Spirit of the West Adventures Kayak Tours

Businesses

Environmentally sustainable and conservation-focused kayaking tours from relaxed to expedition-style, in British Columbia, Patagonia and the Bahamas.

We love what we do and want to share it with you. After more than 25 years guiding sea kayaking trips in British Columbia, we still feel a sense of anticipation and excitement when pushing off from shore at the beginning of each and every trip.

Traveling with us, you’ll find engaged and professional guides, amazing food, top-notch gear, and logistics all helping you have the best possible experience whale watching, paddling and reconnecting with nature – sustainable and responsible travel.

We offer a range of trip styles to choose from such as base camp, expedition, mothership and family tours.

Tour locations include the Great Bear Rainforest, Johnstone Strait and Broughton Archipelago, Blackfish Sound, Desolation Sound, Nuchatlitz, the Bahamas and Patagonia.

Spirit of the West acknowledges and operates in the unceded traditional territory of the We Wai Kai, Homalco, Klahoose, Mamalilikulla-Qwe’Qwa’Sot’Em, ‘Namgis, Tlowitsis, Kwikwasut’inuxw, Nuu-chah-nulth and Heiltsuk First Nations.

Spirit of the West Adventures has been certified as Biosphere Sustainable, demonstrating action and commitment to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.

We are also a member of 1% for the Planet and support non-profit conservation work in British Columbia.

We are founding members of the North Island Marine Mammal Stewardship Association (NIMMSA) which was established to ensure best practices and responsible wildlife viewing standards for tourism operators.
