Embark on a breathtaking trip from Bella Bella to Klemtu via Aristazabal and Campania Islands in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. This journey offers a mesmerizing experience along the open coast, showcasing the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest. As you paddle along, be prepared to encounter an abundance of marine mammal life. From majestic orcas to playful seals, the waters surrounding these islands are teeming with wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for humpback whales breaching and dolphins dancing through the waves. Immerse yourself in the tranquillity of pristine old-growth forests that line the coastline. Towering cedar and spruce trees create a lush backdrop against the sparkling waters, providing a sense of awe and wonder with every stroke of your paddle. What sets this trip apart is its off-the-beaten-path appeal. Unlike more popular kayak routes, this route is rarely travelled, offering a sense of seclusion and adventure.
Rentals are available for those who need it.
