This photo was taken by co-owner Christine Portmann. She broke of from the main group to get started on dinner back at base camp. As you can see it was a photo op all the way home.

Johnstone Strait has many moods, from dead calm to blustery gales ~ each as beautiful as the other.

Killer whales are the star attraction in Johnstone Strait. Seeing them from the kayak is one of the greatest experiences to behold.

We also see the whales from camp, from the boat ride to our camp as well from high up on the cliffs from researchers station at Eagle Eye.

A little warm up before a day on the water is a good idea. This photo was taken at camp with the beautiful Tsitika Valley as our back drop.

All level or paddlers join our tours. From 12 to 80 year olds have enjoyed our camp over the years.

This is where the group hangs out when the killer whales pass by camp.

 We also have a high powered spotting scope for you to use to get a little closer to the wildlife from our perch on the mossy bluffs.

The cedar tree is the most important Resource to the Kwakuitl people indigenous to this area. This large cedar can be viewed on our hike to visit the researchers.

The orcas are matrilineal. Like elephants, the oldest female is the head of the family. A male will spend its whole life with it's paternal mother, rarely getting out of vocal range.

 We will be stopping several times a day to get out and have a stretch, lunch, visit a site of interest or relieve ourselves.

 If at anytime you need a break, just let the guides know and we will stop at the nearest beach.

When not kayaking, we will often be spending time relaxing at camp. The tours are a great way to meet new friends, sample some west coast cuisine and soak up the fresh ocean air.
