The Johnstone Strait is home to some of the highest levels of biodiversity in Canada. For the whole day, we will explore the ecosystem and discover a myriad of animals large and small — from microscopic plankton to the gargantuan humpback whale or even run into a pod of killer whales. These mighty mammals of the sea call Johnstone Strait their summer home, as do Steller sea lions, harbour seals, Dall’s porpoises, minke whales, northern resident killer whales, the Biggs transient killer whales, and river and sea otters. Johnstone Strait boasts over fifty bird species living and migrating through the area, so keep your eye on the sky as well as the intertidal zone! There are tons of alien-like marine critters to admire alongside our more familiar birds and mammals. We promise you won’t be disappointed by the sheer number of amazing animals you’ll see — but do your best to let them pass peacefully!
Our Robson Bight Day Tour is for guests that have limited time and cannot join us on our 4-day Robson Bight Basecamp Tour. This kayaking day tour leaves Telegraph Cove at 8:30am and comes home around 4pm. We use our custom kayaking landing craft to either pick you up at the boundary of the Robson Bight Ecological Reserve at the end of the day or we start with a water taxi ride to the Boundary and paddle home. We choose either option depending on what the currents and wind are doing in the Johnstone Strait on that specific date.
Our final or starting destination is the Boundary of the Robson Bight Ecological Reserve which is a habitat famous for its whale rubbing beaches and is only accessible by watercraft (such as a handy kayak), this journey is the perfect retreat amongst nature’s most basic yet impressive elements: pure water and fresh air. You’ll be well taken care of by our guides — they’ll make sure you’re well-fed, well-rested, and well-entertained… And of course, enjoying nature! So what are you waiting for? Come with us and explore the sea stars, anemones, nudibranchs, and so much more…
Our guides may deviate from the planned route to Robson Bight if they discover wildlife in another location. Our ability to be adaptable and have a water taxi on standby is our greatest asset in delivering an exceptional kayaking day tour. While our primary objective is to paddle to Robson Bight, there are instances where the presence of wildlife may alter our plans.
