Coast Mountain Expeditions

Operating from a remote base on Read Island, this wilderness outfitter coordinates multi-day sea kayaking journeys and paddleboard trips through the surrounding marine parks. The region, accessible by watercraft from nearby Campbell River, features quiet channels and tidal rapids that attract paddlers looking for self-propelled travel.

Guided excursions coordinated by Coast Mountain Expeditions focus on coastal ecology and traditional marine travel. Guests stay at a rustic island homestead between day trips, returning each evening to a shore-based lodge after hours spent navigating the cold waters of the Inside Passage. The office handles bookings on weekdays from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
