2024 Beyond Broughton Wilderness AdventureBeyond Broughton Nomad is a 6 day sea kayak adventure that explores the remote inlets and waterways of the Great Bear Rainforest. Kayak experience is required for these trips. Our trip starts at a rustic float house (see map) on a quiet inlet embraced by wilderness.
