kayak adventure tours on Vancouver Island
Bored starring at your boots while stumbling through the forest hiking?
Imagine a unique vacation and experience one of our extraordinary multi-day kayak trips. Paddle through a world-renowned kayak destination on Vancouver Island. Our trips are suited for beginners and intermediate paddlers alike.
All of our Clayoquot Sound kayak adventure tours depart from the scenic fishing village of Tofino, where we offer you a diverse blend of open coast beach camping and island lodge-based accommodation.
Right after a brief introduction to sea kayaking and the specifics of the environment, you will begin to enjoy a true Canadian outdoor experience with long fjord-like inlets along this rugged Pacific coastline of Vancouver Island. During our excursion, you will observe remote sand-fringed coves and miles of deserted white sand beaches.
Clayoquot Sound is home to a vast and varied number of mammals and marine-based wildlife that you are likely to encounter in our unobtrusive kayaks. Be prepared to witness black bears, sea and river otters, seals, sea lions, eagles, coastal wolves, orcas, gray and humpback whales, shorebirds and a variety of other sea creatures going about their daily routine of survival.
Experience the ultimate 'summer getaway', minus the sore back from lugging a backpack, where your sea kayak will carry all your gear. Take amazing pictures of this incredible place and its abundant animals. Land on isolated beaches that are only accessible by a kayak and enjoy the community of a campfire with new friends …it’ll be fabulous!
Included in our kayak adventures are: all meals and light snacks, first class single and double Delta Sea kayaks, paddles, spray skirts, safety equipment and all camping gear - only bring clothes and a sleeping back! Group sizes are min. 4 - max. 8 persons. Minimum age 10 years.
Vargas Island Kayak Adventure at ‘The Vargas Inn’ (3 Days *)
Vargas Island is our favourite destination in this kayaking paradise of Clayoquot Sound! With this lodge-based adventure, we’ll show you why we think so.
We are excited to introduce you to a simply amazing treasure. Located on the Pacific Coast, this wild lagoon offers open ocean paddling alongside white sand beaches and in comparison, the Vargas Island’s east coast features all the advantages of a quiet inlet.
This kayak adventure will give you the luxury and freedom of choice. Once at our nightly destination, you can join in one of the various kayaking excursions we will organize according to weather conditions and group preferences.
Feel free to read a book, take a stroll on the beach, partake in an outstanding spa experience in the beachfront wood-fired cedar sauna, relax with some sunset wildlife watching or, if you wish, improve your kayaking skills with an impromptu lesson from your guide…….
Experience the freedom of Vancouver Island’s West Coast!
This tour includes two nights accommodation at the ‘funky rustic’ Vargas Inn.

Meares Island Circumnavigation (3 days)
Meares Island is the heart of Clayoquot Sound region, north of Tofino. It is also home to Opitsaht, the main village of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations.
In a 3-day kayak & camping dream, this adventure tour will lead you around Meares, skirting peek-a-boo reefs, fog-shrouded islands and shallow tidal channels surrounded by ancient rainforests. It is simply a remainder of this unique and stunning environment.
This kayak tour has been specifically designed for absolute beginners or kayakers with minimal experience paddling in tidal currents. For the entire trip we will remain in the protection of the sheltered inlet, void of huge swells or the need to launch off beaches in strong surf.
