Alder Bay RV Park & Marina
Alder Bay, British Columbia
Day 1:
Arrive at Alder Bay Resort & Marina. At 11:30am, grab your luggage and meet your guides at the dock. After a quick safety briefing, you’ll jump aboard our water taxi for a scenic 30 minute boat journey across the Johnstone Strait.
Day 2:
Steaming coffee will be available for when you’re ready to kickstart your day. Enjoy a hearty breakfast before deciding your optimum recreation to relaxation ratio. Enjoy a land activity, with a hike to the top of Eagle Eye and an interpretive talk about forest ecology before paddling back to camp.
Day 3:
Spend the whole day paddling along the coastlines, learning all about the fascinating intertidal life that clings onto the rocks and headlands. Or maybe you’ll opt for a relaxing day at camp, practicing yoga, curling up with a cup of tea and a good book, or soaking in the wood fired hot tub.
Day 4:
Pack your luggage before filling up on a tasty breakfast. Savour your final moments on the water during a magical morning paddle. After a quick lunch and some fond farewells, you’ll be boarding the water taxi back to Alder Bay. You can expect to be back at your vehicle by 2pm.
