Itinerary

Stop At: Hello Nature Adventure Tours

No kayaking experience is necessary; participants must be comfortable in and around water, in good enough shape for 4 to 6 hours of daily kayaking, and some easy hiking.

Day 1: Kayaking - Wildlife

We will meet at 1943 Peninsula road at the Canadian Princess Lodge & Marina to load our gear and head out. The one-hour water taxi ride will give you a glimpse of the rugged and breath-taking beauty of the coast and Barkley Sound. We will be dropped off at one of the many sandy beaches within the Broken Group Islands. After unloading and sending off the water taxi we will assist and teach you how to fit everything into the kayaks.

Your guide will do a safety pre-trip talk, explaining and demonstrating the fundamentals of kayaking. You will learn or review how to get in and out, proper sitting position, paddle techniques, what to do in an emergency, and of course answer any questions or concerns you might have. Your guide will assist you if needed with launching your kayak.

Never be shy of asking questions, whether about safety, kayaking, the sea and wildlife we encounter, or the forest ecology. Our guides have been working in this part of the world for many years and are very knowledgeable about kayaking and about the area.

Our itinerary will be determined by group ability and weather. We are aiming to paddle 4-6 hours per day leaving plenty of time for other activities and for relaxing. There will be plenty of opportunities to take photos, have a snack, or go for that washroom break. Our goal is comfort, we believe that fun and adventure shouldn’t be painful or too strenuous. We will stop for a lunch break and your guide will prepare a delicious meal while you kick back, relax and take in the surrounding beauty.

We will set up camp for the night at one of the 7 designated campsites with outhouses in the Broken Group Islands. Once we arrive at our chosen site your guide will point out all facilities and campsites and assist you with setting up your tent. Snacks and hot drinks will be served after camp is set up.

Dinner will be served between 6 and 7 pm. After a wholesome meal and dessert, we look forward to bonding through everyone pitching into cleanup. All designated campsites permit campfires. Storytelling around the fire or enjoying time alone is your choice but before we all say good night we will have a quick briefing with the whole group regarding the next day's schedule.

Day 2: Kayaking - Forest Tour

We aim to have breakfast between 7 and 9 am - depending on the weather. We may move camp every day or stay at one campsite for the entire trip. The guide will have the final say, as we need to take weather and group ability into account.

Paddling and enjoying lunches in different locations within the islands will be a daily routine. There will be plenty of opportunities to discover inter-tidal life, explore old-growth forests, and ancient First Nation Village sites.

Day 3: Kayaking - Departure

On the final kayaking day, after paddling for the day, we will be picked up by water taxi and whisked back to Ucluelet. We will exchange email addresses and hugs so we can share photos and keep in touch.

Duration: 3 days
