2-day A Ragged Discovery Copeland Islands Kayak / Camping tour

This 2-day kayak tour, departing from Lund Harbour, will give us the opportunity to explore this fantastic marine park and its surroundings. We set up camp on a small island in the northern section of the marine park. Often, kayakers and boaters seems to ‘rush’ into Desolation Sound and forget about this classic kayak destination.

BC has grown up around the Georgia Strait. The beauty of the surrounding mountains, the islands, the inlets, the marine life and the isolation of the coastal areas attract visitors from around the world. The Copeland Islands archipelago is situated in the most northern waters of the strait and consists of a string of islands and islets and offers spectacular views in all directions. These are the breeding grounds for many species of birds. Seals and seasonally sea lions haul out on exposed rocks. Lately, humpback whales and killer whales are passing by more and more. Backcountry camping adds an extra dimension to this tour, during dusk and dawn wildlife always seems to be more active and we could take the opportunity to go out for a sunset paddle. A dark night might reveal ‘a wonder of light’, bioluminescence frequently occurs during the summer months.
