Wildcoast Adventures

Getting out on the water is a fundamental part of coastal life, and the waters around Quadra Island provide some of the finest paddling routes in the region. Just a short ferry ride from Campbell River, this local outfitter leads guided sea-kayaking excursions designed for different skill levels.

The single-day trips focus on the sheltered shorelines and coves near Quathiaski Cove, where paddlers can learn basic strokes and watch for marine wildlife. For those looking to spend more time on the water, multi-day expeditions travel further afield. These longer journeys feature wilderness camping on remote islands and extended paddling routes through Desolation Sound. Wildcoast Adventures provides the necessary gear and safety instruction for all scheduled departures.
