Welcome to Kayak British Columbia, Coastal Spirits Expeditions and Lodge on beautiful Quadra Island, BC.
We offer some of the finest guided sea kayaking tours and whale watching tours in British Columbia, including kayaking with Orcas (killer whales), Desolation Sound and the Discovery Islands.

Our 4 day kayak with the Orcas (killer whales) tour in Johnstone Strait is a trip different from any other Orca trip available. We are the only company operating a base camp right beside the famous killer whale reserve and Orca rubbing beaches. Due to this perfect location, we have the highest success rate encountering the whales in their natural environment. Our small groups can watch them feeding, playing and in social interaction with other pod members. We listen to the whale songs with our hydrophones. Often the whales approach our kayaks and our campsite. Unlike other BC companies we avoid the tourism crowds of North Vancouver Island and enjoy privacy and the best Orca viewing camps in the world. High speed catamaran transport to Orca base camp is included in the tour.

Spectacular views, close wildlife encounters, emerald lagoons: The Discovery Islands offer some of the best sea kayaking tours in British Columbia, Canada. The Islands and the surrounding crystal clear ocean are the home of sea lions, seals, dolphins, colorful birds and the largest starfish and clams of the world. Ancient trees along our shore lines provide nesting habitat for more than 200 Bald Eagles.

We also invite you to join us for sea kayaking amidst the unparalleled beauty of British Columbia's Coast Mountain Fjords. We watch cascading waterfalls plummet into the emerald, glacier fed water of Fjordlands. Enjoy the islets along the way and meet the animal residents of Fjordlands, including Bears that can often be viewed from the safety of our kayak. There are limited campsites, and spectacular landscapes in a remote area of the British Columbia coast.

Highlights of your BC Orca tours include:
• World class, very private Orca watching campsite, beside the killer whale reserve.
• Night paddling (for guests who like to participate) to watch spectacular phosphorescent algae. The ocean looks like the sky full of stars. Hear the whales breathing at night.
• Beach Sweat lodges (native versions of the sauna) and campfires in the evenings
• Beautiful fresh water stream beside the camp, great for swimming
• Guided interpretive rain forest walks from camp
• Visit of Orca research station (weather and ocean conditions permitting)
• Delicious meals and a million dollar view
• Outhouse and solar showers available
• Underwater microphones to listen to the songs of the whales.
• High speed catamaran transport Campbell River/Quadra Island to base camp

The Coastal Spirits Lodge and Bed and Breakfast is located on a beautiful, very quiet and private 5 acre rain forest property in short walking distance to the beach, from where you enjoy stunning views towards ocean, islands and BC's Coast Mountains. Water gardens, streams, beautiful flowers and ancient trees highlight the property. In this Bed and Breakfast, you will have privacy and comfort in a separate new building. Modern units, each have private bathrooms, fridges and showers. The quiet and beautiful location, the privacy and our friendly staff makes this lodge an excellent choice in accommodation.

Some Quotes from our Clients:

Your Orca trip made me forget the "real world". Being woken up in the morning by the blow of Orcas is a wonderful experience. We had about 30 whales right in front of our beautiful camp site. After years of whale watching and writing about the whales, this was the best trip I ever had. Thank you!

Our sea kayak expedition was a truly magical experience. We especially enjoyed watching the bald eagles, while the eagles watched us. The huge purple starfish were incredible. We greatly appreciated your respect for the traditions of the Native People of Quadra Island, and your knowledge of them was quite illuminating. We felt very well taken care of throughout our stay.

Our experience on Quadra Island was wonderful. You truly live in a beautiful place. The sea kayaking was great - a fantastic way to see close-up what the island has to offer. We are anxiously awaiting the return of the bald eagles here in Kansas, and will fantasize that they are the same eagles we saw in British Columbia. We have been encouraging everyone we know to consider a trip to your part of the world. We too, intend to return. Thanks again for the wonderful time.
