Wildlife and Kayak Zodiac Adventure is a premium, customized adventure that’s close to home and will bring you deep into the heart of the Discovery Islands. On this adventure you will have full access to your own boat Captain, Guide/Naturalist and a certified Kayak Guide.

Your trip begins with a wildlife excursion via zodiac, we then head out to the Octopus Islands where the kayaking adventure begins, while the boat stands by. Travelling by zodiac allows each trip to have its own unique experience and allows us to get to remote kayaking destinations faster. 

On the kayak portion of the tour we will make our way through very unique microhabitats and island archipelagos in the Octopus Islands. On location you will enjoy lunch on the beach before embarking on your kayak adventure with your certified guide. 

Every tour is different and what wildlife we see on tours varies depending on the seasonal migrations of marine mammals. You may encounter any number of Cetaceans- (Whales, Dolphin, Porpoise), Sea Lions, Seals, Bears, Marine Birds and Raptors (Bald Eagles). 

Note: Destinations can vary depending on the movement of wildlife and local weather patterns. There are many beautiful places to explore.
