CANADA SEA KAYAKING TOURS
Sea kayaking tours on the west coast of Canada are some of the best
in the world. With archipelagoes of countless islands and hundreds of
miles of beaches and bays backed by fjord-cut mountains, the British
Columbia coast is perfectly suited to the sport of sea kayaking. In the
temperate rainforest that blankets the coast there are some of North
America’s best remaining wildlife refuges. Against this backdrop of
mountains and forests several indigenous cultures flourished, supported
by the bounty of the sea. To tour these waters in a sea kayak is to come
close to the experience the indigenous people had, as they traveled this
coast in their legendary cedar canoes.
Our kayaking itineraries are chosen for their quality of authentic wilderness
and after twenty years of running trips in virtually all of the popular kayak destinations on the British Columbia coast we now only offer trips in Gwaii
Haanas National Park on the Queen Charlotte Islands. Gwaai Haanas (Place
of Wonder in Haida) was rated the Best Park Destination in North America
by a panel of over 300 park administrators and academics. The park is
jointly managed with great integrity by Parks Canada and the Council of
Haida Nations. They have established policies and set firm limits on use
levels that prevent crowding, campsite overuse and impacts on wildlife
while protecting the high quality of visitor experience.
Come experience the silent power of standing totem poles, the richest inter-
tidal life in the world and the incomparable blend of landscape, cultural history and wildlife that make Gwaii Haanas National Park truly a place of wonder.
