Kayaking

Lake Hope Sunset Wildlife Tour
aka "Beaver Tour"

Enjoy a sunset kayak tour with a private guide.  We take the time to make sure you're properly fitted with a kayak, lifejacket, and paddle, and that you are comfortable in your boat before we head across the lake.  Some folks like to hop in and go, and others are more comfortable with a little more instruction first.  We allow you to set the pace for maximum enjoyment.  

Moving quietly through the water allows many opportunities to view wildlife for those who are willing to slow down and look around.  Great Blue Heron can usually be spotted fishing in the shallow water near shore, but by far the most conspicuous wildlife that we observe on these trips are beaver.  Beaver are the largest rodent in North America, and their size never fails to impress people who haven't had an opportunity to see them up close.  The shorelines of Lake Hope are full of the signs of the beaver's well known industrious nature, and an unexpected tail slap mere feet from your kayak is sure to catch your attention. 

This adventure takes approximately three hours to enjoy at a leisurely pace, and reservations well in advance are encouraged for best availability.
