FAMILY KAYAK WITH WHALES – BASE CAMP KAYAKING

Searching under rocks for crabs, watching humpback whales feed on a school of small fish, or being surprised as a harbor seal pops up right next to their kayak are all memories children cherish for a lifetime. Kingfisher’s “Family Kayak with Whales” base camp kayak tours are designed for families with children aged 6 to 14 and are a great way for the whole family to better appreciate wildlife and nature!

This base camp tour involves three days of kayaking and three nights of comfortable camping at our family base camp. On the fourth day we depart camp by water taxi in the morning and head to Telegraph Cove, where we visit the Whale Interpretive Centre. After the whale interpretive centre, we head for lunch before our van drives the group back to end the trip in Port McNeill. The family base camp is less than two miles from our “adult” base camp and is well suited for viewing a wide variety of wildlife.

During your stay at the camp we explore the variety of kayaking routes the area has to offer. The camp is surrounded by old growth rainforest and is right in the heart of the wildlife rich waters of Johnstone Strait, recognized as one of the most predictable places in the world to kayak with both orcas and humpback whales. The nearby waters are also home to harbour seals, sea lions, porpoises, and sea birds, while a number of bald eagle nests and harbour seal haulouts are all a short paddling distance from camp. This camp also features fantastic intertidal life, providing endless entertainment for little ones to discover.

Kingfisher’s guides are well acquainted with the whales and other wildlife we encounter, and enjoy working with children in both educational and outdoor settings. Children are often just as amazed by the seals and the crabs hiding under the rocks as they are with the whales, and our guides structure each day to suit a child’s style of exploration.
