Our trip with Wildcoast was a blast. My brother, his sons and my son enjoyed the views, the paddling and the food was excellent. Damon and Val are very knowledgable and easy to work with. if you get the chance, don't miss the opportunity to spend time with Wildcoast

Can we give 6 stars? I will echo the reviews written here. Orca Camp is everything they say it is - quiet, remote, stunningly beautiful, peaceful, restful, fun, exciting. What sets it apart from the other outfitters is the staff at Wildcoast. From Val and Damon back on Quadra Island to the tireless guides who never seem to stop coming up with yet another way to please and amaze their guests. Put this trip at the top of your bucket list, then sit back and let Wildcoast do their thing. You won't be disappointed.

I just returned from Orca Camp with Wildcoast Adventures. It was an incredible experience. The location is remote - about two hours by boat from Campbell River - a comfortable tented oasis tucked between the towering evergreens. No tv, no wifi - just the sounds of the stream behind the camp, of pine needles dropping onto your tent and the sound of fellow campers excitedly yelling "ORCA" when the killer whales appear. The tents are large, on platforms and comfortable - even on the coldest night, the freshly laundered sleeping bags were cozy and warm. The kayaking was fabulous and well paced, with picnic lunches and even a hike to a lovely waterfall included on one excursion. The food was fantastic - inspired by the amazing chef at the Gowlland Harbour Resort - fresh salmon, local herbs and vegetables - even eggs benedict on our final morning for breakfast. Plus, hot coffee, tea and snack available around the clock. But best of all - the guides - Kory, Clay and Julie. Hard working, funny, encouraging, kind and clearly passionate about killer whales, the outdoors and their guest's experiences. They kept us safe, well-fed and opened our eyes to the vast beauty of the Robson Bight area.
This was a bucket list trip for me - so I feel very grateful that I found such a fantastic group of fellow travellers, that I saw whales almost every day and that I went with Wildcoast Adventures. It was beyond my expectations!!

I spent early August at the Orca Camp which is beside the Robson Bight ecological reserve. The camp is in a beautiful location and it is definitely not camping in the traditional sense. The tents were spacious with cushioned mattresses on cots and full size pillows and sleeping bags provided. I was warm and cozy. The dining tent is nice and big and has a wood burning stove. Coffee/tea and snacks are always available, meals were great and the guides were very helpful. Also, loved the outdoor heated shower :) The headliner was of course the Orcas which we saw everyday, on one day 3 times! All in all a great vacation, enjoyed the kayaking, camp amenities and the incredibly beautiful scenery and wildlife. Go, you won't regret it.

Waterfalls thundering, purple sun rises and sunsets, fog as thick as cloud, water as smooth as glass. The smell of cedar and the taste of amazing food, warm beds and a wonderful hot shower. Loons calling, ravens catching crabs, mink fishing, hawks perching. Eagles flying, seals watching, bears passing, otters diving. Sea lions swimming, salmon jumping. Turning rocks to find sea cucumbers, guppies, suction fish, star fish, anemones. Most of all, pacific white-side dolphins hunting, humpbacks diving and orca, the orca. I heard them calling, watched them blowing, watched them feeding their young, and most of all, seen them free.
Five stars doesn't appropriately sum up the last week. If your thinking about booking, just do it. It is SUCH an experience
Thank you to Bender, Calvin, Julie, Kory, and Val. It has been amazing. Until next time xx
