Wild Life
Almost all of our boutique expeditions could be called wildlife cruises – for the British Columbia and Alaska coast is rich in life. From the tiny, almost-alien worlds of the intertidal zone to giant whales and charismatic bears, there is a lot to delight in.

Culinary & Tasting Adventures
On each tour enjoy exquisite meals prepared daily with fresh ingredients by our on board chef. Delicious creations will flow from the galley as fresh baked goods emerge during coffee and tea time. Each meal is prepared with great thought and precision.

Family
With the option of either chartering the whole ship or joining other guests on a regular trip, Maple Leaf Adventures will ensure that your family receives the quality adventure you are seeking.

Sailing
With two masts and five incredible sails, the Maple Leaf is a great sight when under sail, and an even greater feeling. The ideal vessel for a sailing vacation. On a Maple Leaf sailing trip, you can assist crew hoisting the main and foresail to experience first-hand what it is like to sail a classic wooden vessel. Once the sails are set take hold of the helm and feel in your hands the power of the wind and sail as they work together to bring momentum to the ship.

First Nations Art & Culture
All throughout the coast Maple Leaf Adventures tours travel through traditional lands of Coastal First Nations. As we travel we respect and recognize the traditional territories we are in. We ensure that as we tour to significant cultural sites we have the appropriate permission to do so.
