TRIP REPORT: May 30th-June 2nd Custom Desolation Sound Expedition w/ Malcolm 🌊✨️⁠
⁠
Warm weather and empty seas. I could not believe we had Desolation Sound all to ourselves, but that's what you get when you come for a trip before the season kicks off!

Aside from a few harbour seals in the bays we seldom saw another soul.

Thanks so much to this wonderful family for joining us, you were a treat to guide!

We've been working on something special this spring...

Introducing: Small Actions, Big Waves. 🌊

Over the years, we've received countless comments from guests (and staff!) about the lasting impact our experiences can have when it comes to marine conservation and caring for the coast.

We don't take this lightly— we know these meaningful conversations can create ripples that everyday people carry with them into their own lives.

Inspired by the guests who are looking to connect more deeply with the natural world around them, we are very excited to be offering a new citizen science program as part of our tour experiences in the Blackfish Sound + Johnstone Strait regions this summer.

All it takes is a ripple.
Together, we can create waves.

Head to the link below to learn more about how you can participate in these optional programs during your adventure with us!

Happy from Spirit of the West Adventures!💧🩵
⁠
2026's Action Theme is: Strong Marine Protected Areas for Our Blue Planet 🌎️
⁠
Here at Spirit of the West Adventures, we view our sea kayaking tours as a vessel for good. Caring for the environment, wildlife, and local community is woven into every fibre of the experiences we offer, always with the intention of leaving places better than we found them.

One of the most integral ways we do this is by investing in the land, waters and people where we operate: supporting all the remarkable research, conservation, and reconciliation efforts that take place around northern Vancouver Island + beyond.
⁠
We hope our trips can continue to inspire a deep appreciation and awe for our oceans and those who call it home, raise awareness on issues marine ecosystems are facing, and create conversations + action surrounding climate solutions for years to come. ⁠
