Guided Kayak Tours 2009...

Sea Kayaking the Charlottes.
Drift over the abundant marine life of the shallows, glide into secluded and pristine beaches that saw the giant war canoes, explore the abandoned Villages of the seagoing Haida where superbly carved totems stand testament to the artistry of their highly developed culture. Challenge the sea and its many moods. Camp in some of the most scenic and spectacular sites in the world. Barbecue a fish on the beach and sleep in the moss carpeted forest.
