Easy

Walks taken during the kayak tour may be on uneven terrain but all paths are generally clearly marked.

Moderate

Only basic skills are required, and a “naturally fit and healthy” or sporadic exerciser, with no health complications, should be able to handle this fitness level. Previous kayak experience is recommended for those taking the Queen Charlotte Islands Kayak Trip as there are some open ocean paddling and surf landings. On the Rockies Wildlife Tour, there is a variation between flat terrain and some longer steep slopes. Experience with carrying a light backpack for up to six hours useful, but we will not be attempting anything technical.

This package includes airfare to and from Vancouver, BC, pre and post trip accommodation in the Queen Charlotte Islands, all kayak gear, and water taxi or float plane services to and from the kayak put-in point. Some kayak experience is preferred. More…
