Sea Kayaking Nuchatlitz and Nootka Islands
On the wild west coast of Vancouver Island, the Nuchatlitz is a spectacular island group of small islets, soft sand beaches, open ocean views, and amazing wildlife.
Accessed through the coastal village of Zebellos, our water taxi drops us off for this five-day voyage. Days are spent exploring the many islets, reefs, and beaches.
The wildlife can be spectacular; in fact, the Nuchatlitz is one of the few places on Vancouver Island where you can reliably view sea otters. After being hunted almost to extinction in the last century, their population is steadily growing, and now in the Nuchatlitz we can view large rafts of these playful creatures.
But that’s not all - nearby Nootka Island has a healthy population of black bears that are often seen foraging along the beaches at low tide. The occasional late night howling of wolves can be heard and humpback whales are once again being seen more regularly.
If you’re looking for a tour that encompasses sandy beaches, west coast scenery, and fantastic wildlife, try our five-day Nuchatlitz exploration.
