I’ve just returned from a wonderful mid-winter break paddling in Baja. It was every bit as much fun as last year. The guides were great. They were competent, treated us well, fixed us divine food and provided us with a most memorable time. Somehow or another they even provided us with Blue whale sightings on our last day. Now that was a thrill.

Our very successful  21st season of Baja sea kayaking tours and trips is wrapping up with many happy and tanned guests heading home to enjoy spring (2009 Baja dates). Now summer paddling destinations beckon in the north.  This summer will be our 18th season guiding sea kayaking tours and trips in Gwaii Haanas National Park on Canada’s Queen Charlotte Islands.  Over the years we’ve offered a range of itineraries and have refined them based on guest feedback and satisfaction.  Our route offers what we feel, is the very best of the scenic beauty, biodiversity and mystery of this great park.  In Norway we paddle the Western Fjords and north of the Arctic circle we kayak inn to inn on the Lofoten Islands.  All three of our summer trips feature UNESCO World Heritage Sites and all three destinations have received the highest ratings from National Geographic Adventure and Traveler magazines.

Tofino Expeditions was founded as a single fleet kayak tour company in the small fishing town of Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island, Canada. It has grown into one of the most respected international sea kayak outfitters and remains a family owned and operated company. For over 20 years we've operated inspired sea kayaking tours and trips in British Columbia, Canada and Baja California, Mexico. In more recent years we have added international sea kayak adventures in Norway, Vietnam, the Galapagos Islands and Croatia's Dalmation Coast.

All of our journeys are crafted to feature the very best of each destination and provide a unique perspective on both place and culture. We are passionate about serving utterly delicious meals prepared with the very best ingredients available with an emphasis on organic foods. Our trips include a range of optional activities and experiences. We guarantee that you will return from a vacation with us relaxed and rejuvenated.
