Best kayak ever - This was a phenomenal experience!!!!! We had the best time and saw a ton of whales, seastars, and sea lions. Naomi and Conner were amazing.

Great experience - Our expectations were exceeded. Despite rain wonderful excursion. Lots of wildlife seen, very respectful handling of distancing and calm behavior. The tour guide explained a lot to us, so all in all great excursion.

A trip to remember - We had a wonderful morning kayaking with Naomi and Connor, who were great guides. We were extremely lucky to witness orcas, a bald eagle, a seal and other wildlife. It was an experience to remember for a lifetime!

Fun easy way to see wildlife up close - My friend and I went on this kayaking tour in the morning, with a family of 4 in two other kayaks. Our guide Jesse explained all we needed to know and we all took off at a relaxed pace. The weather was calm and slightly overcast. We stayed close to shore and ducked into small bays and behind small islands. We saw lots of wildlife including a seal and her pup, an eagle that let us get up to less than 5 m of it before flying off, and small sea birds called Turnstones (thanks to Jesse's knowledge). We even saw a mink! It appeared that all the wildlife saw us as no threat as we were out on the water and low down. If we had been walking on shore, I'm sure we would have scared them away sooner. This was a fun experience and a great way to see wildlife up close. It was nice to get a bit of exercise too.

Two-hour kayak paddle. - One of the highlights of our island adventure was the two-hour kayak paddle in Telegraph Cove — with Connor as our guide. We appreciated his easygoing, calm demeanour; his knowledge of local history, flora and fauna; but especially the land acknowledgement and discussion on the impacts of colonization. We spotted a starfish, jellyfish, eagle, seal, and otter, and meandered along at a pace conducive to conversation and contemplation. Highly recommended.

An amazing trip I won't soon forget! - Absolutely amazing 2 hour session. Breath taking scenery, incredible really. Our guide Connor was fantastic. Very personable, easy to chat with, we were in solid, capable hands. Worth every penny, we are talking about doing a multi-day session!

Once in a lifetime “touched by nature” experience! - What a magical breath taking experience! Hearing a Humpback in the distance was one of the most moving nature moments in my life! Then when a whimsical, friendly sea otter popped up next to my kayak and back floated along with us for a good while- I was smitten! Seeing and hearing a bald eagle calling from the top of an evergreen along the forested shore- I felt “touched by nature”! Even if there were not any wildlife on this excursion, the tranquility and unbelievable iconic scenery was enough to leave me mesmerized. As for the logistics- the crew was very friendly, helpful and instructive all along the way. I felt confident and comfortable by the time I pulled away from the shoreline. (And I have a deep water phobia, so this is saying a lot for me to not let the thought of deep water steal my once in a lifetime experience!) I was too enchanted by my surroundings to think about any deep water phobias :) Great job to the crew!

Interesting Kayak Trip - 2 relaxing hours along the coast. very calm sea. We saw several animals in the water along the way. Small group.

Morning well spent! - Our guide Georgia was great! She was super knowledgeable and made us feel really safe! We had a lovely time and would 10/10 recommend going on a paddle with North Island Kayak!

Disappointing Service - Very disappointed in this company and the staff at Telegraph Cove who didn't seem very organized or motivated to accommodate our group when the wind picked up forcing the cancelation of our paddle. We suggested moving our group to earlier in the day when winds were light. We were given 5 minutes notice when the paddle was cancelled, At least they were prompt about returning our money.
