Level 1 Kayak Skills-Desolation Sound

Overview

This 3-day instructional kayak tour, departing from Desolation Sound Resort in Okeover Inlet, is ideal for aspiring kayakers wanting to develop their paddling and camping skills. Desolation Sound’s waters will allow you to effortlessly paddle past rocky islands and through narrow passages.

We’ll be setting up our base-camp for two nights on a scenic location, Hare Point or Feather Cove. The second day we’ll ‘travel light’ into the ‘heart of Desolation Sound’ and we’ll be surrounded by the immense natural beauty, BC’s largest provincial marine park has to offer. Often, we’ll be followed by seals and sometimes we even encounter some of the whales that visit this area. In addition to the spectacular Sea-to-Sky scenery, swimming or snorkeling in these waters is an extra bonus to your amazing camping and kayaking adventure!
