The group will be transported by boat, deep into the archipelago and dropped off at a remote hostel for a last night of civilization. Then the journey will be by sea kayak, camping on remote sandy beaches in the heart of this coastal paradise. The journey will continue into the Johnstone Strait where there are a number of Orca (Killer) Whale pods, so a very good chance of getting up close to these majestic creatures.
