God's Pocket Resort BC Canada kayaking
Lodge-Based Sea Kayak Tours
Your kayaking adventure
starts with a stunning boat cruise from Port
Hardy BC Canada on northern Vancouver Island past rugged mountains,
forested islands, and the wildlife rich waters of Queen Charlotte Strait,
before arriving at God's Pocket Resort.
The moment you step onto the dock you'll appreciate the charm of this rustic
island resort, located in the heart of God's Pocket Provincial Park - one of Canada's newest parks. Its seven
rooms provide comfort, private baths, all the amenities of home and ocean views
that take your breath away.
Our guides instruct you
in sea kayaking basics, and then we spend days paddling the sheltered waterways
surrounding the many islands that make up the park while watching for whales,
porpoises, seals, sea lions, sea otters and bald eagles, attracted by the prolific underwater sea life. Jacques Cousteau rated God's Pocket Provincial Park with it's spectacular Browning Wall the best cold water SCUBA dive spot in the world, due to this great marine diversity. We cruise by the famous Browning Wall observing the spectacular invertebrate sea life from the warmth and comfort of our sea kayaks. You can take a day off from kayaking anytime, or
follow one of the hiking trails into the island's lush rain forest. Don't
forget to greet the resort's resident octopus and river otters in the cove out
front.
At the end of the day,
you'll return to the resort to enjoy a hot shower in your room and fabulous
dinner featuring locally caught seafood (try the smoked salmon), fresh baked
goods and regional wines in the resort's main lodge - all prepared by the
lodge's resident chef. Watch the sunset and relax by a campfire on a
waterside deck. Then sleep blissfully in a comfortable bed.
"I felt like I was at a
five star resort eating meals at the lodge. The chef was especially
accommodating to people with special diets".
-- Barbara Yaschik, God's
Pocket lodge-based sea kayak tour
 Other enjoyable activities include
natural history talks, camp-fires on a nearby beach, a short night paddle,
games or natural history videos in the game room/library. If you wish to
experience kayak touring in Canada's Inside Passage without having to camp,
you'll find our Wilderness Islands lodge-based trip at God's Pocket appealing.
A video and DVD of this tour is available. Please call us for a
copy.
"The lodge was
incredible. We loved every moment and would give this trip a 10 out of 10.
