Lodge-based Tours

When paddling to Vargas Island, we will be combining the adventure of exploration by sea kayak with on-land adventures and the amenities of roofed accommodation. This tour is a delightful trip that you can do time and again with renewed pleasure.

Launching from our own beachfront location in Tofino, we kayak to Vargas Island via Meares Island. This trip provides an invigorating combination of paddling, old-growth forest hiking, beachcombing, feasting and relaxing, while learning about the cultural and natural history of the area. No prior experience necessary.

Prices include all kayaking gear, accommodations during the tour, and fabulous food. Prices are in Canadian dollars. Tours begin with introductory lessons.
