Sea Wolf Adventures
The next morning, we awoke at sunrise to meet up for breakfast with my friend, Kimberly Kufaas. She is a resident of Port Hardy and a fellow photographer who knows the area very well, and lucky for us, she volunteered her time for a few days on the trip to hangout, model, shoot and be a tour guide. She joined us on the next leg of our journey, an cultural tour by boat with Mikael Willie from Seawolf Adventures.
I had heard great things about Mikael through various people, so needless to say, this was one of my favourite parts of the trip. We embarked on a full day tour, learning along the way about the various aboriginal cultures that exist in the area, the traditions, values and significance of the westcoast aboriginal art. We were able to access remote land, get up close with wildlife and break for a traditional salmon cook over the fire for lunch on a remote beach. Experiencing the north island from boat really opens your perspective to the lifestyle and nature that the aboriginal people have lived and breathed for thousands of years.
