Most people simply travel through Bella Bella, making their way into the Canadian wild in search of wildlife and that sense of the undiscovered. From here you can access Eucott Bay Hot Springs, popular with boaters – great at the end of a coastal expedition. The first, or last, stop tends to be the Fjordland Conservancy, a 91,000 hectare area of complex coastline of inlets, bays, fjords and islands. Waterfalls dot sheer granite walls and mountains are covered in thick sitka spruce.  

The Island Roamer starts and finishes its expeditions here, depending on which way you want to go, as does the luxurious Pacific Yellowfin. This classic 1943 wooden yacht travels the coast in search of wildlife, such as the vanilla-white spirit bears, huge grizzlies, otters, wolves or deer, in a land where the Pacific Ocean sculpts the landscape.
