Your appetite fueled, you'll feast on a three-course gourmet beach picnic including wild salmon. And to complete your big adventure, you'll return to Vancouver at sunset by float plane. What a magical way to end your nature trip to the Gulf Islands.
The Gulf Islands are protected from the open ocean, not far from Vancouver. The rocky reefs, lush kelp beds and protected bays are home to myriad marine invertebrates, fish, and sea mammals. The marine life here is among the most diverse in the world's temperate waters.
Seals, river otters and sea lions are often observed in the Gulf Islands, and there are rare sightings of killer whales, harbor seals and Dall's porpoise. Colonies of gulls and cormorants are scattered throughout the area, which also contains several breeding sites for bald eagles, oyster catchers and pigeon guillemots.
Qualified and knowledgeable guides will help spot the wildlife around you on your sea-kayaking adventure, and make sure your trip is safe and memorable. Note that kayaking experience or fitness are not required for this trip. The maximum number of participants on this adventure is 6.
