Sea Kayak and Whale Watching Tour on Vancouver Island – Paddle with Orcas



Vancouver Island is the best place on earth to see killer whales in the wild. Most of British Columbia’s 300 or so orcas return to these waters to feed, sleep, play, and rub their bodies on the pebble beaches of world famous Robson Bight Ecological Reserve. And there’s no more exciting way to encounter pods of these fascinating animals than from the seat of your very own sea kayak. Also sharing this diverse habitat are dolphins, porpoises, sea lions, harbour seals, humpback whales, eagles and black bears, to name just a few.

Filmmaker Michael Altenhenne has captured this unique experience from water – and from air using a drone.

Three day zodiac Wilderness tour, Vancouver Island, Canada 2011



Three day wilderness tour by zodiac in the Northern part of Vancouver Island, Canada in 2011. With Ocean Rose Coastal Adventures we had three amazing days viewing the wildlife in an amazing scenery.

Day 1 whale watching: humpback whales, minky whales and several orca’s close to the boat. Highlight besides the orca’s was a humback whale breaching next to the zodiac, a moment I will never forget. On day 2 we explored several islands, visit an old native village and did a hike to visit Orcalab with an amazing view on the Johnstone Strait.. listening to the orca’s sing! Day 3 we went into the famous Knight Inlet to Gendale Cove to watch several grizzly bears from close distance. Camping on an Island, beautiful scenery, amazing wildlife.. trip of a lifetime! Just be careful of low flying whales 🙂
