Victoria, British Columbia is located near the southern tip of Vancouver Island. This city is repeatedly called one of North America's most beautiful cities. Victoria has one of Canada's warmest climates and many plants are in bloom throughout the year in Victoria's countless breathtaking gardens. Within the city limits there are spectacular ocean and mountain views and there is quick access from the city to the great outdoors. Victoria's architecture and displays of native art tell the story of the city's rich history. While there is plenty of exploring to do within the limits of Victoria, those looking to explore Vancouver Island's unique temperate ecosystems further can consider a multi-day kayaking trip in some of the island's more remote areas.

Multi-Day Kayaking Trips Outside of Victoria

Rising Sun Kayak Adventures offers multiple multi-day kayaking tours that allow for in-depth exploration of Vancouver Island's waterways and ancient temperate rainforests located beyond Victoria. Our Vancouver Island trips explore such areas as the Broken Islands, the Clayoquot, Nootka and Kyuquot Sounds and the world-renowned whale watching destination, the Johnstone Strait. The launch sites for these kayak adventures are located outside of Victoria in small Vancouver Island towns such as Tofino, Zeballos and Telegraph Cove.
