What a fabulous trip we had in Baja! Incredible scenery, wildlife, lunar eclipse, shooting stars, whales, wonderful group dynamics. But most of all Sergio and Marcos are incredible guides - soulful, joyous, compassionate, experienced, knowledgeable, and just all around really, really nice guys! We were well taken care of.Thank you to all at Tofino!

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.

This summer will be our 19th 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. We run trips during what is statistically the finest weather of the year and our route offers the very best of the scenic beauty, wildlife and archaeolgy of this great park.
In Norway we paddle the magnificent Western Fjords and north of the Arctic circle we kayak inn to inn on the Lofoten Islands. All of our summer trips feature UNESCO World Heritage Sites and all destinations have received the highest ratings from National Geographic Adventure and Traveler magazines.
Our company 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 kayaking outfitters and remains a family owned and operated company. Since 1988 we've operated inspired sea kayaking tours and courses in British Columbia, Canada and Baja California, Mexico. We now also offer 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.

I just wanted to send a note to say that the Gwaii Haanas trip was absolutely wonderful. The guides made a great team and we felt well cared for at all times. This was my first kayak expedition and I'm ready to go again! Thank you so much for organizing such fine kayaking expeditions.

We would like to thank you for an amazing trip to Gwaii Haanas. I have delayed thanking you because I truly am unable to put into words how much we enjoyed the experience. You and Chelsea are wonderful guides, and the food, well, I am still amazed at what delicious food was created by those knives and chopping boards. Thank you. We look forward to another experience with you in the future.
