Explore Vargas SUP

Norm Hann • March 26, 2013

This 4 day expedition takes in Clayoquot Sounds wild beauty while exploring the coastline of Vargas Island. Islands, white sand beaches, calm bays and perfect waves to surf await. Camp under the stars where the mountains rim the horizon. Wildlife viewing is abundant with bears, wolves, salmon, shorebirds, seals, eagles, whales, fish, and intertidal life. A short walk off the beach takes you into the rare old growth forest under a canopy of giant cedars. Clayoquot Sound is a BC Provincial Park located around Tofino. Vargas Island lies within Clayoquot Sound and the traditional territory of the Nuu-chah-hulth First Nations. This tour provides an ideal location for deepening our appreciation for the wilderness, exploring a new place, and adventuring on our paddleboards in a safe learning environment with enthusiastic and expert guides. In partnership with Catherine Bruhwiler and Tofino Paddle Surf.
