Johnstone Strait, 5 Days Sea Kayaking
We have a private campsite on Swanson Island featuring tent platforms which overlook Blackfish Sound. This site is allows us the best range of sea kayaking and nature viewing options for our guests.
Johnstone Strait is
located on the northeast coast of Vancouver Island
and is home of many family pods of Orcas (Killer
Whales). We start our season in Johnstone Strait in July. By September the crowds have thinned, the
weather tends to be excellent, and all we hear are
the blows of the Orcas and the lilting calls of the
Bald Eagles.
Although the area is famous for its whales, our guides are very knowledgeable
in the First Nations history and the local flora and fauna. Rather than chase
the whales (who travel at speeds up to 45km/hr!), our guides plan the days
to give us the maximum chance to be near the Orcas if they are in the area,
while ensuring that you experince in the Strait to its fullest potential.
