The Queen Charlotte Islands is the westernmost part of Canada and paddling in Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site is a highlight of every sea kayakers career. Everything seems bigger in the Queen Charlottes. We recommend this trip to people who have already taken a multi-day wilderness trip.

In the Queen Charlottes, we partner with Moresby Explorers. We've known the great crew at Moresby Explorers since 1996. One of their senior guides and one of ours make this trip unique and very special. They know almost every great spot in the park to camp.

Cost: $2,989 CAN/person (group pricing)

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.
