Exciting, exhilarating, memorable, Ventures by Seabourn are designed around Zodiac, kayaking or hiking activities. Experience the wonders of nature up close, or in-depth cultural, ethnographic and archaeological discoveries that connect you to the human and natural history of Seabourn's world. Each Venture is expertly planned, professionally operated, and escorted by knowledgeable Ventures staff or a skilled contractor.
One of the best places to encounter Western Canada's prolific wildlife is in Cormorant Channel Marine Park. Transfer by Zodiac to the park, where your kayak adventure begins. Hop into your kayak and navigate these sheltered, protected waters. Cormorant Channel is prime habitat indeed for British Columbia's northern resident orca whale population. Scan the water for seals and whales, and the tree line for eagles, as you travel.
Please note: A Zodiac follows the kayaks to lend assistance as required. All sea kayaks are doubles. (Dis)embarking the kayaks may take place from the ship, from the beach, or from the Zodiac. Although sometimes perceived as a passive and relaxing sport, kayaking comes with inherent physical challenges and is therefore advisable only for those in good health. Previous kayaking experience is not required. All kayak gear is provided, including pogie gloves, booties, drysuit and flotation device. Dress warmly in layers; a waterproof outer layer is provided in the form of a drysuit. Bring a hat or beanie, wear sunglasses and biodegradable sunscreen. A dry bag is provided for devices. Minimum height is 5 feet (1.5 m). Maximum weight per kayak (two persons) is 617 lbs (280 kg). Tour generally operates rain or shine but may be cancelled in the event of extremely bad weather or unsuitable conditions. Minimum age is 10 years. Leave all valuables, including rings, watches, bracelets and earrings, in a safe on board the ship. Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed
