Our note

This is a four day overnight wilderness trip at nearly $3,500 a head, so it sits on a family wish list rather than a class outing list. Their own pages give two different youngest ages, three on one and five on another, so pin that down before you count a small child in. Once you are in camp there is no road out, so anything a child needs has to travel in with you on the boat.

What the children do

A 4 day and 3 night all inclusive land based whale watching and sea kayaking trip in Johnstone Strait. Day one meets at the Black Creek office at 8 am, then a two hour truck drive and a boat ride into a wilderness camp with no road access. Days two to four cover kayaking of roughly two to four hours when the weather allows, whale watching from shore, shore fishing, a hike of about 60 minutes to a hidden waterfall, disc golf, board games and an outdoor sauna, plus a full day boat tour into Blackfish Sound with a stop at Telegraph Cove. The return to Campbell River is about 5:00 pm on day four. The price is C$3495 plus 5% tax per person, and the site describes group sizes variously as 6 to 10, 8 to 10, and a hard maximum of 10 people per tour. Only 2027 dates are on sale.

Ride two hours in a truck and then a boat into a camp reached no other way, sleep three nights in a walk in tent, sit in a stable double kayak for a couple of hours a day when the water allows, walk about an hour to a hidden waterfall, fish from the beach, and watch for orcas from the shore and from a full day boat trip.

Good to know

Everything is included once you arrive, with meals, walk in tents, gear, a hot shower, a sauna and a heated covered dining area at camp. The camp has no road or public access, the trip caps at ten people, and the youngest age is given two different ways on their own pages, so settle that on the phone first.

Sources disagree. Two of their pages give a different youngest age for children. One says three and up, the other says five and up. We use five here, so ask them to confirm the number before you count a younger child in.

Sources disagree. They describe where you meet two different ways. One says the day starts at their office in Black Creek at 8 in the morning, another says the trip starts in Campbell River with a free pick up from your hotel. Ask which one applies to you when you book, because the two are about 40 minutes apart.
