  • Some adventures change you—this is one of them. Five days of sea kayaking through the legendary Broken Group Islands, camping on remote beaches, and paddling through a landscape so wild it barely feels real. Each morning, we’ll wake to the sound of lapping waves, then spend our days weaving through hidden coves, old-growth forests, and shorelines teeming with marine life. No Wi-Fi, no stress—just epic paddling, unreal scenery, and stories we’ll be telling for years.

    • We’ll meet at 200 Hemlock Street at the Small Craft Harbour. The guide will brief us on a water taxi to the Broken Group Islands while we take in the breathtaking beauty of the coastline along the way. We will be dropped at one of the many sandy beaches within the Broken Group, where we’ll unload and re-pack our gear into kayaks. From here, we’ll have a kayak orientation to prepare us for our first paddle. We’ll aim to paddle for 4-6 hours a day.

      At noon, we’ll stop for our first lunch break where the guide will prepare a delicious meal. Following this, we’ll continue to paddle the park. In the afternoon, the guide will decide where to make camp for the night, selecting one of the 7 designated campsites within the Broken Group. We’ll have a camp orientation and set-up our tents for the evening. Later on, dinner will be served, and each evening we’ll have a campfire where we’ll share our favorite moments from the day.

      Meals: Lunch, dinner
      Accommodation: Camping

      Walking through the forest
    • We’ll start the day nice and early, maybe catching a sunrise along the way. We’ll aim to have breakfast ready between 7-9am. We may move camp, or stay at one campsite for the entire trip. Our guide will advise based on weather and conditions.

      Each day, we’ll paddle and enjoy lunches on different beaches within the islands, with plenty of opportunity to discover the vast intertidal life, old-growth forests, and learn from the ancient First Nation Village sites located within the Broken Group.

      Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
      Kayaking: 4-6 hours
      Accommodation: Camping

      Kayaker on the water
    • On the final kayaking day, we’ll spend yet another day exploring the Broken Group Islands. After a day on the water, we’ll be picked up by the water taxi and whisked back home to Ucluelet.

      Kayaking: 4-6 hours
