Kayaking Adventures in the Gulf Islands

Our kayaking adventures are suitable for any experience level - including the "never-been-in-a-kayak-before" level - and are fun for the whole family. Our boats are stable, comfortable, and a smooth ride.

We are committed to small group tours! Our guide to client ratio is 1:5, a standard set by the Sea Kayak Guides Alliance of BC. We also offer three levels of kayak instruction as well as equipment rentals.

Our Kayaking Tours are Kid Friendly

Our Seaward Passat G3 kayaks fit two and a half people! They are very stable boats, equipped with a middle hatch seat designed to carry your 4 to 9 year old special someone, who then has the important job of being "the look out" for BC wildlife. Your child will have an incredible time exploring the natural world!
