Not very often do you see 100% 5 star reviews but in this case it’s justified.From booking to tour the staff were exceptional. Friendly efficient and knowledgeable. The tour itself hit all of the high points of Desolation Sound with worthwhile commentary along the way. Highly recommended

Wow! We had the best time doing a zodiac boat tour with Jan. We saw whales, seals, sea lions, starfish, mountains and more! We got to swim, ate an incredible meal and learned so much. We can't recommend this trip enough! It was the highlight of our trip to the Sunshine coast.

We did a one day tour with our 6 year old son and we loved our cruise. We would hands down do it again. Great service and equipment! Thank you!

Dave took us out into Desolation Sound a couple of days ago. What a treat! Loved our cruise and we would hands down do it again. Stopped at all the right spots for pictures, explained certain sights beautifully and turned around for us to see/photograph a pack of dolphins that went by. We saw a whale from afar (spray and tail) and the islands in the Sound where stunning. Prideaux Haven was one of the most beautiful sites we have seen. Save is an excellent guide.The 3.5 hours cruise was just right for us. Christine has an awesome sense of humour eventhough we just briefly spoke to her on the phone. Great customer service. Highly recommended!

Renting kayaks for our 5 day trip to Desolation Sound with Terracentric Coastal Adventures went really well. They had a larger size kayaks ready for our longer stay to accommodate rather larger food and H2O supplies , booking went smoothly and the staff was very kind. We got few tips from the educated and experienced staff for our trip as well that helped us along the journey.

Wow, folks in Powell River and qathet Region, Desolation Sounds boat tour was awesome. Must do it! I have been living here for more than 14 years, and it was the first tour with Terracentric. Our family loved it and never forget the day what we experience. We couldn't see a whale, but so many baby seals on the rocks and beautiful environments are surround us. Also, Dave and Daniella are super kind.

I've been travelling to Lund for 57 years and until recent times, never beyond "the end of the road". I had no idea of what I was missing until we toured Desolation Sound with Terracentric four years ago.Just recently, we spent another day on the water with them for an excursion to some personal places of interest in Desolation. They exceeded our expectations again. We intend to keep on exploring with Terracentric.The hosts and guides are courteous, experienced & knowledgeable.Bill Field

My group rented double kayaks from Terracentric for a tour of Desolation Sound. Christine, Daniella, and the Terracentric staff made the reservation process extremely easy with great communication. The Seaward Passat G3s we were provided were well maintained and in very good condition. Allie was very helpful at the launch point in Lund and we never had one problem with our equipment during the 5 day trip. After the trip Christine picked us up on time and shuttled us back to to Lund quickly and efficiently.Overall a 5 star experience! Thank you Terracentric for the priceless family memories! We will rent from you again!

Fantastic tour into the Desolation Sound Marine Park! Beautiful ocean and islands with scattered wildlife such as seals, sea lions and lots of fishing birds!The boat captain Simon was very personal and knowledgeable about the history and geographic of the area. He only only lead us to see the above mentioned wild life, he even stopped the boat for us to dip into the warm water to swim and snorkel! We had a great time yesterday! Thank you so much Simon! And thank you Denealla for booking us the tour!Highly recommend the tour!

Sometimes you wonder what other people say about a business you wanna frequent. And then you see crazy high ratings wonder if this is real or fixed. Terracentric has pretty much only 5 star reviews and guess what - they get another one from me.We booked a 4 hour tour when we visited Lund and the tour was spectacular. Only downside - it was just 4 hours long. Jan was our guide and he was awesome. Down to earth, friendly and knowledgeable. The area around Desolation Sound is spectacular. Jan knew lots of interesting stories snd facts.The tour could have not gone any better. If you can, ask for Jan, the great guy that moved to BC from Germany many decades ago.

Our family booked a 6 hour zodiac tour to Desolation Sound. Alas it was a cloudy, rainy, and windy day so Jan, the guide, helped shift our day to a tour of the Mitlenatch Island instead. We got to see two humpback whales on our journey there and had a nice tour via the volunteer guides on the island. I was able to see some lifers for my birding list. We had great keto lunch on the beach under the tarp that Jan set up. We didn't spend the whole 6 hours so Terracentric refunded us a portion of the fee, which is very great of them. I hope to do another adventure in the future with this great company! (Note - if it's going to be potentially rainy, bring your rain/waterproof top and pants! Terracentric provides a very cozy water resistant life jacket but not waterproof pants)

Spent the day on a Zodiac tour with Christine - exploring around Cortez Isld., and middlenatch Island. Knowledgeable and skilled guide. Professional and funny and one of the best memory making adventures we’ve been on - two teens, a child, and a mom and it was incredible for all ages:). Looking forward to our next trip!

We booked the 6hours tour to Desolation Sound. Everthing went smooth, we booked the tour via telephone. When we arrived at the office of Terracentric Coastal Adventures we had a nice welcome. Paperwork was done quickly and the tour started on time. Our Skipper David was just wonderful. He had a lot of knowledge about the Desolation Sound, the wildlife and the history of the First Nation. Also a super sense of humor and many stories to tell. He made the tour extra enjoyable.We highly recommend Terracentric Coastal Adventures.

We were so amazed with our 3.5 hour tour of Desolation Sound with Terracentric. We were lucky to have Dave as our Captain and guide. He was so helpful and knowledgeable! We saw an abundance of marine life and birds. Dave informed us of the rich history of the area from First Nation settlement and archeology to the surveying of the coastline, to the later development of Lund and neighbouring island communities. It was also really incredible to swim in the warm waters of Desolation Sound. Thanks so much to Dave and what a great opportunity to see all of the beauty of this region of BC!!!
