Description:

From the village of Tofino you'll embark on a 6-day voyage of discovery into the heart of Clayoquot Sound -- where rainforest-covered mountains meet wave-swept white sand beaches.

Imagine waking up on a mile-long beach to the sound of waves lapping gently on the shore, and the smell of fresh coffee brewing. Over a breakfast of scrambled eggs with fresh salsa and honeydew melon, the guides outline the plan for the day: perhaps a day-trip to a secluded cove, where you'll visit an ancient grove of giant sitka spruce, or maybe a circumnavigation of an offshore island.

Kayaking is an excellent way to view wildlife -- from the magic of a tide-pool to the majesty of a soaring eagle. With luck, you may see timber wolves, sea otters, killer whales, or some of the gray whales who spend their summers here.

There's no shortage of fun while we share our intimate knowledge of the area's natural and cultural history. Our floating library is full of field guides and books of local cultural history.

Our touring style is relaxed, yet adventurous. We travel at a leisurely pace, with frequent stops to stretch our legs and explore. There's lots of time for reading, walking the white sand beaches, socializing, and simply relaxing on the beach!

Who should come:

No paddling skills or previous experience are needed to join our guided tours. High levels of fitness are not required -- anyone who enjoys being physically active can participate in this trip.

The kayaks and accessories, tents, group camping gear, and meals are provided. All you need to bring is your personal clothing, sleeping bag and pad, and a sense of adventure!

"What a pleasure to be reminded of our wonderful Clayoquot trip! Coincidentally, I was just reminiscing this morning... all the whales, the wolf, the great food and company, and your excellent instruction. Maybe we'll see you next year!"
