It is a truly magical experience to sea kayak in the lagoons and small, intimate harbors created by several small islands, hopping from one small group to another. These inner islands are home to a rich and vibrant selection of marine life, not seen in other areas along the coast.
The outer Islands are more exposed to the full force of west coast storms, which over time have created caves and blow holes. Wouwer Island is home to colonies of California and Stellar sea lions, which can be heard roaring from the distance.
The midden beaches and other archaeological remnants show evidence of first nations people inhabiting and gathering food in this area for as long as 4,000 years. There is a reason why these islands are talked about the world over as a sea kayaking and sailing destination. Come, take your adventure vacation to this great area.
Many pockets of sea stars color the journey as we pass along rocky outcrops that are home to these interesting creatures.
The sunsets here, looking to the west, are so beautiful. They are flashes of color in an ordinarily, ...well, colorful, day!
If you want a more remote location for kayaking, Nuchatlitz Inlet is an area famous for the fur trade in years past. The endangered sea otter makes its home here. Rare whales also migrate by and are seen on occasion.
Nearby areas can be explored on foot. If you prefer a hike, try our guided tour of the West Coast Trail.
