Spirit of the West Adventures

The Whales and Wilderness trip with Spirit of the West Adventures was one of the most memorable trips we’ve ever taken. We were there both as guests and to help capture the experience on camera, to convey the experience in an interactive 360° Virtual Tour, videos, photos, and aerial drone footage.

The glamping experience was next level, with a hot tub that had stunning ocean views, beautiful canvas tents with comfortable beds, outdoor showers, and a Robinson Crusoe-style dining area. The food and wine were also top-notch. But what really made the experience were the amazing guides and staff, and the incredible access to wildlife viewing from the kayaks. We saw all kinds of wildlife such as humpback whales, orcas, dolphins, sea lions, seals, and eagles.

I highly recommend Spirit of the West Adventures for anyone looking for an unforgettable outdoor adventure.

My sister and I had an amazing trip with Spirit of the West. We went on the 5 night Nuchatlitz expedition.Every part of this trip was top notch. Booking the trip was easy and the office staff were fast to answer questions. The pre-trip video and information was excellent. Our guides Marty and Robyn were fabulous. They were friendly, fun, kind and so knowledgeable. You can tell that they love what they do. The equipment was great. New tents, pillows and chairs to sit on were amazing! The food was so yummy and really healthy. I cannot say enough about how awesome this family run business owned by Rick and Breanne is. I highly recommend Spirit of the West. This was my 4th trip with them and I hope to go on a few more.

As usual, totally professional and friendly. Thoroughly planned and equipped wilderness adventure. I cannot speak highly enough of the attention to detail. I also cannot speak highly enough of the competence and personableness of the guides. They make McGyver look like a novice!

We had previously booked two double kayaks through a different business, but the boats that they had were too small for the 5 day trip that we had planned. Spirit of the West really saved the day! Our two touring style, fiberglass boats fit all of our gear and then some. They also handled amazing in the wind and waves. Gasbar delivered our boats right to Rebecca spit. They had great customer care and we were met punctually after our trip too! We saw humpback whales and seals daily, sea otters, dolphins and orcas. Definitely a trip that our family will cherish the memories from, for a lifetime ♥️

I cannot recommend Spirit of the West highly enough. I did the Orca Lite tour with my girlfriend. This is a tour best suited for those with some outdoor experience/skills (eg setting up a tent). Group size was not too big (10 people plus guides). Our guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The food was excellent, they offer a range of dietary options. We ordered vegan food and received really excellent food the whole trip (often better than what I could get in most cafes!). We spent a good amount of time on the water and saw a great variety of wildlife. It was worth every dollar we spent on it and more.
