From Egmont you can pilot your own jet ski into the narrow arms and wide bays of Jervis Inlet, slipping past islands and approaching long, free‑standing falls before returning ashore for a lodge brunch—an outing that pairs raw, cold‑water speed with an intimate West Coast meal.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

Inlets, Islands and Frail Falls

Ride out from Egmont to Hotham Sound and the sheltered channels around Harmony Islands, with the chance to visit Frail Falls—the longest free‑standing waterfall along the corridor from Egmont to Alaska.

THE VIEW

Vancouver Bay, the Salmon Run and Mt. Churchill

Cruise toward Vancouver Bay to witness the Salmon Run and broad views of Mt. Churchill, the high peak in Jervis Inlet rising to 6,459 feet—a dramatic alpine backdrop to the inlet scenery.

THE MEAL

Brunch at West Coast Wilderness Lodge

Finish onshore at the Inlet's restaurant next door to the lodge for a sit‑down brunch; the meal is part of the rental package and provides a warm, local counterpoint to the morning on the water.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

The trip is a self‑driven blend of raw, open‑water acceleration and quiet exploration: you leave Egmont under your own throttle, weave through island channels, approach waterfalls and salmon runs at a human scale, then return to shore to trade wet layers for a leisurely lodge brunch.
