  • This isn’t just a kayaking trip—it’s an all-access pass to one of Canada’s most spectacular coastal wilderness areas. Over three days, we’ll paddle through the breathtaking Broken Group Islands, stopping at deserted beaches, exploring hidden coves, and soaking in the serenity of this untouched paradise. Wildlife encounters? Guaranteed. Campfire stories? Mandatory. Glamping comfort? Absolutely. At night, we’ll unwind at a secluded oceanfront campsite, where the tents are cozy, the meals are top-notch, and the waves provide the perfect soundtrack. Adventure, comfort, and nature at its finest—this is kayaking, upgraded.

    • 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. The water taxi will pick us up and bring us to our private and remote glamping site, where the guide will give us an orientation on the basecamp.

      Later on, dinner will be served, and each evening we’ll have a campfire where we’ll share our favorite moments from the day.

From intertidal life to wildlife viewing, there will be plenty of photo-ready memories to be made along the way.
