Remote Tofino Kayaking Tour
Explore the beauty and wildlife that lies outside the harbour as you embark on an intimate guided kayaking trip through the quiet waters of Tofino Inlet, home of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation.
A 25-minute scenic boat ride from our marina will take you right into the heart of Clayoquot Sound, a stunning Unesco Biosphere Reserve. Our remote floating kayak dock offers incredible natural beauty and acts as the perfect kayaking adventure home base. Your kayak guide will dive into the kayak plan and safety briefing before helping you into a single or double kayak to explore the beautiful coastline waters in search for wildlife.
Kayaking allows for a unique perspective on the west coast waters and the ability to explore narrow passages as you sit only inches above the Pacific Ocean. Wildlife encounters range from harbor seals, eagles, black bears, and even the occasional family of orca whales.
