For three days, you and your family will embark on a kayak adventure exploring the wonderful ecosystem and look for a myriad of animals large and small — from microscopic plankton to the northern resident killer whale. You may come across Steller sea lions, harbour seals, Dall’s porpoises, minke whales, humpback whales, and river and sea otters too. Johnstone Strait also boasts over fifty bird species living and migrating through the area, so keep your eye on the sky as well as the intertidal zone! There are tons of alien-like marine critters to admire alongside our more familiar birds and mammals. Your kids will love it!
This trip is designed for families and children, so it includes low tide walks to explore intertidal creatures during the day and campfires and smores at night time. We also provide specialized private family tours to focus on a desired topic such as leadership, wilderness navigation, wildlife identification, or any other topic you would like. We offer a range of family-friendly route plans and interpretive programs to encourage fun experiential education while immersed in the natural world. These tours are the perfect opportunity for families to get away from the hustle of daily life, away from their screens, and enjoy a unique and memorable experience together in nature that will be cherished forever.
Since our campsites are only accessible by watercraft, this journey is the perfect retreat amongst Canada’s most basic yet impressive elements: pure water and fresh air. You and your children will be taken care of by your guides who will make sure you’re well-fed, well-rested, safe, and well-entertained… And of course, enjoying nature!
Your tour begins at 8:30 am and departs from Telegraph Cove on Fridays or Mondays. And then you return to Telegraph Cove in the late afternoon on the third day. While no previous kayaking experience is necessary, you should be physically and mentally fit for 3 days of kayaking and camping in a wilderness setting. We recommend a minimum of age of 9, but younger children can certainly be accommodated on private, custom trips.
