In 1791, Captain George Vancouver was one of the first European mariners to record his visit to what is now British Columbia and Washington State, leaving behind a legacy of place names such as Vancouver Island and Mt. Rainier.

Come with us and retrace Captain Vancouver's historic voyage, visiting quaint ports, great cities, and remarkable wilderness that has changed little since Vancouver's visit. Sandy beaches invite rich beachcombing and quiet contemplation. Rocky shores beckon with tide pools and crimson rock crabs.

Madrona trees and bright rhododendrons cover rugged hillsides shrouded in emerald evergreens. Only a few of these beautiful islands are accessible by ferry. The rest are reserved for adventurous souls who long to leave civilization and all its trappings far behind.
