Trip Description

 

Adventure to Mount Albert – A Hidden Gem of BC’s Coast

 

Ready for an unforgettable summer adventure? Join us as we journey to Mount Albert, a spectacular 2,552meter glaciated summit that towers over the stunning Princess Louisa Inlet on BC’s Sunshine Coast.  From breathtaking ocean inlets to alpine glacier views, this 4day trip blends the beauty of coastal waters with the thrill of reaching an iconic summit — and this is your chance to experience it with an adventurous group.

 

 

Trip Itinerary

 

Day 1 – Drive to Egmont, hop on a scenic 3hour water taxi through the fjord, and arrive at MacDonald Island Park in Princess Louisa Inlet. Set up camp and take in the incredible views.

 

Day 2 – Trek through pristine wilderness to base camp just below the glacier.

 

Day 3Summit Day! Climb Mount Albert via glacier or ridge route, then return to base camp.

 

Day 4 – Pack up camp and enjoy the return water taxi through the inlet back to Egmont.

 

 

Trip Highlights

 

  • Incredible scenery – Coastal waters, alpine ridges, and sweeping glacier views.
  • Unique route – Glacier travel or ridge scramble, depending on group preference.
  • Manageable challenge – Total distance ~26 km split across 4 days, with the ascent starting right from sea level.
  • Small group vibe – The more people who join, the more affordable it gets.

 

 Getting There

 

  • Ferry from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale, drive ~1.5 hrs to Egmont.
  • Water taxi: 3 hrs each way ($855 each way split among the group).

 

 Cost

 

Water taxi cost drops the more people sign up — so bring a friend! A down payment will be collected to confirm your spot.

 

 This is not just another weekend hike — it’s a chance to explore one of BC’s most breathtaking, rarely visited peaks with great company. If you’ve been craving a trip that’s part wilderness expedition, part coastal escape… this is it.
