Broughton Archipelago to Johnstone Strait.... This is your opportunity to combine sea kayak in the realm of the Killer Whale, with kayaking amongst the beautiful islands of the Broughton Archipelago, home to some of the richest cultural history on the coast. This is a point to point tour, which means no back tracking. This 5 day tour takes us through one of the most incredible sea kayaking environments in the British Columbia.

There's no better way to encounter pods of these friendly (and inappropriately named) killer whales than up close and personal, while paddling your own sea kayak. Also sharing this diverse habitat are playful dolphins, sea lions, harbour seals, minke whales, eagles and black bears.

Our journey by water begins from the small sea side community of Telegraph Cover, where we will travel by water taxi out to the historical native village of Mamililaculla on Village Island. Keep an eye out for killer whales en-route

At the end of the tour we will be picked up at the "Spirit of the West Base camp" in Johnstone Strait.

Before setting off on the kayak tour we will learn about the Kwakwaka'wakw nation from Tom Sewid. Tom has away of bringing this area to life through sharing his stories and legends of the Kwakuitl people.

Once on Village Island we will plan our expedition, which will take us through the Broughton Archipelago and into the wildlife rich waters of Johnstone Strait.

There are no two tours alike. We will plan our day based on the weather, current and tides, and the groups desires.

What makes this one of the best sea kayaking destination on Vancouver Island? We say....... "Lots of small islands, passageways, protected water, wildlife, and a sense of remoteness" The Broughtons' have all this and more. There is no question that this is one of the BC's top kayaking destinations.

Johnstone Strait is quite simply the best place on earth to see the Killer Whales, also known as Orca, in the wild. Most of B.C.’s 300 Orca whales return to these waters to feed, sleep, play, and rub their bodies on the pebble beaches of world famous Robson Bight. The star attraction on this expedition is the Killer Whale.

Getting a chance to paddle in their habitat is a thrill of a life time. Our hike up to visit the whale reseachers at "eagle eye" will give us a birds eye view over the Strait, and further our knowledge of the whales.

Enter the acoustic world of the Orcas. We will travel with an underwater hydrophone. When we are in range of the Orcas, we will be able to listen to their eerily beautiful calls and echo locating clicks from our deck mounted speakers.

Interested in learning the calls? you can purchase a CD with calls from all the Northern resident pods. for more info email or call 1-800-307-3982

This is a true expedition style trip, which means we will move from camp to camp. If we find the perfect location to base out of, we may decide to stay an additional night.
