Overview
Highlights
- Enjoy with wildlife-watching, we kayak in the heart of orca territory in Johnstone Strait.
- Our basecamp location provides opportunity for hiking, tide-pooling, and learning about the natural history of the area.
- Admire an entire ecosystem including starfish, anemones, porpoises, eagles, and sea birds.
- All tours are fully-catered (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and happy hour) with gourmet meals prepared daily by our guides—from scratch. Each day, you enjoy scrumptious meals before laying your head on a pillow merely meters from passing orcas.
- This trip is ideal for families with older teens, novice to intermediate kayakers craving adventure, and whale lovers who want to experience up-close encounters with orcas! Guides bring hydrophones on all tours so you can hear the orcas communicating underwater while watching them interact.
- This trip is focused on observation and respect for the orca habitat, as we maintain our "Leave-No-Trace" ethics. All of our basecamps remain eco-friendly with temporary structures, allowing guests to enjoy the whales without harming their habitat.
