Sea Kayaking Johnstone Strait - Orca Waters Base Camp 4 Day Kayak ToursEnjoy kayaking but despair pitching tents every night? Looking for a more relaxing trip than our expedition series? Our established base camp on Hanson Island allows you to spend more time kayaking, exploring, relaxing and viewing wildlife. From our central location in the heart of Johnstone Strait, you’ll paddle daily, exploring the variety of kayaking routes in the area. The orcas regularly pass by our camp; often while we’re enjoying dinner around the campfire, and the nearby waters are thick with Bald eagles, harbour seals, dolphins, porpoises, and rich inter-tidal life. As well, we have fairly consistent sightings of Steller sea lions, humpback and Minke whales – all within easily paddling distance of our camp! Our Base Camp tours add that extra bit of comfort and luxury. Tents are already set up when you arrive, there is no need to pack kayaks during the trip, and we have a covered dining area, propane heated shower, and solar powered camera re-charging station for your convenience. Compared to our Expedition Tours the camping equipment used at our base camp is upgraded to roomier 4 person tents (only 2 people per tent), thicker and wider sleeping pads, roomier barrel style sleeping bags and larger pillows. With the comforts of an established base camp, you’ll have more time for relaxing and exploring – plus, to ensure utmost utilization of your time, we make use of a water taxi for drop-off and pickup, ensuring maximum time on the water.
Sea Kayaking Johnstone Strait - Orca Waters Explorer 6 Day Kayak ToursPaddling 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.
