finding your way to an off-grid island paradise.......

i don't have a boat!

the trip from civilization out to an off-grid island can be and should be a major part of the adventure. if you are lacking your own yacht, or any other kind of boat you can still choose from an exilarating gorgeous boat ride, a panoramic floatplane flight on an iconic dehavilland beaver, or a breathtaking helicopter ride for an unparralleled dramatic entrance. (or exit!). you may choose to use one method for your ride in and the another for the ride home. the sky's the limit!

Campbell River is the most common starting point for most visitors but the below operators can offer you pick up at many differnt locations. you can ask us or contact any of the below directly to find your perfect trip in and out of shoal bay!
