North Island Kayak

Located in Telegraph Cove on the northeast coast of Vancouver Island, BC, North Island Kayak has been providing travellers with the opportunity to kayak with whales and other marine wildlife in this spectacular, remote part of British Columbia since 1991.

Overview

Spend two whole days kayaking in one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in North America! Our overnight basecamp adventure is perfect for those who want an immersive kayaking and camping experience without the commitment of a longer trip. Your guide will ensure you are comfortable as you paddle along the Vancouver Island shoreline, toward our remote beachfront base camp. Join us on our exclusive and all-inclusive adventure!
You can expect to spend four to six hours a day on the water, to eat lunches on remote beaches, and to explore the Vancouver Island shoreline within the Johnstone Strait. If weather conditions are favourable, you may cross the Strait to the Plumper Islands. The timing and routes of our trips are always determined by our guides. This allows them to create the best possible experience, based on the daily conditions, your group, and wildlife! No two trips are ever the same. The Johnstone Strait is home to porpoises, dolphins, bald eagles, black bears, numerous sea birds, and the spectacular rugged scenery of northern Vancouver Island. In the summer months, we occasionally see sea lions, humpback whales, and orcas. Though we can never guarantee sightings of any kind, from mid July through early September, the Johnstone Strait is the best location in North America to spot the Northern Resident Orca population

What Guests Are Saying

We did the 2 hour tour with North Island Kayak. Our guides Josh and Danielle were friendly and knowledgeable. The scenery is beautiful. We saw wildlife. We were limited for time but if I were to go back and had more time I would do a longer tour.
