Day
1All participants meet at the lawn in front of the Telegraph Cove Resort office (right next to the boat launch) at 8:00 am. Here the guides will assign you to a kayak and help you get your personal gear stowed away. When everyone is ready, we'll go over some basic paddling fundamentals and a safety orientation and then launch into the pristine waters of Johnstone Strait. With helpful advice and instruction from your guides, it won't take long till you feel you're getting the "hang of it" as we paddle along the gorgeous Vancouver Island coastline.

Day
2These waters are the territorial range of many resident orca pods, as well as transient orca, and it is not uncommon for us to encounter these magnificent mammals within the first few hours of our day and throughout during your time in this spectacular area. After a couple of hours, we'll land on one of the beaches and you can sit back and enjoy a delicious lunch the guides will prepare. After lunch we'll launch the kayaks and make our way to our campsite at Kaikash Creek (one of the rubbing beaches in the area where we'll be staying for our 2 nights). We'll then make camp, set up our tents and you are free to explore the beaches, trails, relax or perhaps join one of the guides fishing (great salmon in these waters). A sumptuous dinner around a cozy campfire with a canopy of stars above is the evenings entertainment...don't be too surprised if you hear the whales blowing as they go by during the night.

Day
3We'll wake to the aroma's of coffee, cooked breakfast and the sounds of the lapping waves for our final day in Johnstone Strait. After breakfast, we'll break camp and load up all the kayaks with our gear..."this stuff should all fit, shouldn't it?". We'll take the route back along the Vancouver Island coastline, cameras ready and ever prepared for a final encounter or encounters with the orca along the way. With the tides in our favour and sunshine and warm breezes on our faces, we should arrive back at our embarkation point of Telegraph Cove between noon and 1:00pm.
