Sea Kayaking with Orcas - No Experience Required


April 27, 2004 - Port McNeill, British Columbia. There is no better way to encounter marine wildlife than from a kayak. Kayaking with orcas is an experience beyond description. Northern Lights Expeditions (NLE) has specialized in wildlife encounters by kayak for 22 years, and they offer three different options in accommodations and comfort: camp-based trips, lodge-based trips, and private yacht charters.

"Few encounters between people and wildlife are more entrancing than those with wild orcas in their home waters, and our area is the best place on earth to experience these encounters," says Northern Lights' founder, David Arcese.

Northern Lights has specialized in this mode of travel longer than anyone else in North America, and offers three choices for trip accommodations that are sure to please any adventure traveler. Camps are specially located in the heart of orca waters and are often visited by orcas and other wildlife. Guests will find the finest camping equipment available and every effort is made to ensure their safety and comfort.

For those who would like an additional measure of comfort, lodge-based trips include staying at a 4-star wilderness lodge secluded on an island in the middle of orca territory. Sea kayaking day trips are taken in the same orca-rich waters as NLE's other adventures. In the evening guests return to private cabins and baths, a soak in the hot tub, and an excellent gourmet dinner prepared by an onsite chef. These are the finest wilderness accommodations on the British Columbia coast.

Northern Lights' private, live aboard yacht, the Spirit Bear, provides guests the ultimate combination of luxury and wilderness encounters. This specially designed vessel includes luxurious on-board amenities and a private guide to enhance the enjoyment of exploring the wonders of the Inside Passage. Spirit Bear features include customizable itineraries and limitless sea kayaking opportunities, as well as marine and wildlife viewing right from the deck.
