How to get here
We have your equipment ready for you on Kitty Islet Beach (Oak Bay's South-Eastern tip, opposite our office location). There is parking along Beach Dr., or take bus 1 or 2 to St. Patrick/Central.
Cell Phone
Please bring your cell phone so that we can communicate if needed - you will have reception everywhere. And you'll probably want to take a lot of photos. A ziplock bag protects your phone from splashes. We can provide you with a dry bag if needed.
What to bring
Unless it is raining you should bring a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses. A change of clothes (if you want to go out afterwards), water bottle and some snacks. We can safely store anything you don't want to bring in the kayak or on the SUP with you.
Clothing
Depending on the weather you should bring a swim suit, rain jacket or sweater. You will get drops of water from paddling on you - fast drying athletic or merino wool shirts are best but not required. Watershoes or sandals are a good choice.
Kayaks/ SUPs
We offer comfortable touring kayaks. Our stable double kayaks are ideal for children, larger paddlers, or anyone who would like to share the paddling experience. Our SUPs are stable 11 foot all-rounder boards. We also provide life jackets, spray skirts, bilge pumps, ropes, and water proof bags.
Getting ready
It takes a few minutes to fit you with the right equipment and get you set up. We'll give you a quick safety briefing and answer all your questions before you launch your boat/board.
