After a long hiatus, I have resubscribed to PaddleWise. Having found the
knowledge here most helpful in the past, I am now seeking help again. My wife
and I are in the wonderful dilemma of having ten free days in mid-September to
do a little exploring. We are trying to decide between the Georgian Bay, Ont.
region and Vancouver Island, BC. We've never seen either place and are looking
for those who know them well. We are looking for kayaking, camping and hiking
possibilities.





Vancouver Island:


Is it too late in the season for that part of the country?


Has anyone taken the Inside Passage ferry to Prince Rupert or the one to Bella
Coola, and is there much to see and do once you get there?


If I travel that far (from Michigan), am I better off renting a kayak than
taking our Nautiraid Grand Raid? If renting, any recommended dealers?


Trip ideas?





Georgian Bay:


Routes? Camping opportunities?


Is Killarney Park worth adding to the itinerary (I know it is popular with
canoeists, but what about kayaks)?





Thanks in advance for any advice,





Steve
