OAK BAY AND THE ISLANDS
.
If you would like to play Robinson Crusoe, we can arrange a self-guided tour where we can drop you off on Discovery Island or other island of your choice with all the equipment you need to camp. Or you can join one of our Kayak Mothership kayak-camping trips to other areas of the Gulf Islands.
DISCOVERY ISLAND CAMP-OVER This 2 day adventure (which can be extended up to 4 days) will appeal to those who would like to be dropped off on a wild island while visiting Victoria. Discovery Island Marine Park is a great place to get away from it all and get in some great hiking, beach-combing and log climbing. There are plants on this island unique to Canada if not the Gulf Islands. Your waterfront campsite offers wonderfull views of the Juan de Fuca Straits and adjacent islets, home to seals, otters and a wide variety of marine birds, including eagles and oyster catchers. The forest and ocean trail to the historic lighthouse at Sea Bird Point is one of many interesting hikes you can take while here.
If desired, we can provide you with all the basic camping equipment needed (such as a tent, sleeping bags, foamy. tarp and rope, stove pots/pans, dishes, cutlery, cleaning items, and first aid kit). At a minimum, everyone will be provided with water and a map with directions to explore the Island. It is good to take cel phone along for emergencies. Open fires are forbidden due to the extreme fire hazard existing on these dry islands. The campsite has tables and a pit privy nearbye stocked with the "essentials".
You have a choice of participating in a kayak tour of the Discovery-Chatham Islands before being dropped off. In any event, the morning trip over in our Edwardian Launch includes an eco-tour of the Chain and Discovery Islands, before being dropped off at the beach and left on Discovery Island (until you wish to return) . Our pickups from the Island are generally around 4 pm on the following day.
Prices are shown in column adjacent. Not that the park campsite fee is $5. extra and is payable on-site on the "honour system" at a pay box next to the campsite. Unless otherwise agreed upon, you must bring your own food. There is a tax of 12% (HST) on prices.
Your camping adventure starts with a ride in an inflatable to our Giant Canoe moored in the harbour adjacent the Oak Bay Marina. Some basic dexterity is needed to transfer from this inflatable to and fro the Canoe (we also use the inflatable to transfer passsengers and their gear and supplies to the beach on Discovery)
