Nootka Island Trekking
If you ever aspired to include a real wilderness adventure in your Canada vacation, Nootka should be your destination. This hard-to-get-to westcoast island is a true rainforest paradise with thundering surf, majestic evergreens and a multitude of wildlife both on land and in the ocean. And very few people, if any...
We fly in by float plane and take our time to trek the 33 kilometer to Yuguot. Taking our time is good – there is no fun in rushing! Exploring the diverse landscapes and letting it all sink in fills every day. We travel with a group of 5 people and 1 experienced Nature Trek Canada guide. Backpacking experience comes in handy, but is not required. We look after your gear and all the details.
