The winter birds are arriving and we want to share their beauty with you.  We've asked local nature photographer Terry Venables to join us for this mini cruise to share his bird and photography knowledge with you. 

We'll spend 1.5 hours on the water visiting little islets in the Salish Sea and Robert's Bay - a popular winter bird site.  Every day more and more winter birds are arriving - Buffleheads, Hooded & Common Merganser, Harlequin ducks and many more.  And with the salmon run underway, more sea lions are in the area too.

Weather permitting we will:
Depart from Canoe Cove Marina - E Dock @ 10 am
Return at 11:30 am 


Only $35/per person
Seating is limited so reserve early info@ecocruising.com or call 250-655-5211

Plan an adventure

This is really quite a funny story about a group from Piers Island that wanted to kayak Russell & Portland Islands.  They can see both islands from Piers, but crossing that channel with BC ferry traffic is a little daunting.  There were 3 couples and one teen, the guys were fine with walking the great trails on the islands, the ladies wanted to circumnavigate the islands by kayak.  
A plan was devised, kayaks & picnic baskets loaded...and the adventure began.  Mona, our son Jacob & I were part of that group.  Which kind of reminds us of "I liked it so much I bought the company!" 
We planned an adventure that was perfect for us - talk to us about what you'd like to do.  Have a SUP - we can expand your paddling world. :)
