well I have been here 17 years now and still never got out there.. so...

just remembered something, the inner harbor they have the Harbor ferry tours.. something like 15 bucks for about 40 min to an hour tour from the water.. walking around the Victoria harbor is cool but it is absolutely nothing compared to seeing it from the water.

Thanks Dave & Steve, much appreciated information.

I am looking at staying at Seascape Waterfront Resort on Quadra island, they have studios with full kitchens for $130 a night and the 7th night is free. Plus they have canoe and kayak rentals for free. My better half also have a cousin living in Campbell River we should visit.

If anyone knows of any nice cabins elswhere to stay at, please let me know. Probably someplace more south, victoria/nanaimo area to use as a base to explore the south.

Rory, Check out the artists and potters on quadra . There is one studio ,forget the name for the moment (south end) that has a beautiful garden with a resident artist and potter ,very nice work.Heriot House (?) used to be a great place to eat ,havent been for a while. Used to stay at Tza Kwaluten lodge on the reserve , lovely building overlooking the passage .
Cape Mudge museum is interesting and of course Rebecca Spit. As you are up in that area think of a visit to Denman and Hornby . Terrific park on Hornby ,Helliwell park. Lots of eagles etc.Gabriola just off Nanaimo has a bountiful market on Saturdays .
I will try to think of cabins to the south. There is Tigh Na Mara in Parksville and Rosebank cottages in Mill bay on the ocean........
Dave
