Awaken to the song of the Humpback whale. Fall asleep beneath the hushed canopy of a temperate rainforest. Fill your days, whale watching, kayaking with Orcas, observing sea lions romp through an underwater forest of kelp, and eagles fishing along the shore. Linger over lunch on a deserted island, scanning the horizon for signs of Orca activity.
Explore the rainforest, hiking to waterfalls, or along ancient First Nation trails. Marvel when dolphins swim so close you wish you could reach out and touch them. Tune in to the rhythm of the tides. Escape the hubbub of your everyday world. Restore life’s equilibrium from the seat of a kayak. Experience Ecosummer Expeditions’ Orca Camp sea kayaking and whale watching adventures and you’ll discover that paddling a kayak, like life itself, is best when you slow down and relax.
The rugged Johnstone Strait, between Vancouver Island and the BC mainland, is one of the best places to whale watch in all of British Columbia. Humpback whales, 260 Resident and even more Transient Orcas all migrate the channel, feeding on the abundant marine life found between its rocky shores.
Paddle the same waters as these gentle giants with an intimate group of explorers on three-, four-, or six-day kayaking adventures. Expert guides, in tune with the natural behaviours and migration patterns of whales, lead an expedition of discovery to remote inlets and tranquil bays, in a quest to spot Orcas and Humpbacks, porpoises, dolphins, and resident sea lions playing in their natural environment without feeding times, or fences.
A quintessentially west-coast experience whale watching from a kayak takes wildlife viewing to a whole new level.
Whether you’re a first-time, or expert kayaker, spotting Orcas never gets old – it’s always a joy to witness whales frolicking freely, making each encounter you have a thrilling, goose-bumpy experience.
