Highlight of my summer! Absoluely amazing 4-day kayak tour with Marc and Mia. Both guides were oustanding. They were very knowledgeable, supportive, and placed our safety first, followed closely by enjoyment. The boats were comfortable, stable and tracked well. The camps were in beautiful locations, the tents were spacious, the beds comfortable, and the food was outstanding. Much to my chagrin I gained weight. Did I mention whales? There's nothing like waking up in the morning in your tent to the sound of humpbacks btreathing just offshore. Thank you NIK! I'll be back. …

Fantastic - Day Trip Just finished a day tour a few days ago. First Telegraph cove is a great location to Kayak because of the scenery and likelihood of seeing whales. While seeing whales is hit and miss we were very lucky to catch multiple pods of Orca's. The key thing is our guide, Liv (sp?) knew there were some whales sighted and mentioned that us early in the trip. She was able to take advantage of that insight (info) and maneuver us to get great views (while still being safe). On safety, it seemed to be top of her mind also as we had to cut our trip a bit short due to heavy winds starting to role in... and that was the way it should be .. with novices like us …

The apex of summer We set out for the half-day (4hour) kayak trip at 1pm. The clouds vanished and we found ourselves in for a glorious afternoon. Our guide, Reed, was knowledgeable, competent, and friendly - he helped to make for a great afternoon. We saw a humpback whale in the distance, two pods of orcas quite close up, and then a variety of other creatures like old growth trees, sea urchins, and bald-headed eagles. Best afternoon! …

Amazing Experience I did the half day kayak with Mia and Nadia. They were amazing. So friendly and knowledgeable. Their instructions were easy follow. Definitely worth the trip! Thanks ladies. The scenery was beautiful and we lucked out with a nice low tide. Lots to see.

2 hours of educational fun Todd our guide was well versed on safety, local flora and fauna. A fun 2 hours - especially for children!

Great paddle showcasing Beautiful BC! Thank you to Todd who led an informative and entertaining 2-hour kayak tour for my husband, myself and our 19yr old daughter out of Telegraph Cove. We encountered several curious Sea Lions and a bald eagles but alas no whales nearby (tho we did see one spout about 3km away). The spectacular beauty of the pristine coastline and serenity of the sea were the real superstars today. The light rain at the end really made us feel at home! Would like to return one day for a multi day expedition which may yield more possibilities to see more wildlife and marine life. Best of luck to you Todd!! …

Morning trip along the shore of Telegraph Cove Thank to our guides Nadia and Mia for the amasing morning trip that we had, that was really awesome and even the weather was on our side. I recommand North Island Kayak to anybody who want to try kayaking for the 1ers time or for those who just loved kayaking, go to Telegraph Cove... …

North island kayak is a can’t miss!! Just went yesterday for a day tour with Nadia and Vince. They were amazing and very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna including the importance of the bull kelp forests for supporting the ecosystem. We saw lots of wildlife including a black bear and her cub, lots of orcas, and finding and holding sea urchins we found in the kelp forest. All around it was a fantastic day and I HIGHLY recommend it. If you want to experience BC the way it’s meant to be, kayaking in telegraph cove is a can’t miss! …

Very rare to have a trip this amazing! Can’t say enough good things about our 6 day - 5 night kayak and camping trip with North Island Kayak. We did luck out with the weather, wind, tides and plentiful wildlife, but the things within NIK’s control were excellent as well. The food was unbelievable as we had fresh and delicious meals the entire time (no freeze dried camping meals here). Our route and itinerary was very well planned out. The one thing that really made the trip was our guides Al and Vince. These guys were so easy to travel with, fun to be around and they worked really hard doing all the camp chores so that we could just spend our time exploring and relaxing. These guys were the key to how awesome our trip was and if we were to go on another trip we would definitely ask for them. …

Whale of a time We had a great tour with Mia earlier this week. Luckily we were the only two booked on the tour, which made things pretty speedy (we’re experienced kayakers). Mia knew loads about all the local wildlife, sea creatures and even the native plants and lichen. We learned some new things about whales too and were lucky enough to get to see several of them swimming in the strait! It was fantastic. …
