Enjoy the sun sparkling off the surface, and keep an eye out for marine life because there are many who frequent the area or call it home. Everyday all year round is suitable for kayaking in Queen Charlotte Sound. Any day, you possess a very good chance to see sting rays and eagle rays, a large variety of sea birds such as cormorants and sometimes even small blue penguins, seals, giant starfish and dolphins where 4 different types have been spotted here. Skip the boat traffic, and the hustle and bustle you may experience on other kayaking trips. The Queen Charlotte Sound is a glimpse into a whole new world or tranquility, and the most beautiful bays and coves, sights that will stay with you well after the trip is over.
