The small island of Quadra offers plenty of opportunities for active travellers. Take a hike, head out kayaking at sunset and enjoy the views of purple-dipped mountains and the black water. Your home away from home is a timber lodge on the coast, nestled amongst the pine trees. The lodge is owned by First Nations residents and is decorated in traditional Indian style with large totem poles in the lounge. This is the ideal base from which to explore the beautiful area.

Day 1 – Arrival on Quadra Island

Today, you’ll travel to Campbell River, where you’ll take a short ferry ride over to Quadra Island. Quadra is a charming island, with a nature reserve just waiting to be explored. If you’re active, then there’s plenty on offer for you! Walk along the coast or through the woods, and enjoy the impressive views. Quadra is also known for its rocks, islands and marine animals, so head out and delve into the great wilderness.

Day 2 – Sea kayaking

Spend the day exploring the nature reserve before embarking on a special excursion this evening; sea kayaking at sunset. You’ll get a beginners lesson in kayaking and just before sunset set sail (under supervision) to the small rock islands. This is a great spot for observing sea lions, as they’re often here lying on their backs, enjoying the last rays of sunshine!
