Orcas passing by

Killer whales are the star attraction in Johnstone Strait. Seeing them from the kayak is one of the greatest experiences to behold.

We also see the whales from camp, from the boat ride to our camp as well from high up on the cliffs from researchers station at Eagle Eye.

Pre trip stretch

A little warm up before a day on the water is a good idea. This photo was taken at camp with the beautiful Tsitika Valley as our back drop.

All level or paddlers join our tours. From 12 to 80 year olds have enjoyed our camp over the years.

The Bluff

This is where the group hangs out when the killer whales pass by camp.

We also have a high powered spotting scope for you to use to get a little closer to the wildlife from our perch on the mossy bluffs.

The Cedar tree

The cedar tree is the most important Resource to the Kwakuitl people indigenous to this area. This large cedar can be viewed on our hike to visit the researchers.

Mother and calf

The orcas are matrilineal. Like elephants, the oldest female is the head of the family. A male will spend its whole life with it's paternal mother, rarely getting out of vocal range.

Beach break

We will be stopping several times a day to get out and have a stretch, lunch, visit a site of interest or relieve ourselves.

If at anytime you need a break, just let the guides know and we will stop at the nearest beach.

Hanging out at camp

When not kayaking, we will often be spending time relaxing at camp. The tours are a great way to meet new friends, sample some west coast cuisine and soak up the fresh ocean air.
