The Orcas Project Wine Tasting

The Orcas Project is more than just a tasting, there's a real story behind every wine in your flight. We work with talented winemakers and vineyards across the Pacific Northwest, and each bottle features original artwork from local Orcas Island artists. So when we walk you through your flight, we're not just talking tasting notes we're talking about the vineyard it came from, the people who made it, and the artist who designed the label. It's a pretty cool combination, and there's nothing else quite like it in the region.

West Coast Wildlife Rainforest Waterfall and Beaches

Perfect for the wildlife lovers, this tour offer plenty of opportunity to see the wild creatures in their element. If you’re looking to explore Vancouver Island’s wild west coast without going to far from the city, consider visiting the South West Coast. Better than Tofino, closer to the city, family friendly and adventurer ready. Once we pick you up at 8am, it’s off to the West Coast for some invigorating hikes and coastal exploration. We will make a stop at the awe-inspiring Jurassic Grove. There, you can witness 1000-year-old Western Red Cedars, including 3.6m large trees! On our way back down, we will see 2 more beautiful beaches, suited for your group's ability. We will stop at either Mystic Beach, Sandcut Beach or Muir Creek Beach. All of them have beautiful sandstone features and you could also witness whales crossing the strait, sea lions, seals and otters cruising by the beach or basking in the sun, millions of year old fossils and waterfalls!

Outdoor Rock Climbing Beginner or Intermediate at Mt Erie

Never gone rock climbing outdoors or indoors, then this is for you! Learn the basics and after this adventurous course, you will be able to pass any gym’s belayer test. Mankind's underdeveloped climbing skills and inability to digest tin cans are two ways in which evolution left humans inferior to goats. Level the playing field, learn climbing basics, such as rope skills and belaying, during an introductory climbing course. Washington's terrain makes the state a climber's paradise and the perfect place for a rock climbing hobby and there is no better time to start than the present. We have three locations in Washington State for you to choose from, Mt. Erie in Anacortes, Little Si or Mt. Washington near Seattle, or the crags near Bellingham. There is something here for everyone, routes can be as easy as climbing a playground or for those who want to push their limits we have something in mind for you too.
