This trip is worth every penny and every thought you ever had of doing "something different".......probably not for mountain climbers but if you want to watch our spectacular B.C. go by with vistas you have never seen or imagined before, this is the way, and the people you share with both crew and other passengers. Just amazing.

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 )

We just returned from our 5 day tour of the Broughton Archipelago. Stunning scenery, incredible food, and fabulous small cruise experience. Such a relaxing atmosphere, with the opportunity for up close experiences like actual landings on remote sites on the coast. You sure don’t get opportunities like this on big cruise ships. This was our 2nd trip on the Aurora Explorer,looking forward to another in the future. We highly recommend Marine Link Tours!
