Sidney Spit Tour

Birds of a Feather’s Zodiac Medline III based in Victoria is available for private charter transport (water taxi) to and from Sidney Spit. We are also available for marine eco-tour charters, or simply boating the west coast.

 Coast Salish Legend:

The story goes that "Mutcha" was a giant mink transformed by the spirit God Swaneset, because of its uncontrollable greed. The long sand spit is Mutcha’s tail, while the beaches are its belly and back.

Aerial view Sidney Spit

Sidney Spit is located within the 400-hectare Sidney Island Marine Park. The long sandy spit and adjacent lagoon, forests and open grasslands offer a surprising variety of wildlife and are some of the most important shorebird habitat near southern Vancouver Island.

The whales were awesome

What a great place to stay. Dieter gave us a wonderful trip through the islands and the whales were awesome. We really enjoyed our day trip on the ocean. Thanks Dieter. Annette the breakfasts were great. Thank you both for a great stay.
