One of the best trips we've ever taken
Wildcoast Adventures的点评
点评：We went to Orca Camp in early August 2024. There were 8 of us total - 2 families of 4. We had 4 50-somethings & 4 20-somethings. Everyone had an EPIC time! We all agreed that it was a perfect experience - the weather, the wildlife, the camp, the guides, the guests, the boats. Everything came together just right. That said - we all also agreed that it would have been a good trip even if some of those things hadn't been so great. Weather & wildlife are just luck. You get what you get - sometimes the weather is good, sometimes not. Sometimes the wildlife shows up, sometimes not. Wildcoast Adventures & everyone at Orca Camp hit it out of the park on the things you can control. We give them 5 stars across the board.
If you like camping & being out in the wild AND you enjoy just a bit of pampering, this is the trip for you! We all had some experience with kayaking but not a ton. I'd say it is more important to be generally fit & not anxious on the water than to be a super experienced kayaker. As far as the camp itself goes, it's great! The food was good & plentiful. The wood burning hot tub & sauna help you warm up quickly. A hot shower is available everyday. The cabins are cute & comfy. Even the outhouses are pretty darn good. The guides (Rachel, Josh, Diana) & camp manager (Bender) all went above and beyond to ensure an excellent experience. And we saw orca everyday, we also saw humpback whales, eagles, sea lions, seals, a mink, dolphins, porpoise & bears. Like I said - it was epic.
Here is the review I wish I'd been able to read, once we were signed up for Orca Camp. What to expect & what to pack. I'm a mildly fit 54 year old woman with a lot of water experience but not a lot of kayaking experience. I paddled in a 2 person kayak with my husband everyday - which made it easier. There are 3 paddles daily & you can choose morning (1 hour-ish), day (much longer 2-5hours) & sunset (1 hour) We had cool, foggy mornings. The morning paddles (6:30am) were by far the most productive for seeing orca, so I recommend them. I wore: a wool tank top, a fleece long sleeved shirt, a down vest & a rain coat on top; on bottom I wore spandex shorts (capri leggings would work too - but not full length because you wade out into the water), rain pants (rolled up), neoprene socks & chaco sandals; additionally i had a buff, a fleece hat & paddling gloves. When the sun was up, I dropped the down vest & added a baseball cap.
It was cool & damp so it's good to have separate paddling clothes & camp clothes. Only my rain jacket served in both areas. It's good to have dry wool socks for everyday & also camp shoes (slip ons) that are dry. My kids only had their chacos & didn't like having wet shoes all the time. The main tent has a wood burning stove so you can dry things but it takes time & can be crowded. Fleece & wool are really the best, they dry quickly & are warm even when wet. Layers are key.
It was in the high 80'sF when we left Campbell River & we were all feeling silly for all our warm clothes. As soon as we got off land, the temp dropped 20 degrees (at least it felt like it)!! And it was in the 60's F the entire trip. Don't let warm temps in Campbell River fool you!
Bring your own binoculars if you have them. There are some at camp but not as many binoculars as guests. A quick dry towel is a must - hot tub, sauna, shower - you'll need it for all those activities & flip flops for the same reason. Camp is so nice & enjoyable it can be hard to force yourself out to paddle! A book or journal is nice for around the fire.

翻译：我们于 2024 年 8 月初前往 Orca Camp。我们一共 8 个人——2 个 4 口之家。我们有 4 个 50 多岁的人和 4 个 20 多岁的人。每个人都度过了一段难忘的时光！我们都认为这是一次完美的体验——天气、野生动物、营地、导游、客人、船只。一切都恰到好处。话虽如此——我们都同意，即使有些事情不是那么好，这也是一次不错的旅行。天气和野生动物只是运气。你得到你所得到的——有时天气好，有时不好。有时野生动物出现，有时不出现。Wildcoast Adventures 和 Orca Camp 的每个人都在你可以控制的事情上取得了巨大的成功。我们给他们 5 颗星。
如果您喜欢露营和在野外，并且您喜欢一点呵护，那么这次旅行就是您的最佳选择！我们都有一些皮划艇经验，但不是很多。我想说，身体健康、在水上不焦虑比成为一名经验丰富的皮划艇运动员更重要。至于营地本身，它很棒！食物很好，很丰富。燃木热水浴缸和桑拿房可以帮助您快速暖身。每天都有热水淋浴。小屋可爱又舒适。甚至户外厕所也非常好。导游（Rachel、Josh、Diana）和营地经理（Bender）都竭尽全力确保您获得绝佳的体验。我们每天都能看到虎鲸，还看到了座头鲸、鹰、海狮、海豹、水貂、海豚、鼠海豚和熊。就像我说的 - 太棒了。
这是我希望能在报名参加虎鲸营后阅读的评论。期待什么以及要带什么。我是一个身体健康的 54 岁女性，有很多水上经验，但没有太多的皮划艇经验。我每天都和丈夫一起划 2 人皮划艇 - 这样就方便多了。每天有 3 次划艇，您可以选择早上（1 小时左右）、白天（时间长得多，2-5 小时）和日落（1 小时）。我们有凉爽、多雾的早晨。早上划艇（6:30am）是迄今为止观看虎鲸最有成效的，所以我推荐它们。我穿了：羊毛背心、羊毛长袖衬衫、羽绒背心和雨衣；下身穿氨纶短裤（卡普里紧身裤也可以 - 但不是全长，因为你会涉水而过）、雨裤（卷起）、氯丁橡胶袜和查科凉鞋；此外，我还戴着围巾、羊毛帽和划艇手套。太阳升起时，我脱下羽绒背心，戴上棒球帽。
天气凉爽潮湿，所以最好将划艇服和露营服分开穿。只有我的雨衣在两个地方都适用。每天穿干羊毛袜和干的露营鞋（便鞋）是很好的。我的孩子只穿了 Chacos 靴，不喜欢鞋子总是湿着。主帐篷里有一个燃木炉，可以烘干东西，但需要时间，而且可能很拥挤。羊毛和羊毛确实是最好的，它们干得快，即使湿了也很暖和。分层穿衣是关键。
我们离开坎贝尔河时，气温高达 80 华氏度，我们都觉得自己穿了那么多暖和的衣服。我们一离开陆地，气温就降了 20 度（至少感觉是这样的）！！整个旅程都是 60 华氏度。不要让坎贝尔河的温暖气温欺骗你！
如果有的话，带上你自己的双筒望远镜。营地里有一些，但没有客人那么多。速干毛巾必不可少 - 热水浴缸、桑拿、淋浴 - 所有这些活动都需要它，出于同样的原因，人字拖也必不可少。露营如此美好和愉快，以至于很难强迫自己出去划船！在火炉旁放一本书或一本日记本很不错。
