you at the top of this hiking trail

 Cruises:
- Tranquility Bay offers cruises that let you see this beautiful
area from the comfort of a cruising boat. Sun
Star Charters can take you on a scenic cruise to experience
the sun setting or out around the islands and amid day visit to
Gambier Island. There is something very relaxing about leaving
the land and viewing the mountains and forests from the water.
- The Sunset Cruise is 2-3 hours of spectacular colour and is
a perfect way to end a day, and begin an evening. Watch the mountains
and ocean settle into the peacefulness of evening. Then settle
into your own peacefulness along with them.
- A Fishing Charter will take you out for 3 hours of fishing in
some of the clearest and most fish abundant waters anywhere. Cast
your line for salmon, red snapper and cod, then sit back in the
sun and relax until you feel that big one take the line. Bob Dixon knows all the great spots - there out there
every day - and will provide you with the boat, the location,
the gear, plus all the valuable expertise and experience - not
to mention the bigger-than-life personality! Fish and fun - that's
what it's all about..............who knows maybe you'll get a
crab as well.
