Evening view from camp on a CME kayak trip. We’ve still got space left on some of our trips I’d you’re looking for a summer adventure.

Evening entertainment on one of our kayak expeditions last season. Humpback whales have been one of the few “good news” environmental stories these last few years. The population has made a spectacular recovery, and we now see whales on almost all of our expedition trips. This is something that definitely wasn’t the case 15 years ago. If we humans can learn to take better care of our planet, we can look forward to more good news stories and life-changing sights.

Paddling up the river. A lush little hideaway that many people would rush right past. It’s always worth it to stop and explore all of the little nooks and crannies on any paddling route. It’s where you’ll find some of the most special places.
