My wife & I took the Broken Islands weekend with a couple of friends. It was a fantastic 4 days in the islands. The scenery was outrageously good; the whales and other marine life were a bonus. Our guides were were extremely knowledgeable and just great people to be with. The whole trip was great from start to finish. It... More

Our family of 4, with two boys aged 11 and 13, thoroughly enjoyed our sea kayaking trip of the Broken Group Islands with Batstar. Every aspect of the trip was a great experience - from the initial booking call with Blake to being dropped off at the rental car location in town. Blake, Rhonda and their daughters happily catered to... More

My girlfriend and I just returned from our Broken Group Islands kayaking trip with Batstar and we both agree that it was one of the best experiences either of us has ever had. This was our first multi-day kayaking trip and we really didn’t know what to expect as we have only kayaked on a few day trips in the... More

Had an amazing week sea kayaking. Everything was first class. Our two Guides Laurel and Chealse were outstanding! Their expertise and knowledge of the area was greatly appreciated by all. The meals were fantastic! Our group of 8 (age 49 to 59) thoroughly enjoyed camping out and our daily adventures from Dodds island. Highly recommend Batstar

We chose to go kayaking on our honeymoon and Batstar made it a wonderful trip. When the original plans fell through last minute on their end they called us immediately, apologized for the change and offered us alternatives. They went out of their way to make the change up to us - and it was much appreciated. We did the... More

We went with another couple (over 50 yrs old) on a Batstar trip in September 2009. We were not impressed, considering our expectations from their website. Here are some of the things I remember: - the cost was much higher than the value offered - the place we were put in on the night before the trip (in Port Alberni)... More

We went as two families and 5 teenagers ranging in age from 13 to 19 (four adults plus two guides for a total of 11 of us). Our trip was initially meant for the Broken Islands but we added 3 weeks before our trip one extra person and Batstar accommodated by switching us to the Deer Group off Bamfield, BC... More
