No kayaking experience is necessary; participants must be comfortable in and around water, in good enough shape for 4 to 6 hours of daily kayaking and some easy hiking. Day 1 We will meet at 250 Seaplane Base Road to load our gear and head out. The one hour water taxi ride will give you a glimpse of the rugged and breath-taking beauty of the coast and Barkley Sound. We will be dropped off at one of the many sandy beaches within the Broken Group Islands. After unloading and sending off the water taxi we will assist and teach you how to fit everything in to the kayaks. Your guide will do a safety pre-trip talk, explaining and demonstrating the fundamentals of kayaking. You will learn or review how to get in and out, proper sitting position, paddle techniques, what to do in an emergency and of course answer any questions or concerns you might have.
