Tell them not to plan it for longer than a weekend :-)... There is about 17
km
from Deep Cove rental shop (the best launch site, no gates to close at 10
pm like at Barnett park), and up to Granite Falls at the end of the fiord.
On weekends it feels like on some highway there, with all those power boats
going in the same direction or coming back.   I wonder about air
quality in Indian Arm in such a smog-potential weather like now, compared to
nearby Vancouver areas (Burnaby etc), with usual afternoon *in*flow wind
blowing from Burnaby into the Arm.  There are no cars or factories on
surrounding mountains, but not much ventilation either. Except for natural
filtering by forest.
