Sea Kayaking - British Columbia - Canada
BC Sea Kayak & Whale Watching Tours
- A Unique Wilderness of Dramatic Contrasts - | Canada's Inside Passage is a glacier-carved waterway between the east coast of Vancouver Island and the snow-capped mountains of mainland British Columbia. Its hundreds of islands, lush rainforest, profusion of marine life and the highest density of Johnstone Strait orcas (killer whales) anywhere in the northern hemisphere, create an incredible sea kayaking environment. Summer temperatures average 70-75 degrees F, and days are often sunny. Paddling in the rugged beauty of these straits and channels, past ancient sites of native culture, is a magical experience reminiscent of an earlier time.
Although the surrounding waters are home to bald eagles, humpback whales, seals and porpoises, it is the orcas that captivate our attention by blowing, spyhopping and breaching. If the excitement of paddling with orcas isn't enough, discover the fascinating cultural history of the area. Among the intricate network of lush forested islands, explore ancient village sites and middens. Don't miss the cliff pictographs.
Sea Kayak Adventures offers kayaking and camping in the pristine orca waters of Johnstone Strait and in the remote wilderness islands of Queen Charlotte Strait. Our luxury lodge-based trips at God's Pocket Resort are designed for those who wish to experience kayaking without having to camp. All of our adventures are based near northern Vancouver Island. Our guides will spark your excitement and introduce you to this wondrous land of totems and orcas. How did you arrange for orcas to greet us on the first day and humpbacks to bid us farewell at the end? But seriously, the trip met my expectations and more".
