... Besides Fishing!

Sport fishing for salmon, halibut and ling cod is, of course, our top priority but there are plenty of other things to keep you busy during down times... or you can just relax!

Spring Island is a great hiking destination - we'll take you there in the boat in the morning and come pick you up in the afternoon. We'll pack you a tasty picnic lunch and you can hike the trails and go beach combing along the shoreline on the beautiful beaches.

Spring, Aktis and Mission Island are the only Islands in our area with no resident predators, such as cougars, wolves and bears. Because of this deer are plentiful and it's a safe environment for families to explore nature on the West coast of Vancouver Island.

Spring Island had a weather station back in the 1960's. The Spring Island trail used to be a road for hauling supplies up to the 12 or so people that operated the weather station on Spring Island.

The Spring Island trail takes you through the middle of the island to some of the most beautiful beaches surrounding the Kyuquot area.

Brooks Peninsula Provincial Park
There are no facilities available in this undeveloped provincial park. The Brooks Peninsula Provincial Park is located on the northwest coast of Vancouver Island. There is no road access to the park. Boat access is from Fair Harbour and Kyuquot on Kyuquot Sound.

We have a raft of about 100 sea otters that live just five minutes from Kyuquot, all year round. The waters of Brooks Peninsula and West coast Vancouver Island are home to a large sea otter population.

Decimated by the fur trade in the early 1900s, and completely wiped out in BC by the late 1920s, sea otters from Alaska were transplanted to the northwest coastal waters in 1969-1972. The present population on Vancouver Island is estimated at 2000.

Kayaking is one of the most popular activities here in this remote area of the west coast of Vancouver Island. You may find the links at right useful if you are interested in sea kayaking.

Darrell Jack at the Rediscovery Camp, gets ready (at left) for an evening of song and dance at Battle Bay in the Brooks Peninsula. Alex Jules, who works with the Rediscovery Camp, says all kayakers are welcome to drop in at any time to visit. Rediscovery will have three separate camp-outs in August. Camps will be at Rugged Point, Spring Island, and Battle Bay. Camp dates are unknown right now.

Explore the wild ocean coastline, pristine estuaries, fjords, old-growth forests and rugged mountain ranges or join a multi-day sea kayaking expedition. Features of the park range from inter tidal and beach areas to alpine and sub alpine regions. Archaeological sites containing the remnants of cultures that thrived here over the past several thousand years have been identified in the area.

The park is home to the Marbled Murrelet that nests in the thick moss of old-growth coastal rain forest. These birds spend their whole life at sea except when they go ashore to nest. The natural nesting habitat of the Marbled Murrelet has been threatened by clear cut logging of the old coastal forests.
