Clayoquot Sound is a vast and
beautiful area, full of life. Whales, porpoises, eagles, deer,
black bears, and many interesting shorebirds thrive there. Gigantic
white sand beaches are waiting for you to explore them. An unforgettable
experience is to learn about the unique sea life while kayaking
through Clayoquot Sound.
Participants should be prepared
to paddle 4 to 6 hours per day with rest stops, travelling as
a group staying close together. We have tried to organize our
trips to satisfy both active adventurers and those looking for
a relaxing vacation. We hope you'll agree we've found the right
balance. Our itinerary is adjusted according to weather conditions
and to suit the needs of each group. Some hiking will be included
when we explore the islands. From the onset of the trip you will
be informed on how to use and care for the equipment, our equipment
is top of the line quality. This is a catered tour, we cook gourmet
meals including fresh seafood and salads (let us know if you
have any special dietary needs).
The evening before your tour
we would like you to meet us at 1167 Helen Road in Ucluelet.
Come and meet your guides, we will give you your dry bags to
put your clothes in and offer some packing advice.
Day one, we meet at 8:30 a.m.
We travel together to Tofino which is where we launch our kayaks
for the trip into Clayoquot Sound (you can drive your own vehicle
or catch a ride with us). Here we unload our equipment and start
packing the kayaks. We will offer packing tips to those that
require them. After an equipment orientation, lessons, and a
safety talk, we will begin paddling. Our arrival time at our
campsite for the 1st night will depend on the physical ability
of the group and weather conditions. Upon arrival, we will set
up our camp. Sometimes we keep our camp in one location for a
few days and do day-trips from the site, other times we may choose
to move the camp frequently during the trip.
We provide buffet style meals
similar to those listed below:
Breakfasts will be pancakes,
fruit salad, granola, yogurt. Eggs and fried potatoes. Warm apple
crisp made with oatmeal with milk or cream. Campstove perked
coffee, a wide selection of tea, hot chocolate, or juice.

smokie hot dogs, pita pockets loaded with veggies, burritos,
chips, crackers, salads.
Dinner on the first night will
be marinated grilled salmon and two types of salad. The second
night will be stir fried jumbo shrimp with steamed rice and lots
of veggies. The third night will be linguine with our famous
Majestic Kayaking smoked salmon cream cheese sauce.

to you a list of what to bring on the trip and a medical form.
The medical form must be completed and returned to us no later
than one week prior to the trip departure. A waiver of liability
must be signed by each participant before we depart on the tour.
