ATLAS Ocean Tours

Atlas Ocean Tours
Atlas Ocean Tours has a mighty powerful name for a company that is the smallest QuirkyCruise ship operator we have covered thus far. One-week trips explore the southern part of Haida Gwaii (formerly Queen Charlotte Islands) in a patch of Canadian wilderness about 100 miles off the mainland of British Columbia.
The region has recently become a UNESCO World Heritage site known as Gwaii Haanas , a move which spares the wilderness here from logging and vandalism.
Explore the beauty of an old-growth forest, ancient Haida Village culture and wildlife on land, sea and in the air. Cruises operate one-way, so there is no backtracking, between Queen Charlotte Village and Rose Harbour. A seaplane flight returns to your originating point.
Sail the Inside Passage on a biggie that carries more passengers and crew than the population of the ports themselves, OR … choose a maximum of a mini-ship carrying just six paying passengers — that’s six more than a ghost town!
Getting to the Atlas can be a trick. Flights originate in Vancouver, B.C. and Prince Rupert B.C. to Haida Gwaii (formerly Queen Charlotte Island), and BC Ferries operates between Prince Rupert and the island carrying cars and passengers. Local island transport is by taxi, and the cruise company provides connections from where you are staying to and from the boat.
An overnight pre- and post-cruise hotel stay on the island is required, in case of air delays. It may seem complicated if you do not know the local geography, but then you are booking a trip in a relatively remote island area of British Columbia. The Atlas Ocean Tours office can assist.
MV Atlas (built TK & 6 passengers) — British Columbia
Atlas Ocean Tours Passenger Profile
Mostly Canadians. Agility helps to board the skiff and kayaks, expanding your horizons on trips off the MV Atlas .
![ATLAS Ocean Tours 1 Atlas Ocean Tours](https://quirkycruise.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/2-atlas-at-anchor3.jpg)
The charming little Atlas.
$$ Expensive; the MV Atlas is a great option for full-boat charters for family and friend groups.
Included Features
- All meals & snacks
- Use of kayaks
- Seaplane flight to or from the vessel
Atlas Ocean Tours Itineraries
7-night cruises operate on a one-way basis between mid-May and mid-September. A seaplane flight, included in the fare, operates in the opposite or return direction. The scenic overview from the air is an integral part of the cruise.

Sample Itinerary
Operating between Queen Charlotte Village and Rose Harbour, the voyage makes stops at very remote places, including K ’uuna Llnagaay (Skedans) and T’aanuu Llnagaay (Tanu), sailing through Echo Harbour and Hlk’yah GaawGa (Windy Bay) to G andll K’in Gwaayaay (Hotspring Island) and Bischof Islands, to Yatza Mountain overlooking Island Bay, and through the Burnaby Narrows to S G ang Gwaay Llnagaay, Gordon Islands, Cape St. James and Kerouard Islands.
The British Columbia island area explored on these cruises is virtually inaccessible without a boat and that adds to the sense of remoteness from the outside world, while you take in the natural surroundings and the local Haida culture from the cruise vessel, skiff, kayaks, on foot and in the air.

When to Go?
Cruises operate between mid-May and mid-September, and the season usually sells out. First to go are the dates in the height of the summer, and the line’s website shows up-to-date availability. The early season dates will have cooler weather and lingering snow on the highest elevations.
Atlas Ocean Tours Activities & Entertainment
There is kayaking, complete with safety gear. If you are planning to fish, a recreational saltwater license is required, and all the fishing gear is then provided. A skiff takes all passengers ashore, and on exploratory coastal trips and outings to seek wildlife on the shore and marine life at sea.
Sightings on land and sea will likely include bears, eagles, humpback whales, orcas, dolphins and sea lions. A Portuguese bridge allows access to the covered side decks and the bow. The pilothouse is also open to passengers for a chat or to learn about navigation and local sights.

Atlas Ocean Tours Dining
Everybody aboard helps prepare the meals, and the passengers serve as sous chefs and do the washing up (and sometimes even help catch dinner!). Fresh vegetables, fruits and baked goods are brought aboard at the outset. The fish and prawns are freshly caught.
![ATLAS Ocean Tours 5 fishing off the Atlas](https://quirkycruise.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/0web2000px-685x1024.jpeg)
Fishing is part of the fun! * Photo: Atlas Ocean Tours
A rugged pilothouse trawler with three decks (and no elevator!), Atlas is pretty throughout.
The interiors are paneled in mahogany with the big-window salon serving as a lounge and dining area. A selection of books includes guides to the birds, animals, plants and Haida culture, plus simply good reads.

Dinner! * Photo: Jason Shafto
There’s also plenty of deck space (both open-air and canopied). The two cabins have three bunks and they share a recently renovated head — washroom and stall shower.

Special Notes
If unfamiliar with the geography, the company website and the booking agent will help you get there and back. Cruises sell out quickly!

Atlas Ocean Tours Review
A truly small ship cruise.
Atlas Ocean Tours was founded by Captain James Nickerson, born and raised in Queen Charlotte, British Columbia. He grew up in a fishing family that provided passage for some of the first visitors to Gwaii Haanas after it was established as a National Park Reserve in the 1980s. For over a decade, he led tours in the Gwaii Haanas archipelago and worked for multiple operators through the years.
Based on the knowledge he learned from those experiences, he, along with his wife, built their own business. Their boat the Atlas was designed by renowned naval architect Arthur Defever for both comfort and style, and is the sole vessel in the family-run operation – built specifically for Haida Gwaii.
Ships: 1 – MV Atlas
How Many Passengers : 6 passengers
Personality : The Atlas is a pilothouse trawler, which is a form of yacht. The onboard atmosphere is incredibly intimate because there are only six guests and the crew, and there are large windows onboard for viewing the scenery and wildlife.
Fellow Passengers : Guests of all ages are welcome, including kids who receive discounted fare.
Cabins : There are two cabins on the boat, which feature mahogany wood interiors both in the sleeping area and bathroom. The cabins are comfortable and are decorated simply, but tastefully.
Dining : The boat has a large salon area for dining, and the galley is full-equipped for beautiful, fresh dishes. Fresh bakery items made by Captain James’ mom are delivered to the boat at the beginning of each journey, and there are fresh vegetables and meats for a variety of dishes. Guests with fishing licenses are also welcome to share what they catch, which can include fish, crabs, prawns, and more. Since the trips are such small groups, everyone tends to pitch in, so guests will usually help the crew prepare each meal.
Amenities : The boat has a swim grid, an onboard library, kayaks for tours, and fishing equipment. The aft and side decks are also open but covered – perfect for many types of weather. The focal point of Atlas Ocean Tours is the nature and land adventures, so you won’t find a lot offered onboard the small boat.
Best For : Any small group that wants a cruising adventure all to themselves and those who are seeking a personal experience.
Included Alcohol : Wine, and guests are also welcome to bring their own favorite wine, beer, or spirits.
Where They Go : The Haida Gwaii archipelago in British Columbia, Canada.
