A Guided Kayak Tour In the Gulf Islands
August 7, 2022
$170No experience necessary, all gear & food provided for a days paddling with an experienced guide. Single or double kayaks are available.
Launching from our paddling center at Port Sidney Marina, join us a on a day paddle & picnic in the Gulf Islands. An ideal paddling location, the Gulf Islands are one of the most beautiful and accessible archipelagos in the world. Distances are short, scenery is varied, and, despite the close proximity, civilization seems worlds away. Add the chance to see killer whales, bald eagles, seals, sea lions and otters, and you have the makings for a grand wildlife outing while barely leaving your launch site.
Several of the Islands including Sidney Island are accessible in a day. Depending on the groups paddling ability Mandarte Island is a little further, an island east of Sidney Island B.C. and supports the largest sea bird colony in the surrounding area. The island is a First Nation reserve and approximately 8000 sea birds nest on this island. Along with glaucous-winged gulls, pelagic and double-crested are breeding
