We had our first adventure with Marine Link in 2022. It was so unique and memorable that we brought our son and grandson along this year on the second route. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience of a small group of fellow travellers and thoughtful engaging knowledgeable staff. Would be enjoyable still even without the gourmet meals. We will be back with more of our family!

July 2 to 7 2024 Twelve strangers arrived at the departure point and returned as friends. Spectacular trip phenomenal service and fabulous food. You need to be able to climb steep stairs. No elevators. There are no mobility aids. Being able to walk is a necessity. Stunning scenery and tranquility, the Aurora is very quiet and stable. Hardly feels like being aboard a boat.

The most wonderful experience. 6 days of absolute bliss. Captain Ron & his crew were amazing & treated us royally & were so knowledgeable. Can’t say enough about the crew. Enjoyed them all. Always great interaction with all of us. Nothing was missed. The meals were exquisite. Thanks Janet. I am still in awe of all that you & Paige prepared & served. We saw humpbacks, orcas, dolphins. Swam at 3 beaches & had amazing beautiful clear, sunny hot days. A spectacular mtn around every corner with even a glimpse of Mt Waddington. So missing everyone & soooo much fun. Jan & Bill B. Ps…we did gain weight but so worth it.

We could not have been happier on our 5 day cruise. All the crew were very friendly and helpful. We were able to explore remote areas you could never get to on a big cruise ship. The meals were incredible and the cookies were far too tempting. This is the perfect tour for anyone who is interested in nature and several days of relaxation and pampering. The co-ordinates to their debarkation area in Menzies Bay for a GPS or map program are: 50.11976 N, 125.38659 W (Decimal), --or-- 50° 7' 11.14" N 125° 23' 11.72" W (Degrees, Minutes, Seconds )

Fabulous trip... age range 60-85, mostly but not all couples. Fabulous food, engaged and engaging crew. Saw places I would never see on ferry, learnt a lot about BC Coast, its communities and logging industry - great adventure.
