Each year our guests comment on the way a few hours of kayaking help them feel a connection with this environment. Weaving through the islands, pulled by tidal currents and propelled by your paddling, you gain a strong sense of accomplishment and an elemental connection to place.
No experience required.
Our day trips are designed to accommodate a variety of skill levels, so it doesn't even matter if you've never been in a kayak before. Each trip begins with an overview of the basic skills. We use a combination of single and double kayaks and your guide will help select the right boat for you.
Whether you paddle for a couple of hours or a full day outing, your time on the water will be memorable. For many of our guests it is the highlight of their trip to the West Coast. For others, it is the start of something new -- a lifetime love of sea kayaking.
All prices are in Canadian dollars.
| Harbour Islands/ Clayoquot Island Tours | $59 | 2.5 hours | This short tour is an ideal introduction to sea kayaking. After brief instruction and getting comfortable in the boat we launch into a delightful exploration of the islands that surround the Tofino Harbour. |
| Meares Island and the Big Tree Trail or Meares Creek Estuary |
$74 | 4 hours | Crossing the Tofino Harbour we island-hop the intertidal shorelines and cruise the shallow eelgrass flats for outstanding bird-watching opportunities. You'll enjoy a short stroll on Meares Island and feel awed by the power and beauty of this majestic ancient forest. |
| Lemmens Inlet or Vargas Shorelines |
$102 | 6 hours | Depending on the tides, we head into Lemmens Inlet on Meares Island or cross Father Charles Channel to Vargas Island shorelines. In either direction, there are myriad opportunities to observe eagles, waterfowl, marine mammals and intertidal life. This is a very satisfying 'get-away' tour. |
| A Day in the Sound | $135 | 9am - 5pm | Our guides will share the things they most like to do when they go out for the day - some fishing, photography, birdwatching, exploring a stream or practising paddling strokes. The group will set the itinerary with the help of our very knowledgable guides, and you'll have a day mixed with fun, relaxation, learning and adventure. Lunch is included. |
| Family Outings | Small children are tremendously excited by the outdoors and with kayaking they have need for much personalized attention. For this reason we offer outings for children ages 6 - 11, accompanied by adults. The paddle will be paced according to the needs of the children and will include sufficient breaks to ensure their comfort and enjoyment. Tours are 2.5, 4 and 6 hours with custom links available , which includes instruction time. Prices vary with group size and length of tour. |
Paddling into Clayoquot Sound offers the finest opportunities for marine exploration in the Pacific Northwest.
