PADDLE A SEA KAYAK AND HAVE YOUR GOURMET FOOD TOO:
BC LODGE-BASED SEA KAYAK TOUR OFFERED BY SEA KAYAK ADVENTURES

GOD’S POCKET, BRITISH COLUMBIA  -- Sea Kayak Adventures, Inc. has pioneered offering exclusive, wilderness lodge-based sea kayak trips in this area, designed for those who wish to experience Canada’s legendary Inside Passage in comfort and style, at God’s Pocket Resort, in God’s Pocket Provincial Park.

If you want to try kayak touring but have no desire to camp out, you’ll find God’s Pocket Resort’s quaint accommodations appealing.  You will stay in a private room complete with ensuite bathroom at a rustic 7-room lodge, located on a remote uninhabited island in the heart of God’s Pocket Provincial Park just off the northern tip of Vancouver Island.  From Port Hardy, a boat takes us there on an unforgettable cruise through breathtaking scenes of rugged mountains, forested islands, and the pristine waters of Queen Charlotte Strait.

Paddling this area combines the adventure of exploration by sea kayak with the amenities of lodged accommodation. Daily excursions take you into the intricate network of waterways surrounding the many islands that make up the park. From a kayak you will have the opportunity to see whales, sea otters, porpoises, seals, sea lions and bald eagles frolicking in their natural habitat. Hiking trails take you into the island’s lush rainforest. This area is also famous for its diving and fishing.

After a day of kayaking, hiking, and wildlife watching, you will be back at the lodge to enjoy a hot shower in your room or hot tub on the deck and a delicious dinner.  The meals are outstanding; featuring locally caught seafood and local wines - prepared fresh daily by the resort's private chef.  Enjoy fresh baked breads, cookies and cinnamon rolls - all baked daily at the lodge.  Indulge in the warmth and hospitality of your hosts while you watch the sunset and stars from a spacious deck above the water.  Then sleep blissfully in a comfortable bed.

God’s Pocket is also ideal for simply relaxing. You set the pace; a day off from kayaking is always your choice, and motorboat excursions always an option.  People of all experience levels will find this an excellent introduction to sea kayak touring and a great way to truly experience the wonders of paddling on Canada’s Inside Passage.  Perfect place to celebrate your 60th birthday, anniversaries, family reunions - we've even had people become engaged there!

The price of the tour is normally just USD $1850/person.  Six-day trips depart every Monday June and July from Port Hardy on Vancouver Island June 20 through Aug 9, 2008.  Trips are already booking and some are nearly full - call soon to book your space on these unique trips.
