WeGo Kayaking Expeditions operates killer whale (Orca) kayaking tours in the Inside Passage where you will spend time at our two separate permanent wilderness kayaking outposts on one exciting trip. By utilizing our two camps on one trip you will have the opportunity to do and see far more than on a conventional base camp kayaking trip that utilizes only one camp, or on moving trips where you have to spend valuable time packing kayaks each day.

Our Hanson Island Kayak Camp is located in Johnstone Strait, home to one of the largest resident Orca (killer whale) populations in the world. We specifically chose our Hanson Island Kayak Camp location because it is situated along one of the most consistently traveled routes used by these magnificent creatures. From the Orca Lounge cliffs at our Hanson Hideaway basecamp you will be able to see the Orcas, (or Killer Whales as they are commonly known), forage, swim and play as they make their way up the coast of Hanson Island.

Maggy Point Basecamp is the only permanent kayak base camp located within the boundaries of the Broughton Archipelago Marine Park. The park is made up of a myriad of small islands that are ideal for kayaking and exploring. The Inside Passage is world renowned for incredible kayaking, camping, stunning scenery and wildlife viewing. Other wildlife that we are likely to see in this naturally diverse region include, humpback whales, minke whales, porpoises, bald eagles, rhinoceros auklets, bears, seals, dolphins and more…..

Located on the northeast coast of Vancouver Island, the Johnstone Strait area is home to one of the largest resident Orca (killer whale) populations in the world. Each year the Orcas return to the area to feed on the abundant supply of salmon, and to rub their bellies on the smooth pebble ocean floor of Robson Bight (Michael Biggs Marine Sanctuary). The Orcas (killer whales) of Johnstone Strait number over 200 whales in total.

By offering this unique two base camp style of expedition, we can kayak throughout a broader range of the Inside Passage, and therefore you will have a higher likelihood of seeing/kayaking with whales. It also provides the opportunity to paddle around the small islands of the Broughton Archipelago. A truly amazing area rich with native culture and marine wildlife.

On your first day in you will be dropped off at either Hanson Island Camp or Maggy Point Basecamp (it alternates each week, you can check when you are booking to see which kayaking camp you will be starting your adventure from). On Wednesday mornings, after two nights at camp one, we will kayak to camp two where we will spend another two nights enjoying this fun adventure.

Please note: Inclement weather can sometimes cause delays and we may need to switch camps on a different day. Although this will happen infrequently, we want you to know the possibility exists.

Friday - The Last Day
Friday afternoon we will be picked up at 15:00 by the water taxi and arrive back into Port McNeill approximately 1 hour later or 16:00. We arranged this tour to run Monday to Friday to allow you ample time over the weekends to travel and make your connections.
