Explore // Pacific Rim National Park (Day 2)
Our second day, we headed to the village of Ucluelet and began an all-day sea kayaking adventure! We have really fallen in love with kayaking! It is amazing to be so silent and serene on the water with nature all around (no noisy engines and minimal people involved). It was a sunny and beautiful morning when we met up with our group.
We helped load up the van and trailer, and then drove about 45 minutes to the spot where we put our kayaks in and began to paddle. We paddled for about 7 hours that day, all around Barclay Sound and among the many small islands in the Sound.
We had a double kayak. There was us, our guide (Silka, from White Rock, B.C.), Rachel (school teacher from Vancouver, B.C.), and John and Annah (from Portland, OR). We were a small group, in awe of our surroundings. As we paddled throughout the day, we saw several Bald Eagles (now off the extinction list!), seals, starfish, and various waterbirds (some that swim under the water!) We stopped on an island where we were the only people there! We ate a little lunch and then paddled until it was time to head back to town. What a day! Below is a little view from the beach on our little island that was our lunch spot. Can you say perfect?
