Trip of a Lifetime!!! What an incredible adventure!!!! This was a trip we had wanted to do for a long time and I had such high expectations. The actual experience exceeded anything I could have dreamed. Our guides Brad and Josh did everything to elevate our experience. They did it all; kept us safe, optimized the paddles (we never paddled against the current...), cooked for us, and answer all our questions. We should also mention the supporting cast: the wildlife came to show their stuff. As with any adventure, nothing is guaranteed but we saw it all; Humpbacks, Orcas, Sea lions, Sea Otters, seals, dolphins, porpoises, bears (one swimming), 50 eagles (one that was climbing out of the water with a fish). We heard stories of the indigenous people that lived on the islands a long time ago. My favorite experience was seeing a huge 'bull' Orca appear out of the fog 10-15 meters in front of our kayak. There were another 30 plus memorable experiences...but I won't list them all. Kudos to Brad and Josh (and the excellent group with us) for making a dream come true!

Trip of a lifetime Our three day kayak adventure with North Island Kayak was a trip of a lifetime! Reid and Mia took excellent care of us - they were so experienced, knowledgeable, hardworking and prioritized our group's safety and comfort. Their attention to all the details made this experience extra special. The food was incredible, base camps were super comfortable and scenic, and we were lucky to experience so many amazing wildlife encounters (Orcas!!). It was a magical three days in one of the most stunning corners of Canada. Thank you Reid, Mia and North Island Kayak!

Unforgettable trip! Amazing trip! What an incredible experience!
I was so lucky: superb guides - Brad and Josh, a friendly group, good weather and lots of wildlife.
Brad and Josh went above and beyond to make our trip safe, comfortable and fun. They cooked great meals and are so knowledgeable about the area and kayaking. Never once did i feel unsafe.
The only drawback from the trip was the lack of maintenance of the compost toilets in some of the camps.

Great afternoon @ sea We had a great afternoon kayaking. Sea was flat, impressive surroundings. Our guide was well prepared and had a lot of facts ready for us.
We were lucky to see bears, see otters, bald eagles and even a humpback whale.
Only downside was the rain.

iNCREDIBLE ADVENTURE This has been a trip we have wanted to do for a long time and it did not disappoint. WHAT A TRIP! The peace, tranquility, and the great outdoors was incredible. Both our guides, Brad and Josh, were so knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and made the trip most memorable! The food was top notch and lots of it. Very tasty, excellent meals and snacks! They had organized each day according to tide and weather. Made for some incredible days on the water. We felt like we were on a wildlife safari. Who doesn't enjoy coffee on the first morning...sitting on a cliff overlooking a family of ORCAS swimming by. They were so close to the edge we could see into their eyes as they turned to look at us. WOW! Each day of our 5 day trip just kept getting better. Sea otter, porpoise, orcas, humpback whales, bears, bald headed eagles. Watching the Dall's porpoise play with the humpbacks was such a special time. They played around and finally the humpback had had enough. Out came his pectoral fin and down he slaps into the water. The base camps were very lovely. The cots with thermarest was excellent! I love Telegraph Cove area as it is such a picturesque boardwalk village. Thank you to Brad and Josh for making this an adventure of a lifetime! You two were fantastic and worked so well together. We will be back!
