Between Woods and Whales
Between Woods and Whales is an ECO off the grid holiday resort, situated on the Balaklva Island between Vancouver Island and the West coast of Canada. Our main activity is diving in the world famous Browning Pass at different diving spots like Hunt Rock, North Wall, Seven Trees Island and more. You can also join us for whale watching, a kayaking holiday or for a relax holiday without the stress of never ending distracting external stimuli.
The world famous Browning Wall. This underwater rockface stretches out in rainbows of colour created by invertebrates such as sponges, soft corals, giant acorn barnacles, white metridium, et cetera. There are expanses of wall that are predominately pink or white or beige and sections that are a true representation of nature’s entire palette. Amongst this spectacular backdrop reside many more mobile animals: crabs of every shape and size, including the behemoth Puget Sound King Crab; octos; grunt sculpins; the photogenic decorated warbonnet; camouflaged Red Irish Lord; various nudibranchs, from the opalescent to the orange peel; and numerous sculpins.
