{"product_id":"private-multiday-sea-kayaking-expedition","title":"Private Multiday Sea Kayaking Expedition – Vancouver Island West Coast","description":"\u003cp\u003eLaunch into a fully private, fully guided sea kayaking journey through the remote islands and channels of Vancouver Island’s wild west coast. Whether you choose the quieter Deer Group Islands in Barkley Sound, the protected waters of the Broken Group, the rainforest shores of Clayoquot Sound, or a completely custom route we design for you, you’ll paddle exposed outer shores and calm inner channels, camp on secluded sandy coves, and experience the raw character of the Pacific edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coast offers something different every season: spring brings migrating gray whales and emerging growth, summer evenings are long with active marine life, autumn brings quieter waters and salmon runs, and winter delivers dramatic weather and solitude for the prepared. Expect bald eagles soaring overhead, sea lions crowding rocky islets, harbour seals surfacing beside the kayaks, and seasonal chances of humpbacks, sea otters, and black bears foraging the shoreline. Ancient cedar forests and quiet beaches provide the backdrop for every night’s camp. Days are paced to the tides, weather, and your group’s energy—a mix of paddling, beach exploration, wildlife watching, and time to simply sit with the ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery trip is private to your group of 2–10 people and available for 2–7 days, any time of the year. One or more experienced local guides handle routing, safety, and camp setup so you can focus on the paddle and the place. We can also set one up completely for you—fully customized dates, length, route, pace, and emphasis (more wildlife time, relaxed beach days, skill-building, or longer crossings) based on your group’s experience and goals. Gear rentals are fully customizable: we can provide everything you need (kayaks, camping equipment, dry bags, and more) or you can bring your own. Meals can be fully catered by your guide or you can self-cater if you prefer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s typically included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessional certified guide(s)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSea kayaks, paddles, PFDs, spray skirts, and safety gear (or customized based on what you need)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamping equipment (tents, sleeping pads, tarps, kitchen gear) as required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeals and snacks (fully catered or self-catered options available)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePark\/camping permits and local stewardship fees where applicable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-trip briefing and route planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(Water-taxi transfers or vehicle shuttles to remote launches may be included or arranged depending on itinerary; sleeping bags usually available to rent.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGroup Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2–10 people (private only).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrips are available any time of the year, with routes and pacing adjusted for conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContact us for pricing and booking.\u003c\/strong\u003e Tell us your preferred length, group size, gear needs, catering preferences, and dates—we’ll design the trip, confirm details, and get you on the water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Price on this listing is a deposit and not the total price of the excursion.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BestCoast Outfitters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67845763301620,"sku":null,"price":1000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/0283\/2036\/files\/image_2_2045715e-2c52-4ffa-80bc-b5ea19477d1b.jpg?v=1792527120","url":"https:\/\/www.bestcoastoutfitters.com\/products\/private-multiday-sea-kayaking-expedition","provider":"BestCoast Outfitters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
