THE ROUTE

Discovery Islands or Desolation Sound, by private charter

The All Time Adventure is a private, full-day boat charter that can be routed to either the Discovery Islands or Desolation Sound, letting you select coastal passages, sheltered lagoons and island beaches for stops and exploration.

THE ACTIVITIES

Hikes, waterfalls, fishing and wildlife viewing

Trips regularly include shore excursions to local lakes, forest hikes and waterfalls, with opportunities to view coastal wildlife and to 'drop a line' in hopes of catching lunch on the way.

WELLNESS & RENEWAL

Mindfulness, earthing and a seaside spa bath

For guests seeking restoration the operator can incorporate earthing sessions or guided mindfulness in quiet spots; they also offer a beach spa bath (a cast-iron tub warmed with a wood fire using ocean water and seaweeds) as a thalassotherapy option on private charters, weather permitting.

What the day feels like

What the day actually feels like

Expect a flexible, boat-centered day that alternates stretches of open-water cruising with short explorations ashore: pull into a quiet lagoon for a guided mindfulness moment, hike through moss-draped forest to a waterfall, anchor off a sandy beach for lunch, or cast a line from the skiff and see if the Pacific supply will serve dinner. The schedule is organized around the group’s interests—wellness pauses, nature watching and shore access factor into how the operator crafts the day.
