Travelling around

Johnstone Strait is a deep and narrow passage located between the east coast of Vancouver Island (British Columbia, Canada) and the British Columbia mainland. It is a major navigation channel on the west coast of North America and it is the preferred channel for vessels.
Sea Kayaking is fabulous in the protected waters. There are several staging areas.
Johnstone Strait is the home to the largest community of killer whales in the world, with a population of approximately 200 whales.
During the summer months they are often seen by kayakers and boats packed with tourists. There is no better place to view these amazing marine mammals.
In addition to the Orcas, Johnstone Strait offers up a wide variety of other marine life, including mink, grey whales, pacific white sided dolphins, bald eagles and a great variety of seabirds will also be found in the area.
There are no cities or towns along the length of the strait.
