Kayak Touring in British Columbia
Vancouver Island, Nootka Sound & Nuchalitz |
|
| KBC#05 Nootka Sound & Nuchalitz Archipelago |
 |
| As a remote sea kayaking tour - adventure destination, the exquisite raw beauty of Nootka Sound and the Nuchatlitz is unsurpassed. Our expedition takes place in one of the best sea kayaking tour destinations in the world. Situated on the northwest coast of Nootka Island (the largest island on the west coast of Vancouver Island), the Nuchatlitz archipelago and inlet offers unparalleled paddling opportunities. Rafts of a hundred sea otters are not a rarity in this area; home to one of the largest otter populations in the world. The area is also rich with natural predators (black bears, bald eagles, wolves and more
) creating abundant wildlife viewing and photographic opportunities. Salmon and lingcod are plentiful in the Nuchatlitz. If you are fortunate and should hook one of these spirited fish, prepare yourself for the fight of your life. After helping you land your prize, our guides will assist you in cleaning your catch in preparation for cooking over an open campfire at one of the long secluded beaches we will be calling home for the night. Other highlights include the thrill of paddling in a giant sea cave, showering in a crisp, clean waterfall, native cultural interpretation, mouth watering west coast cuisine and ample time to relax. |

| Day 01 |
| We will meet at 9:00 a.m. at our designated water taxi pick-up to load gear; our planned departure time will be 10:00 a.m. The water taxi will ferry us into the heart of the beautiful Nuchatlitz archipelago. After the group unloads the gear, the guides will conduct a group kayak orientation, discussing kayak safety as well as how to load your kayak. We will then depart for Benson Point. After the paddle we will sit down for an exquisite salmon dinner, a glass of wine and a beautiful west coast sunset. |
|
| Day 02 |
| After a refreshing natural waterfall shower in the morning, we will have some leisure time to enjoy and explore the sandy beach, take photographs or catch up on journal entries. An afternoon paddle up to the inner basin or cruising for wildlife is a great primer for a hearty dinner, and an evening around the campfire. |
|
| Day 03 |
| Today we will paddle back into the Nuchatlitz Group, possibly fishing from the kayaks or exploring the small islands on our way back to camp at Garden Point. We will also take time to capture photographs of the natural beauty of the area. |
|
| Day 04 |
| An early breakfast and hot coffee as we pack and reflect on the past few days while we await our water taxi pick up to whisk us back to the town of Zeballos. |
|
| Day 05 - 07 |
| Our 6 and 7 Day Tours are continuing to explore the waters around Nootka Sound. |
