Get West Adventure Cruises offers passenger cruises and transportation along the remote west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Its voyages aboard the MV Uchuck III explore Nootka Sound, Esperanza Inlet and Kyuquot Sound, combining coastal scenery and wildlife viewing with a glimpse of life aboard a working maritime vessel. In service since 1955, the 136-foot wooden-hulled Uchuck III carries passengers and freight to remote communities and destinations, many without road access.

Cruise options include the Nootka Sound Day Cruise, the Friendly Cove (Yuquot) Day Cruise and overnight Kyuquot and West Coast adventures. At Friendly Cove, visitors can explore beaches and trails, see the lighthouse and historic Catholic Church and Cultural Centre, and learn about the area’s Indigenous history. The company also provides one-way fares, freight services, kayak transportation and wet launches for kayak expeditions, as well as transportation for hikers accessing the Nootka Island Trail. Get West shares cruise information, passenger reviews, photos, videos and stories through its website and onboard Nootka Sounder magazine.
