The gleam in the eyes of someone recalling a sea kayak outing says it all!

While they need not be exotic, heroic or unique, such experiences are often deeply felt, leaving behind indelible memories and a heightened sense of being alive.

Paddlers enjoy a virtuous spiral of improvement, gaining knowledge and skills that breed confidence to do more, the physical, mental, social and even spiritual benefits increasing with each cycle.

Those who have experienced the magic of sea kayaking are changed by it forever.

It starts with the ocean and our marine environment: vast, moody and challenging to our small craft floating on its surface. We increasingly learn its ways to stay safe and in doing so appreciate how important the seas are to life on Earth. We become, more than ever, champions of our oceans, lakes, rivers and the natural cycles that sustain them.

Learning to paddle a sea kayak is like learning to walk or ride a bicycle - integrating motion with agility and balance to move efficiently in a new way. First steps, rides and paddles take courage and faith, but the rewards for doing so are great! As their skills and confidence increase, many paddlers progress to exploring our amazing BC coast and some even go on to sea kayak in other parts of the world as well! 

Enjoying a healthy physical workout with like-minded friends in a gorgeous marine environment...

Life just doesn’t get much better than that!
