Unforgettable adventure! We had an awesome adventure with NIK in September 2021. The guides were excellent! They were organized, knowledgeable and congenial. The equipment and camp set ups were all great and the food was amazing- nice hot meals that exceeded expectations in a camp style setting. We would highly recommend this tour to the adventurous hearty type of traveler! Seeing orcas up close was the highlight of our trip.

Great afternoon. Great guide. Great company. My Husband & I did a half day tour Sept 15 with Shailee.
The perfect guide that kept us safe through a windy return, however a lovely sunny day.
Will do again for sure.
Shailee enjoy your fall & winter.

Half day tour Fun experience! Our guide Shailee was perfect, telling us a lot of interesting facts about the surrounding nature. Even if the weather was a bit against us, we managed to see quite a lot of cool things anyway. Prepare for a nice workout, the next day my muscles was hurting a bit haha!

Half day tour maryl-street,
We're so glad that you enjoyed the tour despite the weather being a little less than favorable for you. Even so, we're thrilled to hear that you were able to have fun and to see such a variety of wildlife 🙂 As for the workout, kayak is a sport unlike any other. But paddle on and your worries will be gone 😉 - Andrew S
Kayak safari! Amazing area! Had an amazing four day kayak camping trip with our amazing guide Bree. She was super knowledgeable about the area and made sure that everyone in the group was comfortable in the kayaks and on the water. We saw soooo much cool stuff!!! Humpback whales, two huge pods of Orcas, seals, sea lions, porpoise, dolphins, and tons of cool birds. Also a couple of Black Bears. It was such a wonderful trip! Truly a trip of a lifetime!

5-day Guided tour “Our family of four returned last week from a fabulous 5-day kayaking experience. From start to finish, the NIK team provided a seamless, truly memorable vacation. Our excellent guide, Vince, provided expert knowledge and skills that made us feel completely safe, particularly when we needed to cross the more challenging waters of the Johnstone Strait. It was reassuring to know that there was a plan B, C, & D lined up if our course needed to change due to conditions. Our group of six was fortunate to have Vince share his knowledge of the rich indigenous history and diverse marine life in the region. Vince worked good-humouredly from predawn to lights-out in order to create the most satisfying experience. We spotted a variety of wildlife, including humpback whales, orcas, Pacific white-sided dolphins, harbour seals, and Steller sea lions. The quiet surroundings of our camps that overlooked Blackfish Sound allowed us to hear the near-constant blows of feeding humpbacks, and the thunderous crashes when they breached at night. We recommend North Island Kayak whole-heartedly, and hope to be able to kayak with them again soon.”

Enjoying Nature Great day on the water kayaking with our very competent and entertaining guide Shale. We enjoyed looking at many of the sea creatures in the crystal clear waters and getting lots of education about the sea life from Shale. Beautiful area to be enjoyed in any weather condition. Just need to be dressed for rain and cool weather should it be in store for your day in nature.
