British Columbia Sea Kayaking

One of the most scenic sea kayak routes in North America – Broughton Archipelago to Johnstone Strait, a haven for nature enthusiasts.

British Columbia Sea Kayaking

Johnstone Strait & Broughton Archipelago

Nearly all British Columbia’s 300 resident orcas return to the Johnstone Strait area for the summer season to play, eat, sleep, and rub their bodies underwater on the area’s unique, small pebble beaches. Broughton Archipelago consists of hundreds of small islands, which are surrounded by channels. The water in this area is rich in marine life and in addition to the orca whales, you may see river otters, dolphins, and porpoise. You will spend your days paddling beside old-growth forests, the perfect habitat for an abundance of wildlife and exploration.

B.C. Kayaking Overview

Paddle from Broughton Archipelago Marine Park to Johnstone Strait of British Columbia, a haven for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts. Groups are limited to 12 total people including guides. This B.C. kayaking tour visits new territory each day in search of Orcas and other wildlife. The trip includes one night’s stay at a remote, family owned lodge amidst forest wilderness and perched upon a huge raft of logs on the ocean. Our partner outfitter is committed to environmental stewardship and practices minimal impact camping. They donate a percentage of their proceeds annually to organizations dedicated to protecting and preserving the environment.
