Sea Kayak Tours for All Abilities

For beginners kayaking on Vancouver Island, we recommend the Broken Group Islands or the Gulf Islands. The Broken Group Islands are part of Pacific Rim National Park, and are largely undeveloped, with rich natural west coast rain forests and beaches. Our trips to the Broken Group Islands include deluxe camping and are either 6 or 7 days.

The Gulf Islands are more inhabited than the Broken Group Islands, and as a result the scenery is more pastoral and cottage like. Our Gulf Island trips are 2 or 3 day B&B based trips, in March, April and May.

For more advanced sea kayak trips on Vancouver Island, we recommend the Deer Group or Clayoquot Sound. Both trips include camping, and allow us to discover some breathtaking west coast wilderness settings. If you have at least one multiday sea kayaking trip before, you are likely comfortable enough in a kayak to come on one of these trips.

If you are interested in kayaking and whale watching BC, your best chance is with a trip with us to the Johnstone Strait. The orcas in this area are world famous, and awe inspiring when seen from a kayak. No previous sea kayaking experience is needed for our Johnstone Strait trips. They depart weekly in September, once the summer boat traffic in the area has subsided.

There are some wonderful destinations for sea kayaking on Vancouver Island, and we invite you to discover them with us on one of our fully guided trips.

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.
