Kayak the realm of the Orca and Humpback Whales

Imagine beautiful, big white tents set against the backdrop of towering fir trees and the blues and greens of the ocean lapping at your doorstep. Revel in the sounds of silence, interrupted only by the occasional blow of passing whales or the songs of the birds as they wake with the sun. Enjoy extraordinary kayaking at the edge of the Broughton Archipelago in the heart of BC’s coastal paradise. Exclusive boat access delivers visitors to our private Swanson Island where our glamping basecamp is located. Spirit of the West Adventures is happy to introduce you to the newest and most beautiful kayaking and whale watching experience in British Columbia.

Our pristine eco-camp location we’ve secured is second-to-none in terms of scenery, access to excellent kayaking in the islands of the Broughton Archipelago, and of course, watching Canadian wildlife in some of the most productive waters on earth. Just off your doorstep you might see killer whales, humpback whales, eagles, porpoises, dolphins, and any number of incredible intertidal creatures. This really is the best place to camp and kayak with whales in BC.

We’ve been able to build a camp that truly defines the term “glamping”. The 10×12′ tents are 8′ high at the peak for walking in, and feature real beds handcrafted from local cedar by our team here on Quadra Island. Driftwood accents complete the coastal feel, and the crisp linens and warm duvets ensure comfort.

Another feature of this trip is that we don’t just travel by kayak. To help ensure you get the most wildlife sightings possible, we’re including a boat-based whale watching trip as well. You’ll spend several hours in a covered vessel getting further afield and exploring the waters of Blackfish Sound.

If you’ve ever thought about spending time in the realm of the whales, and pristine wilderness of the Pacific Northwest this comfortable trip might be just the one to get you out there.

Orca Dreams offers Canada’s first whale watching camp, with BC packages that include 4 days of luxury camping. Orca Dreams has twenty years of experience hosting people from around the world in the wildlife-rich waters of Johnstone Strait and Broughton Archipelago, off the east coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Watch surfacing humpback whales, pods of orcas, dolphins, eagles, sea lions or a curious seal pass by while sipping your morning coffee from your waterfront safari-style tent. Whale watch from camp or boat, while kayaking, surrounded by the rich wildlife of coastal BC.

Orca Dreams is situated within the traditional territory of the Mamalilikula-Qwe’Qwa’Sot’Em First Nation, on Compton Island on the edge of Blackney Pass, one of the most wildlife-rich marine ecosystems in the world. Blackney Pass connects Queen Charlotte Strait with Johnstone Strait where the strong currents churn up nutrients from deep below, feeding everything from small herring to the 40-ton humpback whales.

Blackney Pass is also one of the best places in North America to view Orcas – also known as Killer Whales – as they make their way to and from Johnstone Strait and the rubbing beaches of Robson Bight on Vancouver Island.
