KAYAK WITH WHALES – BASE CAMP KAYAKING

Imagine waking to the sound of a humpback’s breath as it glides past your tent. Later, take in a moment of awe watching a pod of orcas from your kayak, while the rest of the day is filled with the soft huffs of seals and quiet wingbeats, as bald eagles swoop over the water in search of salmon. This can be just another day on a “Kayak With Whales” base camp kayak tour with Kingfisher Wilderness Adventures.

There is no better place in the world to kayak with killer whales and humpback whales than Johnstone Strait off the northeastern corner of Vancouver Island. This area is recognized as one of the most predictable places in the world to see these great marine mammals, and Kingfisher’s base camps are located on an island covered in old-growth rainforest in the heart of these wildlife-rich waters.

Over the four days of your stay at our camp, you’ll explore the variety of kayaking routes this area has to offer. Since our camps are located along routes frequently used by our local cetaceans, it’s not unusual to see orcas and humpback whales pass by the camp, often during the morning’s first cup of French-press coffee or dinner. Don’t worry; we’re always ready to take our plates to the perfect spot to admire our local wildlife at camp! These waters are also home to harbour seals, porpoises, minke whales, and rich intertidal life. A number of bald eagle nests and Steller sea lion haulouts are all within easily paddling distance of camp, and it isn’t uncommon to see humpback whales lunging through schools of small fish as they fatten up for their winter migration south.

Kingfisher’s guides are well acquainted with the natural history, whales, and other wildlife of British Columbia’s coast, knowledge which they eagerly share. While it’s hard to miss an orca’s six-foot dorsal fin as it passes your kayak, your guides also help you spot the less obvious whales, seals, porpoises, and dolphins. They also share their knowledge about the other creatures that inhabit these waters, such as sea stars, urchins, anemones, and other spectacular intertidal life.

Embark on an unforgettable odyssey with Kingfisher Wilderness Adventures, where every paddle stroke brings you closer to the soul-stirring beauty of the Pacific Northwest and all its marine wonders.
