What to Expect
Beginnings
On the first day of your trip, you will meet your guides and fellow travellers in Alder Bay, British Columbia, Canada. Located 10 mins south of Port McNeill on northern Vancouver Island, our meeting point requires some pre-planning to get to. Please note: due to the remote nature of the area, public transportation is limited.
Endings
On your final day of paddling, you will end in Bauza Cove and be shuttled back to Alder Bay, where we will say our final goodbyes.
Price Includes
Your trip includes all kayaking equipment, beverages and meals (lunch on Day 1 through lunch on Day 6). Camping equipment of tents and Therm-a-Rest sleeping pads will be provided. You also receive one-night’s stay at Paddler’s Inn. The price also covers park and land use permits and all land and water shuttle service.
Weather
The cool, nutrient dense waters of the northeast coast of Vancouver Island attract salmon, orcas, eagles, humpbacks, and other wildlife. These colder waters and ocean breezes make the region cool, even during the summer months. Typical daytime temperatures in June to September sit at around 66°F (19°C). Overnight temperatures can drop as low as 50°F (10°C). The shoulder season is cooler (June and September) and fleece and/or puffy jackets are recommended throughout the season, even in August. Early morning fog is common, and if winds are forecasted, they typically build throughout the day. Rainfall can occur anytime, even in the peak of summer. Please keep this in mind while packing!
Group Size
Expect a maximum of 10 people and two guides during the tour.
Camp Life
Whether you’re an experienced camper or it’s your first time, our outfitter makes sure your camping experience is easy and comfortable. The itinerary for the trip remains flexible and based on the group’s preferences. The guides will either choose one campsite for several nights or move from camp to camp.
Outfitters provide a tent and Therm-a-Rest sleeping pad for your comfort and everyone participates in setting up and breaking down camp. At campsites without pit toilets, guides will set up a clean, private camp toilet upon arrival at camp and dismantled it just before embarking in the morning.
Meals
The menu for this trip is kept hearty and healthy with simplicity in mind so there is more time to spend on fun activities. You can expect dishes created around and featuring local, organic, and seasonal foods. This includes fruits and vegetables, locally caught wild salmon and baked breads, and mornings with ethically sourced, fresh roasted coffee. The outfitter can also accommodate most dietary requests.
