Sea Kayaking Tours Broken Group Islands

About the Islands
The Broken Group Islands are a group of incredibly unique islands located
in Barclay Sound off the west coast of Vancouver Island. There are
approximately twenty five large islands with many smaller islands. Each
island is unique in its terrain, its beaches and its campgrounds. To
protect
the fragility of
the islands flora and fauna there are designated campsites. The bathroom
facilities are something to see!! Some campsites are right on the sandy beach
while some are nestled under the towering trees of the forest. The paddling in
this area is unique. There are many channels and coves
to explore with an
abundant wealth of marine life. Sea lions, whales, seals and porpoises may be
our sea companions for this adventure.

Itinerary:
Orientation:
On the evening before your
tour we will treat you to coffee or tea and go over any last minute trip
details and answer any questions you may have. This will be very brief
so you have your evening to complete
your trip preparations or to explore Port Alberni.
Day 1

We will meet to take the Lady Rose
ferry to Sechart Lodge. From there the Toquart water taxi will
deliver us and our boats to a nearby island. We will have time to set up
camp, have a hearty dinner and then go exploring with an evening paddle
to nearby islands. We will have a warming driftwood fire and some toasty
hot chocolate before settling in for the night.

Day 2
Today will be a day for discovering
the amazing diversity that the Broken Group Islands has to offer. After
a nourishing breakfast preparations will be made for a day paddling trip
to explore. There are some amazing beaches for swimming or snorkeling;
the tidal pools provide a wealth of sea life in a micro environment. If
you are interested in fishing we can arrange for you to purchase a
fishing license before we leave Port Alberni. We may have to load our
boats with driftwood from a small beach for our evening fire before we
return for dinner and a relaxing evening. Meals

Day 3

Wake up to a refreshing stretch before breakfast this
morning! Each morning
feel free to join us for some light yoga stretches to prepare for the
day's paddle and to breathe the fresh sea air. Hot coffee and a
delicious morning meal will prepare you for visiting some of the more
remote Broken Group Islands. Visiting the sea lions on Wouwer Island or
paddling to the sea arch on Effingham Island will be a highlight of your
visit. Our dinner this evening will be a celebration of your trip
with us. We hope you are hungry!
Meals B,L,D
Day 4

After sleeping in and having a
leisurely breakfast our group can help decide our
agenda for today. We can examine our maps to decide which islands we
would like to paddle to and explore. We might recommend visiting the
Tiny Islands for a swim from the white shell beaches or a paddle around
Nettle Island to lay on the beach in the hot sun. Whatever we decide,
relaxing will be important.
Listen to the distant howling of wolves as you snuggle down in your warm
sleeping bag.

Day 5
Today
is our departure day. We will have everything ready for the water taxi
to pick us up midmorning to take us back to Sechart. From there we will
take the Lady Rose ferry back to Port Alberni. We want to leave early in
the day so you can plan your travel arrangements. Meals
