Day 1:
- Meet your guides at your accommodation in Sandspit for 8:00am. Travel to our launch site at either Moresby Camp or Grey Bay . After a pre-trip orientation and packing the kayaks, we set south exploring the weathered coastline to the mouth of Cumshewa inlet.
Day 2:
- Our first full day of paddling we cross the inlet to reach the village of Ku’una where we stop for lunch and to explore the village taking in its rich history and heritage from the guidance of a Haida Watchmen. The evening is shoreside either in Skedans Bay or Skedans Islands amongst towering trees or picturesque waters.
Day 3:
- The third day of paddling is often a more restful one where we paddle past Limestone Island, a research field station that monitors creatures from ancient murrelets to humpback whales. Next, we reach the towering cliffs of Vertical Point and camp at scenic beach backing on to a healthy shaded creek.
Day 4:
- Take in the final moments of this area with a relaxed morning of paddling or reflecting shoreside as we await for our pickup back to Moresby Camp.
