Why Choose Out For Adventure Wilderness Tours For Your Adventure Holiday?

We are obviously biased in our opinion in that we feel we offer the absolute best product for your money. But we are very confident that the products we have developed are the best value for your money and have designed this page to help you compare our tours to our competitors.

Let's first assume that a few of the top companies all say some of the same things, such as that they supply gourmet food, quality gear and good guides.

We feel that the following facts are the base-line of any quality adventure vacation.

1/ Out For Adventure uses top quality tents and gear.
2/ Out For Adventure uses the best quality makes of kayaks.
3/ Out For Adventure serves incredible gourmet food that we have become known for, and quite frankly, take great pride in maintaining that high standard for our tours. We eat better on tours than we do at home!
4/ Out For Adventure has some of the best guides in the industry.
5/ Out For Adventure has intimate knowledge of the areas we run our tours into.

OK, that about covers the standard points that many companies claim to have on their side and this is where we feel Out For Adventure leaves the competition and sets the bar for the industry.

In this industry many companies operate only seasonally and usually from the owner's home. Out For Adventure operates year round with two industrial units, one of which is a retail store selling kayaks and kayaking gear as well as other outdoor related products. Deal with the confidence of being able to walk into our retail store to speak with someone face to face about your tour requirements.

Value for the Money
This is one of the most important factors when most people plan an adventure vacation. The staff at Out For Adventure Wilderness Tours develops our tours with "value added" services and perks. For instance, our Kayaking With Orcas Base Camp includes a marine tour by water taxi to and from our camp so as to increase your chance of seeing wildlife on the way. Our Kayaking With Orcas Expedition includes a water taxi ride to our first camp so that it is a one way tour - no back tracking. Our multi-sport adventure includes accommodation at a high quality local resort.

Located in British Columbia
We live on Quadra Island, British Columbia and paddle these very waters that we take our guests into. This is in true eco-tourism style.

Orca Base Camp Comparison Chart

We Include:	Closest competitors:
Marine Tour up and back increasing chances of wildlife sightings	Only a few offer a water taxi ride similar to this
Gourmet Food	Many offer this
Trained Professional Guides	Most do offer this
Heated Mess Tent (in case of rain or cool weather)	No other competitor offers this
Practice no-trace camping as encouraged by the government and all environmental conservation groups (no permanent buildings, showers, toilets etc) Lets face it, this is supposed to be the eco-tourism industry, yet some companies are cutting bush and building complicated base camps in our wilderness.	We know of no base camp operation that is adhering to this strict but necessary protocol. There are only a few companies appear to be selling a similar tour to our Kayak with Orca Base Camp and all do not practice no-trace camping by setting up structures and platforms even without government approval. In the future, we feel that all will be required to operate in a no-trace camping manner.
We have the lowest cost per day for any tour even similar to ours - this is an important point. Divide the total tour cost by the total number of days to get this figure.	Some of the competition continually raise the price of their Orca kayaking tours. A few companies are charging almost twice as much as Out For Adventure for similar tours that don't have our value added products.
Out For Adventure Wilderness Tours has arranged a special discount with a local resort for accommodations before and after each tour	Not sure.
Save about $250 on travel! The ultimate place to view Killer Whales is Johnstone Strait, but to get there can be expensive - with our Kayaking with Orcas tours, the departure point is far to the south at Quadra Island/Campbell River saving you about $250 Cad more than getting to Port McNeil would cost.	A few offer similar tours departing from southerly destinations, but note - a trip that departs from Vancouver will mean that your first and last day is spent in a van enduring a long and arduous drive to your launch point.
