The briefing
British Columbia's coast is one of the most biologically rich and scenically dramatic in the world - an intricate coastline of islands, fjords, and old-growth rainforest with a sea-kayaking culture built around its extraordinary diversity. The Broughton Archipelago and Great Bear Rainforest are the headline wild areas. Sea kayaking through islands where grizzlies fish the shoreline and orcas surface beside the boat is an experience that has few parallels in accessible adventure travel. British Columbia Coast rewards an early start and a loose afternoon, not a packed checklist.

The infrastructure ranges from base-camp lodges to genuinely remote multi-day paddling expeditions. Choose the level of commitment that fits your group and you'll find BC delivers at every point on that spectrum.
