Brilliant Summer of 2020 We went on a 4 day kayaking trip with Our guide was Dan. The trip was honestly one the most memorable and magical trips I’ve ever had. We saw humpbacks, orcas and all the other wildlife telegraph cove has to offer. Our guide Dan was phenomenal. Having someone with us who has such a genuine interest and love of what he does made our trip more special. The food was sensational and the camp areas were great also. 10/10 loved it. Ps we miss you Dan!

Incredible trip with Bree and amazing staff overall at North Island Kayak Had an amazing three-day orca trip guided by Bree! Bree was an amazing guide on all fronts -- she was extremely knowledgeable about the whales and other fauna, flora and mushrooms; she also was excellent with the currents and keeping the group happy (and she was an amazing cook, especially the salmon dinner and hot salmon melt sandwiches after a cold paddle the next morning). She knows where to go -- we saw whales every day, including a whole pod about 10 m offshore the first evening. I cannot recommend her or North Island Kayak enough.

Multi-day Ocean Kayak Tour I went on a multi-day ocean kayaking trip last week, organised by North Island Kayak. It was a fantastic adventure. In particular, our guide - Tristan - was phenomenal and made the trip that much more enjoyable. He was knowledgeable about the environment and put us in a great position each day to see whales and other wildlife. The right guide can 'make or break' a trip like this and Tristan was easy-going and attentive to the kayakers, in equal measure; he made sure everyone was having a good time. I normally don't hold out high hopes for cuisine when I'm camping but Tristan handled all of the cooking and 'knocked it out of the ballpark' every time. I highly recommend Tristan and North Island Kayak.

Exceptional Guiding Our guide Bree was wonderful. Her expertise, local knowledge and ecological insight made the trip. We highly recommend her and North Island Kayak.

North island kayaks rule! I went on a 3 day kayak trip with our amazing guide, Bree Roberts. She was so knowledgeable of the whales, plants and indigenous communities. She was fun and kept us all very safe. We also had incredible meals, celebrated my birthday with chocolate cake, and had plenty of time for rest and relaxation. I loved it and want to go back again and again.

Ocean Kayak Tour Fabulous trip with Guide Bree Roberts - smooth safe kayaking with a very thorough guide - safety and geared to older ladies who like adventure! Bree’s personally and cooking were 10/10. Highly recommend! Good company - awesome tents, food and we saw killer and humpback whales along with porpoises! I felt safe and enjoyed the days on the ocean

Great Week My 6 day trip with Bree was great. The group was small enough to cater the trip to us as we went, and what a time it was. I lost count of the whales we saw, not to mention the bear and countless fish.

Awe inspiring 3 day paddle! My wife and I spent 3 great days paddling Blackfish sound and Johnstone Strait with our very capable guides Bree and Thon(sp). We had many mammal encounters, but the scenery and the intertidal sealife was also amazing to see.

Thon was a hardworking guide, and Bree was an upbeat and very knowledgeable guide and host, passing on a huge amount of local knowledge about specifics of the sealife in the area. As a result I was able to get some great pictures of the underwater shoreline creatures.

A very memorable adventure, and have already had a friend sign up for a trip on our recommendation.

Great weekend with the lads 4 friends and I went on a 4 day tour with North Island Kayak last week (Sept 2020). We all agreed that the weekend was probably the best weekend any of us have had in 2020.

We saw plenty wildlife and marine life. The campsites which we stayed at were both remote and extremely well equipped. We enjoyed freshly cooked meals throughout our trip and a few beers by the campfire was the perfect way to end the day.

Our tour guide, Tristan, was very knowledgeable on the local area as well as the marine life. Tristan was extremely friendly and greatly added to the fun which our group had.

Overall, a fantastic trip!
