We typically pack a picnic lunch t enjy n ne f the beaches and then cme back t the camp in time fr dinner and a sak in the ht tub. We paddle at the pace dictated by the grup and take lts f stretch and bathrm breaks. We will cver between 6 and 8 miles a day in ur kayaks n this tur. HOW STABLE ARE THE KAYAKS? WHAT IS THE LIKELIHOOD OF FLIPPING OVER? The kayaks we use n ur turs are stable and designed fr cmfrt. Fr thse a little cncerned, the duble kayaks are slightly mre stable than the singles. The likelihd f a capsize is minimal, and generally nly ccurs in an uncmmn situatin. If fr sme reasn yur kayak flips ver, all f ur guides have ample practice time n the water with rescue prcedures, in rder t quickly and efficiently get yu back in yur bat. At this pint we will take yu t the nearest shre t change int sme warm czy clthing and carry n with ur jurney.

WHAT IF THE WEATHER TURNS BAD? WILL I BE COMFORTABLE AND WARM? Our weather in the Pacific Nrthwest is generally pleasant frm May thrugh until the end f September. The temperature will vary slightly depending n when yu visit. In the Blackfish Sund area, the weather will generally be cler than what yu may see n the frecast fr Campbell River smetimes by as much as 10 degrees. Fg is very cmmn n summer mrnings, hwever this nearly always clears at midday t make way fr clear skies and sun. Althugh it is uncmmn, it can rain in the summer. A gd rule f thumb is t be prepared fr any type f weather and yu will stay cmfrtable. Layering is the key, and it allws yu t put n r take ff layers while n the water if needed. Our camp n Swansn Island allws us t kayak nly when we feel like it and in the best lcatins fr explring. This being said it can be quite beautiful t paddle in the rain, ften the winds are lwest during light rains and Spirit f the West ffers yu a gd-quality paddling jacket and pants. If anyne was t get cl, we can take breaks t warm up n a beach fire, r can always return t camp fr a ht shwer, czy times in the ht tub (where yu can cntinue t watch marine wildlife) r t warm up in yur spacius tent. Take a nap under warm blankets, have a ht tea while reading yur favurite bk. WHAT SORT OF WILDLIFE MIGHT WE SEE ON THE TOUR? The diversity and abundance f wildlife in the Pacific Nrthwest is ne f ur privileges. With river run-ff frm the muntains, cean currents, tide rips, eddies and upwelling, these waters are amng the mst prductive n earth. Frm the rich marine life f clurful plants and invertebrates, seabirds, shrebirds, waterfwl, mink, tter, seals, sea lins, dlphins, and whales, t the land animals f deer, raccns, cugars, wlves and bears, we are bund t see smething. Fr thse with an eye fr eagles take nte that they are mst prminent in the earlier mnths befre the salmn migratin in the late summer/early fall. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF SEEING WHALES? WHAT IS THE BEST TIME OF YEAR TO SEE WHALES? On ur turs t Blackfish Sund we stand an excellent chance f seeing whales. Understandably we cannt guarantee what nature will dictate, but we can tell yu that this area has ne f the highest cncentratins f whales in British Clumbia and this is where they spend their summer hliday. It is very likely that yu will see them, whether frm yur kayak, while traveling n ur water taxi, n a whale watching bat r frm a beach n the shre. Hearing the blw f a whale even in the distance will create a sensatin f excitement. Humpback whales return t the area arund mid-may, while resident rcas begin t turn up in late June/ early July. Ppulatins are at their highest frm abut mid-july t late August, and begin t taper ff t the beginning f Octber. Nte that in accrdance with industry whale watching regulatins we d nt apprach whales within 100 meters. This is ut f respect fr the whales space and t ensure that we d nt interfere with their natural behaviur. WHAT IS THE CAMP SET UP LIKE? WHERE DO WE WASH AND ARE THERE TOILETS?
