Itinerary
Meeting Place
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.

What Guests Are Saying
"Epic. The location of the basecamp along the Strait allowed for viewing wild ocean and intertidal life while paddling or just exploring. The guides would literally stop and drop anything to help with questions or concerns. Overall, it was such a life changing experience."
