Save Orcas by Saving Salmon
Kayaking with orcas 
lead Sea Kayak Adventures to Johnstone Strait, the northern section of Vancouver Island’s Inside Passage. Johnstone Strait in July-Sept is the best place in the world to kayak with orcas and see killer whales up close, due to the concentration of orcas in this narrow, sheltered waterway. This unique subspecies of orca, called "northern residents," is found nowhere else on earth and eats only fish. They congregate each summer in Johnstone Strait to feast on the prolific salmon runs concentrated by the geography of the strait.
This part of British Columbia, Canada also hosts a wealth of other life, from dolphins and porpoises to seals and otters. Below the waves, a myriad of fish, crustaceans, and invertebrates support this diverse ecosystem. None are more vital than the Pacific salmon, which plays a key role in sustenance for the entire ecosystem. Bald eagles, orcas, bears and generations of First Nations people rely on the salmon which is why we must take care to protect them.
Dutch ovens are the first “ingredient” to our success. Sea Kayak Adventures remains one of the few kayak tour companies that cooks with this authentic, versatile method. Dutch ovens are placed on or over a campfire or stove, often with coals placed along the lid to heat from the top as well. While most people think of Dutch ovens as suitable only for slow-cooking, like roasts or stews, our specialty is dutch oven baking for savory main dishes like chili rellenos, baked salmon and vegetable lasagna.
