Discover the true West Coast by kayak. Paddlers of all levels can probe the mysteries of the diverse marine life found on our rugged coastline and serene fiords. Barkley Sound offers 800 sq.km of unforgettable paddling amongst the Deer and Broken Group Islands. For first time paddlers, the Bamfield Inlet is just the right place to hone your kayaking skills.

Experience the majesty of the West Coast temperate rainforest while hiking to pristine outlying beaches. There are excellent day hikes to Keeha and Topaltos beaches, as well as to Pachena Light starting at the head of the West Coast Trail.
