ITINERARY

Arrive in the coastal town of Campbell River. Check-in time at your hotel is 3:00 pm. If you arrive early, take a stroll along the waterfront or visit Elk Falls for a scenic hike.

Start the day with a continental breakfast before embarking on a motorized boat wildlife tour.

  • June–August 22: Half-day wildlife tour by zodiac or covered boat.
  • August 25–September 12: Full-day grizzly bear viewing tour 
Travel by boat through the Discovery Passage and the infamous Seymour Narrows, where porpoises, dolphins, and whales are often spotted. Upon arrival at camp, settle into your wilderness accommodations before an afternoon kayak orientation and your first paddle.
Spend a full day paddling through killer whale habitat while listening for orca blows. Your guides will share insights into the resurgence of wildlife in this remote area and the ongoing conservation efforts. The day includes a visit to a stunning waterfall, where the adventurous can take a dip in glacial waters.
Cross Johnstone Strait to the island opposite camp, keeping an eye out for black bears and their cubs foraging along the shore. After a day of paddling, unwind with a traditional native sauna, a perfect way to end the day. 
Enjoy one last early-morning paddle before soaking up the final moments of your wilderness experience on the beach. Travel back to Campbell River, where you’ll check into your hotel in the afternoon.
After a restful night at the coastal hotel, check-out is at 11:00 am as you conclude your adventure.
