The Central Coast of mainland British Columbia is an amazing sea kayaking destination. It’s a remote area and best suited for paddlers who have paddled in the Broken Group Islands, Clayoquot Sound or other multi-day sea kayaking trips and feel very comfortable in a sea kayak.

We tend to put on double the distance of a typical day in the Broken Group Islands. It is likely we will have a few 15-20 nautical mile days. However, when we get to a beautiful spot, and there are lots of them here, we'll spend a few days on a beach and hang out.

The long beaches are great to walk and go exploring on.

Cost: $2,689 CAN/person (group pricing)
