Trip description

Majestic Ocean Kayaking Day Trip to Barkley Sound

Thank you for your interest in our Barkley Sound kayaking day trip.
The tour starts off with a 45 minute drive in our comfortable 15 passenger van along with your guide and gourmet picnic lunch towing our trailer load of kayaks. On route to the launch site guests will have the opportunity to take in the scenery of the area, possibly some wildlife along the Maggie Lake forest road, and then Toquart Bay beach/kayak launch site.

Toquart Bay beach is located in a sheltered bay with wonderful views of the inner islands of Barkley Sound. Our guide prepares everyone for a day of adventure. Kayaks are set up for each person, seats adjusted, pedals adjusted. Lessons are given and safety concerns and procedures are explained.

The guide leads the tour and is in charge of safety at all times. Clients having difficulty paddling will receive extra assistance, those capable and confident will enjoy the tour, the ocean and the scenery. We travel as a group and stay close together, if there is a slow paddler we must wait for them, strong paddlers must stay with the group.

After a few hours in the morning we will stop on one of the nearby sandy beaches for a gourmet buffet lunch. Build your own bagel sandwich with a selection of; black forest ham, 2 different kinds of cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, home made cookies, fruit, hot drinks or juice.

As the day progresses, wildlife such as eagles, shore birds, sea lions, seals, mink, river otters, and possibly whales will be sighted. We will weave in and out of the many islands and get in close to look at everything.

We will return to our launch site at around 3:30 in the afternoon, from there we will drive back to Ucluelet with an estimated arrival time of 5:00 pm.

What to bring on the tour:
Sandals, Hat, Sunscreen, Sunglasses, Camera, binoculars. Any extra clothing that you may wish to bring. Quick dry or light comfortable pants that you can roll up. You will need to step into the water when you are getting into the kayak. (We will give you a dry bag to protect your belongings from getting wet).
