bc canada coast mystery hike
"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks." - John Muir

Wilder West Coast


A remote coastal hike with unspoiled beaches, few hikers, an interesting history, and a fabulous assortment of mammal, bird and marine wildlife.

A spirit of adventure is mandatory as its location means that we will be on our own for the most part. We will take a float plane and/or water taxi to our access point, a stretch of sandy beach. Along the way, we will visit the remote lighthouse at Estevan Point. The lighthouse is storied to have been fired upon by a Japanese submarine during WWII. There are plenty of sandy beaches, marine wildlife sightings, waterfalls, creeks, and rainforest to satisfy everyone. Our hike concludes at an unique oasis known as Cougar Annie's Garden. It's beautiful garden is a monument to the spirit of Ada Annie Rae-Arthur and her many years of carving an existence from a challenging environment.

This stretch of British Columbia coast is not so well known. It's nice to have a place where we can go and still be alone. This trek, on Vancouver Island's rugged west coast, promises and delivers a great wilderness experience.
