Wilderness Islands
Sea Kayak Tour Six-Day Itinerary
Day 0: You can
take the scenic drive up island by vehicle or you can arrive in Port Hardy via
a spectacular flight over the coast from Vancouver. Proceed to the hotel. There
is an evening orientation meeting in the hotel lobby where you will meet your
guides.
Day 1: In the
morning, we'll take a taxi to the launch site, listen to an orientation on
kayaking and safety, and begin paddling to our first camp.
Days 2-5: We will
be kayaking and exploring the adjacent islands and passages of Queen Charlotte
Strait. We will have four different camps, so we may not move camp every day.
On an average day, we will be kayaking for two hours in the morning after
breakfast, stop for lunch on a beach, and spend another two hours kayaking and
exploring before arriving at camp by the afternoon. Evenings and dinner in
camp.
Day 6 Saturday:
Morning paddle, lunch and then a water taxi ride to Port Hardy in the
afternoon. We recommend that you overnight in Port Hardy and join us for a
farewell dinner with your group.
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. The water taxi ride may occur at the
beginning or at the end of the trip.
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 leadership from
Terry and guides throughout the trip was first rate in all respects including
attention to safety, kayaking instruction, camp set-up, meal prep, fellowship
and education regarding weather, tides, marine biology and history of the area.
We would not hesitate to travel with you again".
