After leaving Bamfield, we set out to explore Barkley Sound, and uncover five secret places along the way. Highlights include a secret trail across Fleming Island marked only by buoys, zig-zagging through a dangerous channel into Jaques-Jarvis Lagoon, finding the mysterious Reeks Island stone face, getting lost in a labyrinth of channels between the Pinkerton Islands, and dinghying up Lucky Creek to find miles of raging waterfalls. During this time, we seemed to be all alone in the Sound — as we didn’t see another boat for nearly two weeks.

West coast Vancouver Island looks more prehistoric than the East Island coast
Wow – what an amazing video. You have now become my favourite sailing channel. Can't wait to see more. I wanted to ask you at the 10 minute mark there is a small floating hut of some sort. Did you ever check it out?
I would say the fish are a ball of herring. I used to see them all the time as a kid when boating in Desolation Sound.
Love love love this episode!!! Such great footage and cool details about this amazing place! Plus Jim helped a beautiful hummingbird!!! ❤
My home I live in Ucluelet tyvm
Did 5 days there in kayaks in 95, only ran into a few people. Need to go back, great place.
Great video! I always bring a hummingbird feeder to the West Coast of the Island. I don't know why, but there are plenty out there. I've had four at the feeder, three or four hovering, and five or six sitting on the lifeline, all waiting their turn! Next time you're up Lucky Creek there's a steep path with ropes on the starboard side of the falls, much easier that what you did! Wow! Thanks for the video!
Nice video, but you might as well get things right – it's Berkeley Sound, same as UC Berkeley. Americans just don't pronounce it correctly.
You know the old question – if a tree falls in Berkeley Sound, does anybody hear it?
Lovley area – good videography
Lots of great experiences!
My back yard , and so much to explore .
