We Go Where The Whales Are!

Depart from Historic Steveston

A picturesque West Coast fishing village featuring spectacular views and a lively collection of unique shops, galleries and restaurants. Enjoy the famous fish & chips or an ice cream while taking a stroll through Storybrooke Maine, (aka Steveston, BC) home of ABC’s hit show Once Upon a Time.
