Unlike traditional
camping based kayaking, our mothership takes us into remote places
with our fast and stable double kayaks carried on board. We explore
the remote wilderness areas of coastal British Columbia rarely visited
by other kayakers. With our vessel's speed and range we are able
to paddle in the more pristine areas which do not have natural campsites
… and then cruise the beautiful inlets and anchor in quiet
little coves.
There is no
typical day on one of our mothership sea kayaking trips - every
day is varied and different. Bring along a camera though to record
the colors, reflections and breathtaking views you encounter as
you paddle quietly across the calm waters of one of our magnificent
fiords. Weave your way among tiny islets, exploring the shoreline
close up in a manner which can only be achieved in a shallow craft.
Depending on which area Columbia III is based you'll be treated
to fantastic displays of wildlife; birds, seals, porpoises, orcas,
black bears and deer. Onshore you'll be able to hike into the rain-forest
or explore the shore life at a clamshell beach.
Sea
Kayak in British Columbia … with Mothership Adventures …
|
Mothership
Adventures … join us for sea kayaking adventures on Vancouver
Island, Desolation Sound, the Broughton Archipelago and Johnstone
Strait, and the Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia.
Along
with our qualified naturalist guides we'll kayak though beautiful
glacial fed waters, amongst lushly forested islands dotted with
ancient First Nations village sites, while observing orca killer
whales, dolphins, harbour seals, black bear, bald eagles and deer.
When the day ends, we'll return to the warmth and security of our
mothership, The Columbia III, and begin an evening of gourmet food,
conversation, laughter and relaxation. 
Surrounded
by the towering snow-capped Coast Mountains and the lush evergreen
slopes of East Redonda Island, Desolation Sound is situated in a
truly spectacular setting. With its exceptionally warm waters and
numerous islands, bays, and lagoons, it provides a perfect sea kayak
experience. The Broughton Archipelago and Johnstone Strait Tour,
set in the home of British Columbia's resident orca population,
provides the ideal combination of coastal wilderness kayaking and
spectacular wildlife viewing. We can easily travel to the untouched
corners of the Broughton Archipelago (usually inaccessible by expedition
kayakers) and position ourselves in 'the right place at the right
time' for the most unforgettable wildlife encounters. 
Set
in the heart of British Columbia's wild central coast, our Kayak
Tour to the Great Bear Rainforest offers some of the most stunning
sea kayaking in the world. The diversity of landscapes, abundance
of wildlife, and unlimited paddling routes makes the Great Bear
Rainforest a truly superb sea kayaker's destination. Each day builds
on the last as an understanding and appreciation of the significance
of this untouched wilderness evolves. The Great Bear Rainforest
is a place you will never forget. Instead you will long for more.
