Sea Kayaking

Explore ancient islands, secret passes and forgotten coves on a sea kayaking trip around Nootka Sound.

The resort will be happy to arrange a guided or self guided kayak trip for you. Nootka Sound has a large marine park that features Bligh Island and numerous small islands that make up the Spanish Pilot Group. This is an excellent area for a safe family holiday as there are numerous beaches for camping and getting out of the weather when the afternoon westerly starts to blow. Yuquot (Friendly Cove) is probably the best stopping off spot in Nootka Sound. The history of this ancient site is phenomenal and the First-Nations residents love to tell visitors about their history.

Esperanza Inlet has magnificent scenery with the Nuchatlitz area being a paddler’s delight. Rosa Island has a user-maintained camping area, and the small islands that line the channel into Nuchatlitz give paddlers plenty of spots to haul out and enjoy the views. Unique to the area are the sea otters that spend their days eating, grooming and watching kayaks glide by, and the whales that stop in the area for a quick meal before continuing north on their travels.

We will ensure that you are led by an experienced guide and that you are equipped with top of the line boats. Contact our customer service representative to enquire about provisioning self guided trips.

Round trip transport from Moutcha Bay Resort to Nuchatlitz is $400.00 and to Yuquot is $375.00.
