SEA KAYAKING THE BROKEN GROUP ISLANDS
4-DAY SEA KAYAK TOURING ADVENTURE
The Broken Group Islands of Barkley Sound on Vancouver Island's west coast are a paddlers' paradise. Enjoy sea kayak touring, the beauty and the mystery of the 'wild coast' within the protection of a scattered collection of rugged islands.
 From the sandy beaches and quiet lagoons of the inner Islands, to the sea caves of the outer shores, exploration by sea kayak is unparalleled within this complex maze of islets and passages.
Find tidal pools that abound with strange creatures. Colourful sea anenomes, seaweed and starfish adorn the inter-tidal areas, contrasting with the hardy kelp beds, giant barnacles and clinging mussels of the exposed coast.
Huge sea lions bellow and roar protecting their rocky domains which greet surf and swell from the mighty Pacific Ocean. Towering evergreens and twisted winter storm swept trees provide the background.
The Broken Group Islands forms part of the Pacific Rim National Park, a vast undeveloped area known for its rich variety of sea life and the hundreds of birds which find food and shelter here.
