautiful days weather wise which was indeed a bonus.
We came from Vancouver's lower mainland. We left on a Friday morning and stayed in Campbell River for the evening and then in the morning did the drive to Gold River. Ship left at 10:00 a.m and we were back by 5:30p.m.
Lots of history and beautiful scenery cruising down the Muchalet Inlet. Great for a family or 3 or 4 couples. I would definitely look into it.

This is a wonderful experience for anyone who wants to discover the daily life of a cargo vessel that is the only way for remote villages to be catered for. The landscape are grea and the atmosphere in Kyuqot village is very authentic.

Just the most amazing trip on this beautiful converted wooden minesweeper from WW2.
The scenery is dramatic and wonderful, the crew friendly and welcoming. Arriving at Friendly Cove we were treated to a historical First Nation perspective of the local area giving an insight to the colourful and turbulent past. Following in Cooks footsteps and being aware of the local archaeology is an experience not to be missed. Nootka Sound, Bligh Island and Resolution Cove are some of the landmarks passed and to watch kayakers winched aboard still in their kayak by a deck derrick is a sight to behold. We would love to go back tomorrow and it was certainly worth every penny. You should just do it!
