Sea Kayaking Desolation Sound - Overview

kayak desolation sound

Kayaking Desolation Sound, a sea kayaker's paradise. Paddling amongst the towering mountains of the British Columbia Coast Mountain range is a truly awe-inspiring adventure.

Desolation Sound has a Mediterranean climate which makes it our favorite place to paddle in May, June, early July and September where you can count on having the best weather on the coast.

The Area

Carved into the inaccessible wilderness of the Canadian mainland over the ages, the soaring peaks of the coastal mountains tumble to the waters edge in a jumble of river mouths and small islands, a perfect spot for sea kayaking. The rugged terrain has stopped any road access into Desolation; kayaks are the best way to visit this majestic and unspoiled area.

Kayaking Paradise

There are few places on earth as stunningly beautiful as kayaking Desolation Sound. This is kayaking trip where you spend more time looking up than looking down.

The calm waters make this ideal for first time paddlers and the rugged mountian vistas make it suitable for anyone looking to experience some of Mother Nature's most amazing works of art.

Camping and Dining

Our campsites In Desolation Sound are simply stunning. Most of our campsites will be on small Islands in the heart of Desolation Sound. 6000ft peaks will tower over us giving us the feeling of being rather small.

Our food is fresh wholesome and local when possible. Our shellfish, salmon or halibut come from Quadra Island fishermen. And our guides know how to prepare the meals just right.

Other Activites
