  • This isn’t just a kayaking trip—it’s a full-on immersion into one of Canada’s most stunning seascapes. The Broken Group Islands are a dream for paddlers, with calm waters, hidden coves, and beaches so pristine they feel untouched. Over three days, we’ll explore this rugged paradise, paddling 4-6 hours daily with plenty of time to relax, learn, and soak up the surroundings. We’ll refuel with great meals, uncover the rich history of the islands, and return each night to a warm lodge and a well-earned soak in the hot tub. Adventure, comfort, and incredible scenery—this trip has it all.

    • We’ll meet the guides 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. From here, we’ll have a kayak orientation to prepare us for our first paddle of this tour.

       

      The itinerary will be based on group ability and weather, aiming to paddle 4-6 hours a day with plenty of time for spending quality time exploring and learning. 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. Upon arrival at our strategically-located lodge just north of the Broken Group Islands, we’ll be greeted by the comfort of our own rooms. Dinner will be served at 6pm.
