Why Kayak Tour With Us?

No matter if you're visiting Victoria or have lived here all your life, kayaking will give you a unique perspective of the city. We're committed to making your kayak adventure fun, safe and truly unforgettable.

Safety First

Experienced, fun and Paddle Canada certified guides, a mini kayak lesson before we launch our boats, and well-maintained kayaks and equipment.

Awesome Locations

We start our tours at various locations: Along Oak Bay's shoreline, Esquimalt, or our home base, McNeill Bay - there are just too many beautiful areas around Victoria to limit ourselves to just one.

Experience of a Lifetime

There's nothing like being out on the vast ocean. You'll probably see river otters, seals, crab, herons, eagles, maybe even an octopus, sea lions or orca.

What to expect

Let us know if you have any questions.

What to bring

Depending on the weather you should bring a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, swim suit, rain jacket, sweater. And always a camera! You will get drops of water from paddling on you - fast drying athletic or merino wool shirts are best but not required.

Group

For safety reasons and to guarantee personalised support the maximum number of guests is 8 plus the guide. Children under 14 will need to be accompanied by an adult in the front of a double kayak. Ages 14 and older can paddle in either a double or a single kayak.

How to find us

All our locations are easy to reach by car, bus, bike, or maybe even walking,... We will send you detailed instructions how to get to the starting point of your tour.

Waiver

We require you to sign a waiver. Once you've booked your tour we will email it to you and you can sign electronically.

Getting ready

It takes a few minutes to fit you with the right equipment and kayak. Besides kayak and paddle, we provide life jackets, spray skirts, bilge pumps, ropes, and water proof bags.

Mini lesson

Before we go on the water you'll have a mini lesson on the dock or the beach. We'll show you the equipment and depending on your experience introduce you to basic kayaking and safety techniques.

Snacks

We'll provide you with a granola bar. But of course you're always welcome to bring additional snacks. Please also bring your own water bottle.
