Our Base Camp in Johnstone Strait

Our base Camp in Johnston Strait is the starting point for many of our Kayaking adventures. Situated just a 25 minute boat ride from Telegraph Cove our remote base camp offers many unique features and is without a doubt one of the best base camp locations on Johnstone Strait:

• Safe well sheltered base camp even when the storms blow in
• Our Base Camp contains all required items from stoves, to a barbecue
• Great private campsites many with breath taking views
• Located from other Tour Groups to ensure privacy
• Great viewing areas to view Orcas, Minke Whales and other wildlife and of course take great photo's
• Great Bonfire area to enjoy supper, friendly chats, and make friends
  Fantastic Sunsets
• Hot Showers, and environmentally friendly washrooms
• Speakers to listen to the Whale calls
• Great Salmon fishing around our base camp. We have even made arrangements with a local resident to provide guided fishing charters during the summer months of July August and Sept.
• Hiking areas that are easily reached by kayaks

This is your home while you are on one of our tours. One of the most outstanding features on this tour is our permanently set up campsite. All tents are situated on platforms offering you a level of comfort and a dry home. We use high quality 4 person dome tents situated in various locations on a remote island to offer privacy, great views, shelter from wind and rain, and shade from the often hot summer afternoons. All our tents are within hearing distance of Orca Whale Blows, and of course the morning offer the sounds of birds, Sea Gulls, Seals and more.

 

 

Many of our guest enjoy the first few minutes of the day sitting outside their tents and getting a view of Cruise Ships passing in Johnstone Strait, or simply watching the morning mist burn off.

 

OUR BASE CAMP IS LOCATED ON A ISLAND

 

That's right our base camp island is well situated in Johnstone Strait and it  does offer many unique features not found with other tours. To start with our base camp is remote. While you will see other tours many do not venture to this island which is located just across from the famous rubbing beach of Johnstone Strait. This insures great privacy and the undivided attention of your tour guide.

 

 

Our base camp includes structures like cedar bathrooms, cedar shower stalls, sheltered cooking area and we are very kind to the environment.

 

This island offers many advantage points to view Johnstone Strait and other scenic wonders.

 

EVENINGS ARE SPECIAL IN JOHNSTONE STRAIT

 

With large supplies  of driftwood bonfires are a nightly tradition. Guest gather to chat, enjoy a glass of wine, or sip on a hot drink while others sit on driftwood seats catching the last glimpse of Orca's playing in the strait.

 

The sunsets can be quite incredible and as the sun fades away and the moon rises and you sit and listen to the night sounds of the Orca you are reminded that you are in a place of beauty and wilderness.
