North Island Kayak is located in the heart of Telegraph Cove which is on on the north end of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. We live and work within the daily rhythms of Telegraph Cove and have an up close and personal respect, passion and understanding for the local environment, the people and the creatures that call it home. Our home base and store is uniquely located next to the only dedicated kayak launch site in Telegraph Cove, the water taxi loading dock and boardwalk and only seconds away from Johnstone Strait, the realm of Orcas or Killer whales. We are in the privileged position of seeing the Killer whales from the end of our dock. We frequently get to watch the Orcas, otters, eagles, mink and dolphins without even leaving the Cove.

These remote Vancouver Island, British Columbia, marine environments are teeming with wildlife including Orcas, Killer Whales, Humpback Whales, Minke Whales, Dolphins, Porpoises, Sea lions, Seals, Black Bears, River Otters and in some places Sea Otters, Bald Eagles and many other birds, a wonderland of Inter-tidal Invertebrates as well as being rich in the history of the many aboriginal bands that have called this area home since before recorded history.
