Management Area: 
Lakelse Douglas Channel
Application Type: 
Summary of Proposed Activity: 
Wildlife and nature viewing along with soaking in natural hot springs in various parks along the Douglas Channel and Gardner Canal. All locations are marine based and will be accessed with a boat. Northern BC Jet Boat Tours is a new and small tourism operator in Northwest BC focusing on high quality and low impact eco tours. We are applying for a variety of park permits to access marine accessible only parks, with a 22 ft Jet Boat. We are hoping to provide (two) 3 day trips that venture as far as Kitlope Lake. These tours would have small group sizes of up to 4 guests and would visit many of the proposed parks enroute. We are also hoping to provide a a couple of Northcoast Hot Springs tour where we visit one or two hot springs each day over multiple days. The remaining tours would be day trips for guests who would like to experience the wilderness and beauty of BC's North Coast in a safe and responsible manner. We do not expect to spend more than a few hours at a time in each of the parks during a day trip as we will focus on other areas as well.
