Hello Nature Adventure Tours

No kayaking experience is necessary; participants must be comfortable in and around water, in good enough shape for 4 to 6 hours of daily kayaking and some easy hiking. Day 1 We will meet at 1943 Peninsula road at the Canadian Princess Lodge & Marina to load our gear and head out. The one hour water taxi ride will give you a glimpse of the rugged and breath-taking beauty of the coast and Barkley Sound. We will be dropped of at one of the many sandy beaches within the Broken Group Islands. After unloading and sending off the water taxi we will assist and teach you how to fit everything in to the kayaks. Your guide will do a safety pre-trip talk, explaining and demonstrating the fundamentals of kayaking. You will learn or review how to get in and out, proper sitting position, paddle techniques, what to do in an emergency and of course answer any questions or concerns you might have. Your guide will assist you if needed with launching your kayak. Never be shy of asking questions, whether about safety, kayaking, the sea and wild life we encounter or the forest ecology. Our guides have been working in this part of the world for many years and are very knowledgeable about kayaking and about the area. Our itinerary will be determined by group ability and weather. We are aiming to paddle 4-6 hours per day leaving plenty of time for other activities and for relaxing. There will be plenty of opportunity to take photos, have a snack or to go for that washroom break. Our goal is comfort, we believe that fun and adventure shouldn’t be painful or too strenuous. We will stop for a lunch break and your guide will prepare a delicious meal while you kick back, relax and take in the surrounding beauty. We will set up camp for the night at one of the 7 designated campsites with outhouses in the Broken Group Islands. Once we arrive on our chosen site your guide will point out all facilities and campsites and assist you with setting up your tent. Snacks and hot drinks will be served after camp is set up. Dinner will be served between 6 and 7 pm. After a wholesome meal and dessert, we look forward to bonding through everyone pitching in to cleanup. All designated campsites permit campfires. Storytelling around the fire or enjoying time alone is your choice but before we all say good night we will have a quick briefing with the whole group regarding the next day's schedule. Day 2 We aim to have breakfast between 7 and 9 am - depending on weather. We may move camp every day or stay at one campsite for the entire trip. The guide will have final say, as we need to take weather and group ability into account. Paddling and enjoying lunches on different locations within the islands will be a daily routine. There will be plenty of opportunity to discover inter-tidal life , explore old-growth forests, and ancient First Nation Village sites. Day 3 On the final kayaking day, after paddlling for the day, we will be picked up by water taxi and whisked back to Ucluelet. We will exchange email addresses and hugs so we can share photos and keep in touch.

What a terrific trip! Four of us went out with Nolan for three days, two nights. I can't say enough great things about Kevin (the owner) and Nolan, our guide. Their personable, genuine enthusiasm came through in every detail, from the very good boat in and out of our trip to the starting point in the islands, to the amazing food (really outstanding), excellent camping equipment and kayaks. Nolan made it look easy, responding to our request to see as much of the islands as possible, plotting a course that took into consideration wind and water conditions, as well as making a very good assessment of our abilities. He really set us up for success! When we paddled close to shore he made sure to find all kinds of interesting sea life to show us, as well as some indigenous sites, and was well informed on everything he showed us. The campsites, with outhouses, were beautiful and we were even able to have a campfire both nights. What a perfect trip, thank you Kevin and Nolan!

Our tour guide Eric is very knowledgable about all aspects of what we encountered on our tour. Our experience was enriched immeasurably. We lucked out with some great weather. Eric told us about the sea otter raft we saw, that their populations are recovering. He is especially well versed about the First Nations history and territories which is fascinating to have for context of the land and water we were travelling in. Thank you Eric!

Our guide, Nolan, took us on a spectacular tour of the Broken Islands by Kayak. We went not knowing what to expect and we got gorgeous scenery, whales and eagles and Nolan’s extensive knowledge of flora and fauna and camping. May is a great time to go!

The tour is super great and worth going. Yes, you see things. Yes it's a bucket list item. Now for the important stuff: - There is a large and freely available parking lot (over night... over week... over month...) immediately adjacent to the harbour where you will depart for your adventure. It is remarkably convenient. There's even public washrooms at the same spot. - They really do provide pretty much everything but a pillow. - The gear itself is great... but the cots are useless. Kevin is great to his guests, but kindly tell him to throw them away, replace the space in the boats with more homemade cookies, and never look back. The air core mattresses (which are GOAT'd by the way) just slide off and the cots collapse. I know the intention is to make people comfy, especially those who aren't avid campers, but it's not necessary. - The paddling jackets are perfect. They are pretty much only useful in the Pacific northwest where it is wet enough and cool enough in summer on the water to not sweat half of your body weight wearing them. You won't be disappointed. - The food is very solid, but paddling excursion companies across the board tend to do this very well. - The coffee punches above it's weight. For those who need caffeine, it is ubiquitous and solid (pre-ground... so you may wish to bring your own beans and grinder if you have strong feelings on what kind of dark brown tar to put into your body). It's something paddling excursion companies across the board tend to not do very well. So this was a win. - The campsites in the Broken Group are stunning, and the toilet facilities are works of art. They look like magical little treehouses. If you forget what goes on inside of them for a second, they really are cute photo-ops. - The intertidal life is spectacular. Sea stars for days, algae for days, among other things... - The Broken Group has painful sand at the beaches... you need Iron Man feet or a decent pair of foot wear. I'm on team Crocs for their quick dry capability and effortless slip-on, slip-off design. Since there is no such thing as perfect aquatic footwear, select the least bad for yourself of all worldly available options. - The guides are great, and lets be real, they really make or break the experience regardless of the other details. - If you haven't yet decided to book with Hello Nature for your Tofino-Ucluelet-Pacific Rim National Park excursion, I recommend that you quickly adjust your decision making process. - Kevin is about as laid back of a human being that exists. He's a gem. Probably too trusting of humanity, so don't be unkind to him, as I suspect karma will have it's eyes on you. - OMG! Just book it already!
Highly recommended, an awesome 3 day trip!

We actually just finished the 5 day Broken Group Islands tour, postponed due to Covid for the past two years! Kevin was so accommodating and flexible with all the challenges of having to postpone our trip for two years. So worth the wait! We had a spectacular 5 days kayaking the 4 guadrants of the group. Jonathan, our guide, was a gem. He is very knowledgeable of the area and after a quick introductory paddle led our group on well paced daily paddles. He is also an exceptional chef, putting together memorable meals. We highly recommend this tour/ outfitter.

The glamping tour is the next level to enjoying nature the Uber fancy way. Barrels are the most comfortable sleeping experienced I have ever experienced. They anticipated everything and really made sure we were safe, informed, and satiated. Loved this experience.

Amazing kayak tour with experienced and informative guide Lisa. We learned a lot about the first nations history of the area and the wildlife. The Islands were inspiring, gorgeous and the food was great. Camping cot and mat were greatly appreciated. I slept like a baby. Owner Kevin was very responsive to all our inquiries ahead of time. I highly recommend Hello Nature.
