Sea Kayaking Desolation Sound- Overview
Desolation Sound is a sea kayakers paradise. Paddling amongst the towering
mountains of the British Columbia Coast Mountain range is a truly awe
inspiring adventure.
Desolation Sound has a Mediterranean climate
which makes it our favorite place to paddle in May, June early July and
September where you can count on having the best weather on the coast.
The Area
Carved
into the inaccessible wilderness of the Canadian mainland over the ages,
the soaring peaks of the coastal mountains tumble to the waters
edge in a jumble of river mouths and small islands, a perfect spot for
sea kayaking. The rugged terrain has stopped any road access into Desolation;
kayaks are the best way to visit this majestic and unspoiled area.
Kayaking Paradise
There
are few places on earth as stunningly beautiful as Desolation Sound. This
is kayaking trip where you spend more time looking up than looking down.
The calm waters make this ideal for first time
paddlers and the rugged mountian vistas make it suitable for anyone looking
to experience some of Mother nature's most amazing works of art.
Camping
and Dining
Our campsites In Desolation Sound are simply
stunning. Most of our campsites will be on small Islands in the heart
of Desolation Sound. 6000 ft peaks will tower over us giving us the feeling
of being rather small.
Our food is fresh wholesome and local when possible. Our shellfish, salmon or Halibut come from Quadra Island fishermen. And our guides know how to prepare the meals just right.
Other activities include hiking, kayaking skills
development, shellfish harvesting, and lots of opportunity to just kick
back and enjoy mother nature at it's best.
