Nootka Sound Kayaking and Canoeing
Nootka Sound is one of the best kayaking and canoeing spots on Vancouver Island. It is located on the west coast of North Vancouver Island.
Kayaking in Nootka Island brings the chance to observe Yuquot, which is one of the most spectacular destinations on Vancouver Island. Yuquot (Friendly Cove) is known as the birthplace of British Columbia. The heritage of the Yuquot dates back to over 4,000 years ago.
MV Uchuck is a converted minesweeper carrying passengers, freight, and kayakers into the sound known as the paradise of paddlers.
Nootka Island is the home of various wildlife species and is famous for its rainy forests. Less experienced visitors may be able to take kayaking guides. Kayakers may have the chance to go hiking or fishing. However, the currents of the Nootka Sound may sometimes be mighty. Therefore, kayakers should take enough care in cold seasons.
Nootka Sound, placed on the west coast of Vancouver Island, is accessible from Gold River, Tofino, and Campbell River city. Nootka Sound is approximately 70 km (45 miles) north of Tofino. The Gold River Hwy 28 links Campbell River with Gold River and Nootka Sound.
