Family Adventure Vacations

Batstar Adventure Tours offers fully guided sea kayak trips to breathtaking locations on BC ’s west coast. You can also incorporate whale watching into your trip. Many of our guests have turned their trips with us into family adventure vacations. We thoroughly enjoy taking families out, and many have told us that their trip with us was their best family adventure vacation ever. There is no greater pleasure for us than to help create great family memories! We handle all the details, which means the ‘organizers’ in the family (aka parents) can kick back and enjoy the family adventure vacation as much as the rest of the family!Family adventure vacations kayaking Vancouver Island with Batstar

Fully guided sea kayak trips lend themselves well to family adventure vacations because sea kayaking appeals to all ages. It is easy enough that no previous experience is necessary, yet adventurous enough that you won’t easily be bored. People of all ages are very compatible in double sea kayaks, and the difference in pace between experienced paddlers and newcomers is nominal.

Traveling by sea kayak allows you to awaken the sense of family adventure and discovery. We paddle among beautiful, secluded islands and beaches, and stop often to explore the island trails and tidal pools. Kids of all ages love to snoop in tidal pools for star fish, sea urchins and anemones. Our reperetoire of beach games ranges from Bocce to bowling and our guides are always keen to play! We also carry an extensive field library of books for those who want to indulge their curiosity a little more. The fact that we’re ‘unplugged’ in the field allows everyone to relax and be a kid again.

We are also known for our great food. When we have families on our trips, we make a point of finding out kids’ favourite foods, and then serving it, so everyone can enjoy themselves. After all, a well fed kid makes a happy parent, makes a great family vacation!

So if you’re looking for a unique way to enjoy some time with your family, get a bit of fresh air, and discover the beauty of the ocean from a new perspective, consider a family adventure vacation with Batstar Adventure Tours. We’ll look after all the details (we also offer accommodation in Port Alberni) so everyone in the family can go home rested and rejuvenated!

We're located in Port Alberni on Highway 4 - the Pacific Rim Highway. Across the road is Clutesi Marina, where fishing boats are launched to go out the Alberni Inlet to the open Pacific Ocean. Some of our sea kayaking day trips start from here. We rent Seaward sea kayaks and Rocky Mountain Bicycles. Shuttle service for Log Train Trail. Batstar is surrounded by walking trails along the Somass River and the paved trails along Kitsuksis Dyke. This is all part of an estuary where you can see all sorts of bird life and the occasional Black Bear. 5 species of Salmon swim in the Somass. Grab lunch from Batstar Cafe & Picnic and sit on the benches and relax by the river.
