Maple Leaf Adventures is a boutique expedition company. We practice ecotourism and provide spectacular week-long odysseys by yacht throughout the coastal rainforest, from Victoria to Haida Gwaii. Exploring beyond, our trips ashore provide special access to view wildlife, walk wild landscapes, experience culture and enjoy the beauty of the coastline — while providing the excitement of an adventure by boat. Smell the sweet coniferous forests, taste freshly caught prawns and huckleberries, and view our majestic whales and bears as a guest of local experts and naturalists. Our mission is to give you the best of the coast, while protecting our environment and communities. We invite you aboard for a true West Coast adventure.
