Glacial action carved the steep sided fjords. These sheer walls make for numerous waterfalls and each passing weather system causes major changes to the look of the Inlet. Every trip through here is unique. During our travels you will have the opportunity to see large landscapes, waterfalls, native pictographs, glaciers, and early settlement areas. The boat operator will provide a commentary delivered on our way up Jervis Inlet, which is a highlight for a lot of passengers. There are so many interesting features in the 30 mile trip through this fjord! Don't try to pay attention to everything. Pick out what fascinates you and enjoy.

When you go ashore in the Provincial Pakr you're visiting what was once the homestead of James MacDonald. He grew to think of himself more as a caretaker than an owner. For greatest public benefit ownership was passed from Mac to the society he created, and then to the Province of British Columbia. Princess Louisa Marine Park was created.

At the entrance to Princess Louisa Inlet is Young Life's Malibu Club. Begun in the 1930's by Tom Hamilton, his "Malibu Club in Canada" was intended to be a luxury resort for movie stars. By the early 50's the project was abandoned and Young Life purchased the camp. Every year since then a summer program has been operated at this spectacular retreat.
