Sea Kayak - Nootka Island (British Columbia)

We will start in the village of the winter home and then follow the ancient routes of the Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations around Nootka Island while exploring Nootka Sound, Nuchatlitz and Esperanza Inlets along the way.  This area has it all: sea caves, waterfalls, burial caves, blowholes, lonely islands and archipelagos, gorgeous sandy beaches that stretch for miles. We will stop in at the World Heritage Site in Yuquot/Friendly Cove and maybe get to say hi to Native carvers and one of the few last lighthouse keepers. Whales, sea otters, seals, sea lions, porpoises and one of the largest black bear populations in North America. Immersion wear required and you must have coastal paddling and kayak camping experience. Limit 4.
