Calendar of Events

Monday September 06
Bioluminescence Paddle 7:30-10:30pm
From Hollyhock, we drive to Mansons Lagoon to launch our kayaks. Paddling into the setting sun we watch the stars come out. Then asthe darkness deepens we can play in the fairy dust swirling away from paddles and finger tips as the bioluminescence begins to glow. This effect is caused by a plankton which blooms in the warm summer waters.
Cost$70

Misty Isles Cruise to Refuge Cove 1:30- 6:30
This afternoon Misty Isles will leave from the Hollyhock beach and sail through the entrance of Desolation Sound, north up Lewis Channel and into picturesque Refuge Cove on West Redonda Island. Accessible only by boat or float plane, this little community is a good representation of what coastal life was like in the early 1900s. It now boasts astore and a cafe and is a popular stop over for yachters exploring Desolation Sound. For us Refuge Cove is a fun destination for our cruise through this amazing area.
