Tell Me More!
Q: Do I need previous kayaking experience?
A: No, many novices join this trip. Basic instruction is provided
and our kayaks are very seaworthy and easy to handle.
 Q: How much paddling will we do each day?
A: Long paddles are uncommon, but we may often extend our reach
to increase the chances of good orca sightings. On full field
days, time on the water is typically 6 - 8 hours per day with
plenty of time to relax, watch the orcas or other marine life,
take scenic pictures, stretch your legs and have lunch. On day
4, we generally paddle for approximately 2 hours in the morning.
Q: What type of weather conditions will we likely encounter
in the area?
A: Weather conditions can be variable ranging from daytime temperatures
of 21°C - 24°C (70°F - 75°F). Evenings are cool
with temperatures near 10°C (55°F). Extended periods of
rain are unusual, but possible, and mornings may be foggy.
Q: What will the base camp be like?
A: It is a well-appointed base camp with a comfortable meeting
/ dining area near the campfire. It has semipermanent tent sites
using the spacious North Face VE25 or equivalent tents.
Q: What will the meals be like?
A: Our food is wholesome, offering a variety of BBQ’s, often
‘catch of the day’, that is well-prepared by the guides
themselves. There is a sheltered dining area that has one of the
most incredible views of the surrounding waters, another great
opportunity to see the Orcas!
PS. We are happy to accommodate vegetarians!
Please Note: While we cannot guarantee Orca whale sightings,
sea kayaking guides will focus on maximizing your opportunities
for experiencing Orcas within the scope of this itinerary. Orcas
whales are wild animals and as such their travel routes and environment
are unpredictable.
