The Details

 

 Step on board our 21 foot rigid hull inflatable Zodiac Hurricane as we explore the beautiful waters and many marine parks of the Salish Sea. The vessel provides a platform from which our guides can share their knowledge about First Nations culture, European settlement and provide interpretation of our natural history.  
At Terracentric we are concerned about our coastal marine environment and have volunteered time in recent years to work on conservation and recreation usage issues. We have made a commitment to the Georgia Strait Alliance by donating annually a portion of our tour proceeds to their education and environmental protection work. On our tours we look forward to engaging in dialogue about matters relating to our global environment.
 
     

About our boat:


The Zodiac is a seaworthy vessel, commonly used for whale watching on the outer coast of Vancouver Island, and also by the Coast Guard. It is outfitted with radar, GPS, and VHF radio so that we may communicate back to our base station in Lund.

The 4 stroke Yamaha engine is extremely quiet and has low environmental emissions. Although it is able to travel at high speeds, our tours are characterized by frequent stops, where we may idle or drift, as we take in the sights and sounds around us.

Certified skippers provide passenger safety briefings and carry a full compliment of emergency equipment and communication devices. On our tours, each guest will be wearing what is known as a floater suit - a perfect wind breaker and a personal flotation device at the same time.

Join us for an unforgettable experience on the Salish Sea!
