In addition to working closely with various governing bodies – federal, provincial, and First Nations – who manage parks and protected areas along the coast of British Columbia and Alaska, we have signed sustainability/ protocol agreements with coastal First Nations to support their economic development and stewardship.

We continue to offer trips of the highest quality, while maintaining the Bluewater vision, and we’d like to ensure that our guests understand how their fares contribute to these efforts. Bluewater Adventures collects $200 from each guest to contribute to increased conservation and research, First Nations environmental monitoring and stewardship, and engaging with the government on development issues. Our guests can share in the pride, knowing that travelling with Bluewater Adventures contributes directly to the sustainability of the coast.
