A Paddle on the Wild Side . . .
| Tofino is known for its spectacular wilderness surroundings.
Remote Passages' sea kayaking day trips bring you quickly
from the bustle of Tofino harbour onto quiet waters nearby where
rainforest, beaches and tidal flats surround you.
Visitors who are in the area for several days often choose
a kayak outing with us on one day, and a more wide-ranging
Zodiac excursion on another. Remote Passages' knowledgeable
staff can help you plan an itinerary with several marine outings
- a fun and relaxing way to discover the many marvels of Clayoquot
Sound! |

"Clayoquot Explorer"
(4 hours)
- Tofino to Meares Island, paddling through harbour islets
- includes a walk on the 'Big Tree Trail'
- you learn about rainforest ecology and local history
(. . . and remember to watch for eagles and migratory
birds on the mudflats at low tide)
"Islands" (2 1/2
hours)

- stories of 'Clayoquot Island characters,' and early
evening wildlife sightings often highlight this program

good chance to watch interesting birds!
