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

Embark on an immersive nomadic expedition through the enchanting Broughton Archipelago, exploring Johnstone Strait, Blackfish Sound, and the archipelago's remote corners. This unique journey involves carrying your gear, setting up camp on secluded islands, and paddling beyond our conventional basecamp areas. It's an opportunity to paddle continuously, camp under the stars, and experience the untamed beauty of the region at your own pace.
We will provide lunch & dinner on day 1; breakfast, lunch & dinner all other days, and breakfast and lunch on the last day. These all-inclusive trip combine spectacular wildlife and the ancient history of those that have lived here for thousands of years. We go in search of wild orca and humpback in their natural environment, before leaving the deep water behind to explore ancient village sites with white shell beaches and discover sheltered coves to camp in. Our experienced guides will facilitate your experience from start to finish using top quality equipment and preparing outstanding meals day after day. You will carry all of your own gear, set up camp on remote islands in the Broughtons each night and explore areas far beyond the reaches of our basecamp network.

What Guests Are Saying

We had one of the most memorable vacations ever! In addition to the adventure of kayaking in the ocean waters and camping at different islands, we also got some of the best wildlife viewing adventures including orcas, humpback whales, Dall's porpoises, sea lions and what not! We also got to see bioluminescence.
