Half-Day and Full Day Guided Kayak Tours
Sea kayaking is a great way to explore the outdoors. You are close to small and large wildlife and you experience the beauty and grandness of the coastline from a fascinating different angle.
Sea kayaking is for everybody; young and old, beginner and more experienced paddler. We use locally-made sea kayaks known for comfort and stability. You can paddle on your own or help each other by taking a tandem sea kayak; we can even place a seat in the centre hatch for the smaller children.
Don't forget your camera! Enjoy the beauty and wildness of the Salish Sea from your kayak and glide along amazing rock formations, trees and wildlife. Sea stars, crabs and anemones can be seen underneath your boat; seals and eagles are nearby. Have a break on a beach and explore the rich biodiversity of the tidal zone.
Tap into your adventurous spirit and book a remarkable sea kayak experience with us for half a day, a full day or multi-days and let yourself be surprised.
We offer half-day (4 hr) and full day (7 hr) kayak tours year-round and multi-day kayak tours in the Desolation Sound area on the beautiful Sunshine Coast (north of Powell River). Contact us for more details!

Röming Saysutshun / Newcastle Island (4hr)Duration: 4 hr with 3 hr of actual paddling. No experience needed.
Saysutshun (formerly known as Newcastle Island) is named by the Snuneymuxw First Nation people and has a long and vibrant history. We paddle around the island and enjoy the dramatic sandstone shoreline with its honeycomb erosion patterns (Tafoni). Wildlife can be seen under water and above the water; sea stars, crabs, seals and Bald Eagles are commonly spotted during our tours. The island is riddled with Arbutus and Garry Oak trees; a unique ecosystem distinct to the east coast of Vancouver Island. A sandstone quarry and remnants of coal mining can be seen from your kayak. Thousands of Sand Dollars crawl on the sandy bottom of the 'gap' between Protection and Saysutshun and can be easily spotted at low tide. During our paddle we have beautiful views on the Salish Sea, Gabriola Island and the Coastal Mountains in the background.
Tip for people coming from the Vancouver area; this tour starts from the Brechin Boat Ramp and is a 5 min walk from the Departure Bay Ferry Terminal and the Seair Seaplanes Terminal (ask for our plane-package deal). So you may hop on the ferry as a foot passenger or take the seaplane and we take you out for a paddle! |
Röming Pirate's Cove (7 hr)Duration: 7 hr with 5.5 hrs of actual paddling. Some kayak experience preferred.
Located between Gabriola en Valdez Island is De Courcy Island; this Gulf Island is well known for its natural beauty. We paddle along sandstone formations carved by wind and water into magical shapes and the honeycomb erosion patterns called Tafoni. We begin our tour in Cedar-by-the-Sea, south of Nanaimo, sneak through the 'hole in the wall' if the tide is right and have a break on the scenic beach of Pirate's Cove Marine Park. This cove on De Courcy Island is also known for the colourful character of Brother XII who created here the Aquarian Foundation in 1927, a self-sufficient cult independent of the outside world. Most of his followers were well-off people, like widows and former business men and they were 'chosen to save mankind'; giving Brother XII their savings and complete control of their lives. Plenty of wildlife can be seen under and above the water; seals and Bald Eagles are regularly spotted including sea-stars, crabs and anemones at low tide. This scenic tour is always an experience!
