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

The North Island Kayak Five Day Basecamp Adventure focuses on the North East of Vancouver Island near Telegraph Cove. You paddle Johnstone Strait and the narrow tidal passages around Hanson island in search of marine wildlife in its natural environment. A unique kayak tour led by our experienced, qualified guides using top quality equipment, optimized for wildlife viewing and a safe, fun experience for yourself and your family!
We will provide lunch & dinner on day 1; all meals on other days; breakfast & lunch on the last day, as well as all camping equipment. You need to arrive at our store adjacent to the kayak launch ramp in Telegraph Cove at 8-45am on your start date. Your kayaks will already be on the launch ramp, waiting for you, with the group gear loaded. We will spend some time assisting you to pack your personal things and clothing into the dry bags we supply and loading it into the kayaks. Once your bags are stowed you will receive some on-shore paddling instruction and we will be ready to cast off. You will paddle out of the mouth of the tiny Telegraph Cove harbor, directly into Johnstone Strait. We typically follow an itinerary; however, on some occasions need to make changes due to weather or tidal considerations; Our goal will always remain to provide you with the best possible wildlife and kayaking experience!

What Guests Are Saying

Amazing experience! the kayaking was beautiful and tailored to our level of experience, and the campsites were absolutely incredible. Also definitely the best meals I've ever had camping (pizza, cookies, salmon...) - 100% would recommend!! Having the tents already set up and being able to relax was very special!
