We do what we love. After nearly 20 years guiding sea kayaking trips in British Columbia, we still feel a sense of anticipation and excitement when pushing off from shore at the beginning of an expedition. With us, you’ll find engaged and professional guides, amazing food and top-notch gear and logistics to allow you the best experience whale watching, paddling and reconnecting with nature. We offer a range of trip styles to choose from such as base camp, expedition, mothership and family tours.

Overview

The Johnstone Strait Expedition is about giving you the Orca kayaking experience at price that is easy on the pocketbook while maintaining the high standards you expect from a Spirit of the West Adventures kayak tour. You will have the best trained guides on the coast, top-of-the-line gear and most importantly, plenty of wildlife watching, fun and adventure!
After planning the tour route and some kayaking skills instruction and packing our kayaks, we will begin our journey into the rich and diverse waters of Johnstone Strait and up to the edge of the nearby Broughton Archipelago. Our route and itinerary are flexible and will be dictated by wildlife viewing, tidal, wind, and wave conditions. Stunning, wild campsites will be our home for the next 3 nights.

Itinerary

Meeting Place

Bauza Cove

Bauza Cove, British Columbia

Day 1:

Good morning - Adventure awaits you! Meet your guide team at 11:30AM in Bauza Cove (just past Telegraph Cove). Meet your fellow guests, pack your gear into dry bags and hop into your kayak for your first day on the water.

Day 2:

Enjoy a hearty breakfast prepared by your talented guides. This tour is as flexible as can be— maybe you’ll pack up camp and head off to explore a new area. Or maybe you’ll go for a day paddle to visit the Robson Bight, the White Cliffs Islets or hike up the Big Tree Trail.

Day 3:

Your guides will be on hand to tell you all about the amazing intertidal and marine life you might see on the way. At the end of the afternoon, take a refreshing dip in the ocean, or settle in for the night with a good book and a mug of tea.

Day 4:

Wake up early to make the most of your final morning in paradise. Spend a few hours on the water, before heading back to your start point in Bauza Cove.

"Great service from start to finish. Very detail oriented (hydrophone, whale book library, etc.). The guides always made us feel super comfortable, they were competent kayakers, and knew a lot about the marine environment, ecosystems, going green..."
