Itinerary

    We would like to meet you the day before the tour departure, we will give you your drybags for packing your clothes and we can try on the kayaking gear. Let us know what time you will arrive in Ucluelet and where you will be staying that night. Day one, we meet at 8:30 am. We travel together to Tofino which is where we launch our kayaks for the trip into Clayoquot Sound. You can drive your own vehicle or catch a ride with us. Parking is safe, abundant and free at our business in Ucluelet. In Tofino at the beach, we unload our equipment and start packing the kayaks. We will offer packing tips to those that require them. After an equipment orientation, lessons and a safety talk, we will begin paddling. Our arrival time at our campsite for the 1st night will depend on the physical ability of the group and weather/sea conditions. Upon arrival, we will set up our camp. Sometimes we keep our camp in one location for a few days and do day-trips from the site, other times we may choose to move the camp frequently during the trip.

    Each day breakfast is at 8:00 am and we try to be on the water by 9:30 am. We paddle 4 - 6 hours per day with rest stops, travelling as a group staying close together. We have tried to organize our groups to satisfy both active adventurers and those looking for a relaxing vacation. We hope you'll agree that we've found the right balance. Your skills will develop through out the tour. The guides will offer paddling lessons. Navigation is fun to learn, you can follow along on your own marine chart that we provide for you. If you are comfortable and confident in your kayak you will enjoy the surroundings so much more.

    Clayoquot Sound is a vast and beautiful area, full of life. Whales, porpoises, eagles, deer, black bears, and many interesting shorebirds thrive there. Gigantic white sandy beaches are waiting for you to explore them. An unforgettable experience is to learn about the unique sea life while kayaking through Clayoquot Sound.

    This is our final day of kayaking, we pack up our camp and load the kayaks for the trip home. We stop for lunch along the way and try to be back at the launch site around 3:00 pm. We take time to enjoy the day and savour our last moments of the trip, reflect on the experiences and take home some great memories. By now you are already planning your next kayak trip, you have developed into an intermediate kayaker and are feeling very confident on your own in your kayak.
