Vancouver Island
Sea kayaking
the west coast of British Columbia, Canada. Our kayak tours of Vancouver
Island offer scheduled departures in seven locations, from the Mediterranean-like
Gulf Islands, to the wilds of Johnstone Strait, where you can kayak
with Orcas, or "killer whales". Further north lie the Queen Charlotte
Islands. As the only part of Canada that escaped the last Ice Age,
kayaking the Queen Charlotte Islands brings to light a flora and
fauna dramatically different from those of the mainland.
Queen Charlotte Islands Kayaking. Remoteness, coupled with the lure of
this pristine land and aboriginal culture combine to make this archipelago
a kayaker's wilderness paradise.
Queen Charlotte Strait Kayaking. Lying off northeast tip of Vancouver
Island, this area includes Broughton Archipelago, a region noted
for its rich aboriginal habitation, fjord-like inlets, tiny islands
and Orcas.
Johnstone Strait Kayaking. The top of Johnstone Strait and the bottom
of Queen Charlotte Strait are the most popular areas for those who
want to kayak with whales. The area offers diverse opportunities
for sea kayaking including intricate and remote island archipelagos,
refuge bays and deep fjords.
Gulf Islands Kayaking. Offering warm temperatures
and short distances between the islands, and a close proximity to
Victoria and Vancouver, the Gulf Islands are a unique archipelago
of 250 islands situated on the south east coast of Vancouver Island.
Nootka
Sound Kayaking. One of the most remote and rugged areas to kayak
on the west coast of Canada, this area features deep wilderness
of the northwest coast: its remote beaches, dense rainforests and
the lingering presence of aboriginal culture.
Clayoquot
Sound Kayaking. Located on the southwest coast of Vancouver
Island, in the Pacific Rim region, this rugged stretch of coastline
is known for fjords, islands, mountains, old growth forests and
the colourful town of Tofino.
Broken
Group Island Kayaking. Facing the Pacific Ocean, on the southwest
coast of Vancouver Island, the islands are a maze of pocket beaches,
exposed reefs, lagoons, densely forested islands and bare, windswept
rocks.
Victoria
and South Island Kayaking. Great kayak opportunities abound
near BC's "Garden City" on the southeast tip of Vancouver Island.
We provide kayak tours of the Inner Harbour, and the waters surrounding
Discovery Island Marine Park.
