When you think of kayaking, you probably think of a relaxing journey through calm and tranquil waters aboard a small canoe-like boat. This is what kayaking is all about for the most part, but for those looking for a challenge and excitement, there's ocean kayaking. Generally speaking, ocean kayaking is at times comparable to white water rafting. Not in regards to equipment, but speed and level of activity. Therefore, ocean kayaking is typically left to those who are very experienced in the water.

Canada is an excellent location to experience the ultimate ocean kayaking. Known for its scenic beauty and natural appeal, Canada provides everything needed for your journey along the ocean. Starting at the Ucluelet Harbour along the northwest coast, you will have the chance to see some of Canada's most precious wildlife. Black bears are often spotted fishing along the shore line, and sea lions call out to you as if to say "hello" as you pass by.

You'll also pass through some breathtaking waterfalls in this area (be prepared to paddle harder!) and see some historic houses and fishing boats along the shore. Barkley Sound provides an excellent opportunity for spotting unique aquatic animals, such as seahorses, sea stars, sand dollars, and natural sponges. Barkley Sound is full of mini-islands to explore, and often eagles, river otters, and sometimes whales can be viewed in this area.
