Our Base Camps are ideally located to view a wide range of marine mammals. A number of seal and sea lion haul outs are within a short paddle of the base camps, humpback whales regularly feed in view of the camps, and orcas travel between Johnstone Strait and Queen Charlotte Strait right past the base camps.
We often have guests asking us “when is the best time see (fill in the blank) on your base camp tours?” We always want to set the appropriate expectations with our guests of what may be seen on our kayak tours. Below is a chart of the more likely marine mammals we see each summer on our Kayak With Whales and Whales and Grizzly Bears base camp kayak tours.
