Without a doubt, one of the most amazing things to see at San Josef Bay is the stunning beach and the unique sea stacks. These are ocean-eroded sea stacks that have developed over time from water surging through the sandy passages at high tide slowly eroding the softer rock, leaving behind only the harder formations. Our small & intimate group sizes make exploring the beach and sea stacks fun and informative. Our knowledgeable guides will lead guests to the areas of interest and provide interpretation and tidal pool walks.
The area is loaded with local history and is on the traditional lands of the Tlatlasikwala First Nations. There were also attempts of a Danish settlement from 1887 to 1910 that were unsuccessful due to the remote and harsh climate. Your tour guides will have information on local flora, fauna, and history.
Your adventure base will be Alder Bay RV Park & Marina where you'll stay in one of our unique and cozy 500 sq ft fully self contained Park Model cottages. The cottages feature full kitchens, bathroom & shower and a spectacular ocean views of Johnstone Strait.
