Sea Kayaking Desolation Sound - Overview
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.
Phenomenal area to kayak. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The food was way beyond expectations.Dick and Kathy Stone, September 9 - 13
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
One of the most stunning places to kayak on earth
There are few places on earth as stunningly beautiful as kayaking Desolation Sound. This is a 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.
"I'm an English teacher and for the first time in a very long time I couldn't think of any words to describe what I was seeing. It was that spectacular."Morna Brown
