General Description: Paradise. Either paddle from Toquaht Bay or get a shuttle from one of the local transport companies. Generally short crossings between the may islands in the archipelago. Paddle with dolphins, porpoise, seals, sea lions and even humpbacks. Experience the feeling of canoeing through long period swell if conditions are glassy on the outside of Clarke and Benson Islands. See the water around your boat boil with herring balls. Camp on sandy beaches and perhaps see the stunted island deer or local wolves. Currently camping during the high season must now be booked on the Parks Canada website.
