Kayaking & Canoeing
Family kayaking (Dave Heath photo)
Kayakers are roaming the seas from the Galapagos Islands to Norwegian Fiords, to Vietnam's Halong Bay, but there's no beating the kayaking experience of Tofino and Clayoquot Sound.
Part of its wonder is that it ties in to other wilderness experiences such as visits to Hot Springs Cove, whale watching, camping, fishing, beachcombing, bird-watching and photography.
First Nations Cultural Tours by Kayak
Kayaking brings undulating coastlines rife with discovery, misted bays, secret coves, whales, wildlife and First Nations cultural touring.
Today's ocean kayaker has a sense of exploration and discovery in common with the historic Aboriginal paddlers navigating these timeless waterways in cedar dugouts.

Family Kayaking Trips
Family kayaking trips of 2.5, 4 and 6 hours accommodate children aged 6 to 11 accompanied by adults. The emphasis is on personal attention and paddling is paced to suit the needs of kids.
Paddling in the Wild
The company's 6-day Coastal Touring in the Wild tour is an ultimate, hands-on learning adventure. It teaches kayakers the skills needed to travel independently. It instills the confidence to deal with changing weather and sea conditions.
Beaches & Island Kayak Tour
Wilderness camping tours run 4 to 6 days. The 6-day, Beaches & Islands tour is a collage of surf-swept beaches, wind-sculpted dunes, rocky pinnacles and rainforests. Paddlers skirt the swells, search out grey whales feeding in the sound, photograph sea lions and seabirds and still find time for beachcombing.
