This trip is a journey through the entire length of the Broughton Marine Park and it's Archipelago. Days are long and rewarding; trip features a sense of exploration. Wildlife rookeries, hidden passages and remote beaches are all visited on these trips through the entire length of the Park. You will experience the sounds of whales from your tent site. Summer days end with a colorful sunset that lasts for over an hour.
