Trip Description
Harbor seals, humpback whales, Dall’s porpoises and California sea lions converge each summer on the spectacular British Columbian coastline, providing the unmatched opportunity to study marine mammals in their natural habitats. Join us on one of our most extraordinary adventures — our staff’s favorite — to explore, learn and immerse yourself in the world of whales, seals and other marine mammals. With pristine wilderness, dramatic terrain and quaint fishing villages, Vancouver is a fantastic place to spend your summer. Learn and work alongside marine scientists, researchers and naturalist guides, both in the classroom and in stunning wilderness settings. You will never forget the first time you see a wild orca breaching or a pod of grey whales swimming just feet from your boat. Two sea kayaking adventures give you ample opportunities to encounter wildlife up close, while more formal studies, community service work and hands-on research give you the in-depth knowledge to make the most of these experiences.
Itinerary & Country Map
We kick off our adventure with a challenging sea kayaking expedition in one of the world’s most untouched settings, the rugged and pristine Deer Island Group in Barkley Sound. Together we cross the Trevor Channel, gliding past remote coves and keeping our eyes peeled for curious seals. For four days we explore, kayak, bond… Sleep to the sounds of the wild, wake to fresh air and bald eagles hunting for their breakfast. Swim in cool water, sunbathe on warm beaches, play Frisbee and spend evenings around a crackling bonfire. Out on the water, we search for breaching whales showing off their incredible force, schools of Pacific white-sided dolphins, and grey and humpback whales.
