We make it easy
for you to enjoy any of our adventures. Most of our guests will
be having their first sea kayaking experience.
The Area - Vancouver Island, British Columbia
The Vancouver
Island, British Columbia coast is one of the most rugged and dramatic
on earth, and one of the finest sea kayaking areas anywhere. Heavily
forested islands and mountains are laced with thousands of miles
of intricate waterways. It is a sea kayaking paradise, and our sea
kayak tours are designed to offer you the very best that this region
has to offer.
See detailed maps of our
trip area.
The Trips
Inside Passage sea kayaking trips begin in Port McNeill, near the northeastern end of Vancouver Island. From there, we explore the islands and waterways within a 25-mile radius. Orca encounters here are very common. We have two Inside Passage options; our Wildlife Discovery and Orca Humpback Odyssey tours.
|
|
| Wild Orca Adventure trips take place in the best area in the world to see orcas and other whales in the wild. These trips will focus on whale watching from camp and our kayaks, in the finest orca waters on earth. |  |
Mothership Voyages are boat-based trips that wander among BC's Inside Passage. Guests can kayak any time they choose and eat, sleep, travel and relax in comfortable accommodations on board. We can help you find the right boat for your needs. |
 |
| Baja Vacations Occasionally we offer special Baja vacations, such as our 25th Anniversary Mothershop adventure in 2007. We spent 6 days kayaking, snorkeling, hiking and cruising around the warm, wildlife rich waters of Baja aboard a 90' yacht. We post these kinds of special trips about 8 months in advance of departure dates. |  |
| Grizzly Watching excursions are a great add-on to any of our primary trips. These one day boat-based adventures focus on sightings of brown and black bears and other land mammals along the coast of the Great Bear Wilderness, British Columbia. |  |
| Whale Watching day trips are a great addition to any of our sea kayaking adventures. These one day boat-based trips are aboard a 53' whale watching vessel with one of the most experienced skippers in the region. The focus is encountering orcas, humpback whales and minke whales in the wild. |  |

Northern Lights Expeditions is a sea kayak tour outfitter operating in the Johnstone Strait, Robson Bight, and Inside Passage areas of the Vancouver Island, British Columbia coast since 1983. We all want our sea kayaking adventures to be safe, comfortable, educational, and fun. That's why our sea kayaking tours are operated with expedition quality kayaking and camping equipment and the best sea kayak guides in the business. We don't operate sea kayak tours in areas like Baja or the Queen Charlotte Islands. These areas contain large expanses of open water, unsheltered from the sudden, prolonged winds that can occur, along with accompanying rough water. These areas are also more isolated from dependable weather information and rescue efforts. Our trip offerings are in the Inside Passage region of western Canada, which features great summer weather, incredible wildlife encounters and calm-water sea kayaking in sheltered waters, along with excellent Coast Guard support and dependable weather forecasts and information. We have run 3 to 7-day, introductory sea kayaking adventures for 25 years, since 1983. We run sea kayaking Mothership trips and grizzly bear watching in the Great Bear Rainforest. We also feature whale watching for orcas - killer whales -, humpback whales and minke whales. We commonly encounter whales, eagles, dolphins, sea lions, seals, and porpoises. The Inside Passage is sometimes mistakenly called the Inward Passage or Inner Passage. Our web site address is www.seakayaking.com.
