Planning a 2027 adventure with us? Here’s a little update! 🌊

If you’ve visited our website looking for 2027 dates & rates lately, you may have noticed that we’re a little behind in getting next year’s trips loaded into our booking system.

The good news: you don’t have to wait to start planning. While our 2027 trip dates aren’t available to book online just yet, we’d be more than happy to send them your way. We can also add you to our “first to contact” list, so you’ll be among the first to know when bookings open and can lock in your preferred trip dates.

⭐ Life between the tides is wild.⁠

Sea stars might look peaceful, but some can pry open a mussel and push their stomach outside their body to digest it. 🤯⁠

And they're only one of the incredible animals adapted to life in the intertidal zone, a place that can go from completely underwater to exposed to sun, wind and air in a matter of hours.⁠

🐚 Mussels anchor themselves with super-strong threads⁠
🦀 Barnacles are actually crustaceans⁠
🌸 Anemones are relatives of jellyfish⁠
🌊 Tide pools become tiny temporary oceans at low tide⁠

Life here has evolved to handle waves, drying out, temperature swings and constantly changing conditions.⁠

Next time the tide goes out, take a closer look, there's an entire world hiding between the rocks.

There are two ways to get a photo like this on our tours:

🌀 Get lucky enough to have an orca pass close to shore while you’re watching from land.

📷 Bring a telephoto lens and capture the moment from a respectful distance, whether you’re in your kayak or on shore.

A close-up photo doesn’t mean you need to be close to the whale.

Did you know there are legal minimum approach distances for vessels, including kayaks, around marine mammals in Canada?

• 200m from all killer whales in Pacific waters
• 1,000m from Southern Resident Killer Whales in certain areas off the coast of BC
• 200m from whales, dolphins and porpoises with calves or while resting
• 100m from all other whales, dolphins and porpoises

A long lens, a little luck, and plenty of space for wildlife 🌊🐋

What’s not to love about life at Base Camp? 🐋🌲

Whales passing by camp, intertidal treasures waiting to be discovered, countless eagles and harbour seals lounging in the sun. Add in cozy raised canvas tents, freshly cooked meals, sturdy sea kayaks and knowledgeable (and FUN!) guides, and you’ve got a pretty special way to experience the wild coast of Northern Vancouver Island, BC.

Come join us at Base Camp sometime. We think you’ll love it here. 💙

Paddle the maze of channels and islands of God’s Pocket Provincial Marine Park and western Queen Charlotte Strait, moving camp as we explore this spectacular stretch of coastline.

This is sea otter country. 🦦 Spend your days paddling remote shorelines and keeping watch for otters, humpback whales, seabirds and other coastal wildlife, then settle into camp each evening.

Our last Gwaii Haanas trip of the year takes off in just two days, which means our final soak at G̱andll K’in Gwaay.yaay (Hotspring Island) is just around the corner.

What an incredible season it’s been in one of the most remote and beautiful places to paddle in BC. Each year we return, we leave with new impressions, lasting memories, and lessons learned.

Until next year, Gwaii Haanas! 🌊 (send us a message if you want to learn more about our Haida Gwaii expeditions)
