Rejoice in the melody of the majestic Humpback whale. Relish the tranquility of a temperate rainforest as you slumber. Spend your days watching whales and kayaking with Orcas, admiring sea lions playing in an underwater kelp forest, and observing eagles fishing along the beach. Savor a leisurely meal on an uninhabited island, keeping an eye out for signs of Orca activity on the horizon. Embark on a journey through the rainforest, trekking to breathtaking waterfalls or venturing along ancient First Nation paths. Be amazed as dolphins swim close enough to touch. Tune in to the ebb and flow of the tides while escaping the cacophony of everyday life. Replenish your inner balance from the sanctuary of a kayak. With Ecosummer Expeditions’ Orca Camp sea kayaking and whale watching adventures, you'll discover that kayaking, like life, is most fulfilling when you relax and slow down.
The Johnstone Strait, a rugged passageway between Vancouver Island and the mainland of British Columbia, boasts some of the best whale watching opportunities in the region. This channel is home to a variety of species, including humpback whales, 260 resident and even more transient orcas, all of which migrate and feed on the plentiful marine life along its rocky shores.
Set sail on an adventure with a small group of explorers for four days, paddling the same waters as these gentle giants. Through their extensive knowledge of whale behavior and migration patterns, expert guides will lead you on a journey of discovery to remote inlets and tranquil bays in search of orcas, humpbacks, porpoises, dolphins, and resident sea lions. Without any feeding times or fences, observe these creatures playing in their natural environment. Whale watching from a kayak in this quintessentially west-coast experience takes wildlife viewing to a whole new level.
It is a delightful pleasure for both amateur and seasoned kayakers alike to witness Orcas bouncing around freely. Every encounter with these magnificent whales is a thrilling and goosebumps-inducing experience, making it an experience that never gets old.
