Sunset Paddle/Harbour
Explorer:
This
trip will take clients on a circular route in the Tofino harbour,
or around Stubbs Island. There are many sites rich with Native
history in this area, along with a wide variety of wildlife that
can often be seen by the paddlers of a silently moving canoe.
This trip is most often scheduled around the sunset, although
it can be undertaken early in the morning, or at any time throughout
the day.

Meares Island Tour
Meares Island ancient rainforest/Wild Grocery Walk©. Go
with the currents in our canoe on the way to and from Wanachus-Hilth-hoo-iis.
Meares Island is well known for its tremendous oldgrowth forest.
This island is in the traditional territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht
people, and was an abundant source of resources for them. Having
never been logged, there are many culturally modified trees on
Meares Island, along with a wealth of edible indigenous plant
life. Our guides are expert in these areas and will provide guests
with an educational and enjoyable afternoon in the 10,000-year-old
forest. Occasionally during the summer, the Tofino area is subject
to strong Northwesterly winds. During these conditions, we often
recommend going sailing in our canoes, as paddling in these winds
can be more work than fun! Sailing is an exciting way to see
the sound, and a wonderful experience everyone can share.

"Cluptl-Chas"-
Full Day Adventure
with Traditional
Wild Salmon Barbeque
This is our most popular trip. Departing from Tofino, Guests
will paddle the canoes over fishing grounds and clambeds as the
guides tell the history of the Tla-o-qui-aht people and their
environment. The outgoing tide will aid the canoe on its way
to Echachist Island, the site of an old summer village where
fishermen and whalers would base themselves for their summer
hunts. Once on the island, continue your discoveries with your
guides and follow them through the forest to hear about some
of the plants and places that make the island unique. Return
to the beach for a seafood feast of Wild Salmon, crab, or tsu-up
(Sea Urchin), along with Bannock, seasonal fruit and salads.
This daylong experience is unlike anything else you can experience
on the west coast. Come paddle with us, you'll never forget it.
