God's Pocket Resort
Sea Kayak Tour Six-Day Itinerary
Day 0: Overnight on your own in Port Hardy, on
northern tip of Vancouver Island BC Canada
Day 1: We'll have
an early morning orientation meeting at a hotel in Port Hardy where you'll meet your
guides. Then, we'll take a boat for the shuttle to God's Pocket Resort. Upon
arriving at the resort, there is a brief lodge orientation and checking into
your room. On the dock after lunch, the guides will give an orientation on
kayaking and safety before leading a short paddling excursion.
Days 2-5: Each
day, after a scrumptious breakfast in the dining room, we will depart on daily
paddling excursions to explore the adjacent islands and passages of Queen
Charlotte Strait and God's Pocket Provincial Park, where marine mammals abound. Typically we will paddle for 2 hours in the morning, take an
hour or two to enjoy our gourmet packed lunch on a scenic island beach, and spend another 2 hours in
the kayaks before returning to the comforts of the resort. If you need a break
from kayaking, you have the option to spend the day exploring island trails on
foot or beach combing deserted beaches.
Day 6: After
breakfast, we will check out of our rooms and board the boat for the return to
Port Hardy.
Note on
Itinerary: We will do our best to adhere to the schedule listed above.
However, the itinerary may change due to reasons beyond our control such as
wind, waves or inclement weather.
Extra things to do in the Port Hardy/Port McNeill/Telegraph Cove area: For extra days in the area, we recommend Fort Rupert native art galleries near Port Hardy, side trips to Alert Bay and the U'mista Cultural Center on Cormorant Island, or Sointula - both reached by short ferry ride from Port McNeill. Or an orca watching cruise with Mackay out of Port McNeill or Stubbs Island out of Telegraph Cove. Also, check out the Whale Museum Interpretive Centre.
"The food was fantastic,
guides were pleasant, helpful, energetic and fun. It was nice to sleep in a bed
and have indoor toilets and hot showers - just decadent! I think many people
who don't especially enjoy camping and sleeping on the ground, would find this
a great trip".
