Because we typically start our tours
early in the morning we suggest arriving
a day early so you can visit some
of the local attractions, organize
your gear, and get a good nights rest.
When we return, it's also nice to
take a shower and repack your gear
before heading home or off on another
adventure. So we recommend making
a hotel or B&B reservation for
the evening before and after your
tour. Our tours leave from different
locations around Vancouver Island
so we've provided a list of local
accommodations near our tour departure
locations below.
Getting to Vancouver Island is very
easy. BC Ferries and Washington State
Ferries are the two largest ferry
systems in the world. There are also
several air carriers, bus services
and a rail service all of which may
be used to travel to and from many
destinations on Vancouver Island.
To help you decide on which is the
best method of travel for you we've
included links to all of these services
below. We hope you have fun planning
your west coast kayaking adventure
and remember, we would be happy to
help you plan any aspect of your travel.
