This is a moderate grade trip. No kayak experience is necessary;
participants must be comfortable in water and in good enough
shape for 4 to 6 hours of daily kayaking, some easy hiking.
We welcome you to kayak with us
and explore the Barkley Sound, Broken Group Islands of the
Pacific Rim National Park. The Barkley Sound is a rich unspoiled
area where you can enjoy the natural beauty of the islands, the
forests and the sea. An unforgettable experience is to learn
about the unique sea life while kayaking the network of channels
and islets.
From the onset of our trip you
will be well informed on how to use and care for the equipment.
We teach the basic fundamentals of ocean kayaking and we travel
as a group staying close together. Our equipment is top of the
line quality. We try to organize our trips to satisfy both
active adventurers and those looking for a relaxing vacation. We
hope you'll agree we've found the right balance. Our itinerary
is adjusted according to weather conditions and to suit the
needs of the group.
The evening before your tour we
would like you to meet us at 1167 Helen Road in Ucluelet. Come
and meet your guides, we will give you dry bags to put your
clothes in and offer packing advice.
Day one, we meet at 8:30 am at
1167 Helen Road in Ucluelet. We travel together to Toquart Bay,
which is where we launch our kayaks for the trip to the Broken
Group Islands (you can drive your own vehicle or catch a ride
with us). Here we unload our equipment and guide you through
packing the kayaks. After equipment orientation, lessons, and a
safety talk, we begin paddling to the Broken Group Islands. Our
arrival time in the Broken Group depends on the physical ability
of the group and weather conditions.
Upon arrival, we will set up our
camp. Sometimes we keep our camp in one location for the
duration of the trip and do day-trips from the site, other times
we may choose to move the camp during the trip.
