Highlights

  • Enjoy with wildlife-watching, we kayak in the heart of orca territory in Johnstone Strait.
  • Our basecamp location provides opportunity for hiking, tide-pooling, and learning about the natural history of the area.
  • Admire an entire ecosystem including starfish, anemones, porpoises, eagles, and sea birds.
  • All tours are fully-catered (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and happy hour) with gourmet meals prepared daily by our guides—from scratch. Each day, you enjoy scrumptious meals before laying your head on a pillow merely meters from passing orcas.
  • This trip is ideal for families with older teens, novice to intermediate kayakers craving adventure, and whale lovers who want to experience up-close encounters with orcas! Guides bring hydrophones on all tours so you can hear the orcas communicating underwater while watching them interact.

What travelers are saying

"I have travelled with ROW numerous times, including four trips on the Rogue River. Every trip has been wonderful and every person associated with ROW has been nice, knowledgeable, professional and fun. The Rogue is a great river and the trip is an excellent one for two people or a large group—and I have done both. I’ve taken both of my kids, one time each, and have organized groups of colleagues twice; most recently in 2019 when 14 of us gathered. The guides at ROW are great and help to make the trip very enjoyable. The scenery, lodging and the wonderful outdoors including warm air and refreshing water, make for a wonderful escape from the everyday routine. The fact that this trip offers beds and indoor plumbing is a nice benefit and allows those who have an aversion to camping a chance to see the wilderness. I have recommended ROW and the Rogue trip more times than I can count and my group has already reserved our trip for 2021. What are you waiting for?"

"We have travelled with this Company on numerous holidays and never had a complaint. The hotels we have stayed at have been clean, comfortable and staff friendly and efficient. Tour guides are good and very informative about places visited and the history of these places, Got back today from visiting Ireland and the Giants Causeway and again the holiday was excellent, the Station Hotel in Letterkenny was clean, comfortable with friendly staff and Brian Dodd certainly made sure we had a good holiday. Thank you to all concerned."

"We had a fabulous time full of adventures, dog sledding was my absolute favourite activity, it was so amazing and the snowmobiling was super fun, no surprises that it was Hayden’s (my eldest) favourite activity getting to drive his own snowmobile! Unfortunately the flight didn’t go to plan, Ewan was so scared and literally begged to turn around and go back a few minutes into the flight, I must admit it was quite nerve racking being in that tiny plane! Me and the kids were a bit freaked out so I had no problem aborting, my husband was loving it sat up front so it was a shame for him. Also unfortunate that we didn’t get to see the aurora because it was unseasonably warm and the skies were cloudy but the viewing facility was great and the birthday cake was yummy! The staff on all the trips were fabulous. Only negative feedback (and this is purely for your information and in no way a complaint) Earls - did not put any candles in Ewans birthday cake, I know you had specifically asked them to do that. At the aurora viewing they bought age 16 candles for Ewan, not age 12, the guy was really sorry, he said that was the age he was told by the office. Gold Rush Inn - super miserable and rude waitress serving breakfast! We had a great time, thank you so much for going out of your way to make it special. I will absolutely go and leave a review."

British Columbia Tour Selection Trips

  • You can combine a tour of British Columbia with a cruise through Alaska’s adjoining Inside Passage
  • Much of British Columbia is wilderness; if you’re looking to get away from it all near the U.S., this is the place
  • British Columbia geography can be a bit confusing, consisting of the mainland (home to the city of Vancouver) and nearby Vancouver Island, home to the provincial capital, Victoria
  • Even if you’re primarily interested in outdoor adventure, you aren’t likely to regret a visit to the city of Vancouver, which incorporates nature into its fabric
  • Peak season for whale-watching is May-October
