Sea Kayaking Johnstone Strait - Orca Waters Explorer
Sea kayaking in the rich waters of Johnstone Strait is an experience to remember. This nomadic tour has everything; it starts in the protected waters of the Broughton Archipelago, where you’ll explore the many hidden waterways and discover ancient village sites where the Kwakwaka’wakw First Nations culture thrived.
Onward to Johnstone Strait proper, where we’ll spend our time here traveling the main channels of Blackfish Sound and Johnstone Strait. These waters are the most consistent for wildlife, and as we paddle we’ll keep our eyes on the horizon for the blows from orca, humpback, or Minke whales. With approximately 200 Orca Residents in the area, our chances of spotting them are excellent.
But there is much more to this area; from the snow-capped peaks of the coastal mountains, to the verdant rolling hills of Vancouver Island, bears strolling the shoreline, eagles fishing in front of our campsite, a campfire at dusk – these are the beautiful subtleties of the area. This is our classic tour, and its’ popularity speaks for itself.
If you are considering visiting before our Orca Waters Explorer tours are scheduled you may want to consider our similar 6 day Broughton Archipelago kayak tour in early June.
