Near the northern tip of the Sechelt Peninsula this park provides the visitor with four km of trails to view the world famous tidal activity. "Skookumchuck" is a Chinook word meaning strong waters. OR: A scenic 60 minute horse ride at the Malaspina Ranch, hosted by Andy and Luke, two real cowboys who take great care of both horse and rider. You will feel as though you have stepped back in time while you enjoy the camaraderie of these majestic animals and the beauty that surrounds you.

Princess Louisa Inlet Tour (half day) travel up Jervis Inlet to Princess Louisa Inlet. A well-appointed passenger vessel covers the 30 miles smoothly while a guide provides informed commentary. There are many interesting features and occurrences in this glacial fjord. The area around Chatterbox Falls was once the private property of James MacDonald, who donated it to the Princess Louisa International Society. The intention was to preserve it for the enjoyment of all. For greater public benefit, ownership passed to the Province of British Columbia and Princess Louisa Marine Park was created. OR: Sakinaw Lake pontoon trip: a picturesque lounge boat tour on Sakinaw Lake, where lake meets ocean. Learn interesting history which includes the natural ecology and First Nations pictographs (cliff paintings). This three hour relaxing leisurely tour on a 22-foot pontoon boat includes a 40 minute hike out to the rugged beauty of the bay where the lake empties into the mouth of the Agamemnon Channel. Sakinaw Lake is the warmest lake in BC with an average summer temperature of 80 degrees, so bring your swim suit. (Snack Packs provided by Rockwater)

| Dear Karen, It is a challenge to put into simple statements the aura of your resort. The executive staff should be commended on the genuinely sincere and upbeat service demonstrated by all of the staff that we encountered. The kayak staff, though a different company, reflects that same quality of service. Bob and I get a lot of massages as we travel and we both totally enjoyed our therapists, Laurel and Cheryl. And of course at the top of the list is you...had we not talked to you on the phone we wouldn't have made a decision to come to Rockwater. Our trip back to Victoria via float plane was great. We flew over Active Pass and Mayne Island, and the pilot spotted a pod of Orca, so he actually turned around and flew over them again so all five passengers could get another look. We thought it was a very fitting finish to our trip! |
