Gulf Islands Kayaking has been offering weekly tours in BC since 1982 and in Costa Rica since 1987.

 

SEA KAYAKING THE GULF ISLANDS OF
BEAUTIFUL BRITISH COLUMBIA

No experience necessary for most of our trips!
We also offer full Expeditions and the Paddler's Challenge

At Gulf Islands Kayaking we specialize in introducing beginners to sea kayaking with a relaxed, easy-paced approach. A group size limited to 6 ensures that individual attention and instruction are received.

Whether you choose one of our day tours, or a longer camping trip, your dockside orientation will be a good introduction to the sport; covering essential kayaking safety and paddling techniques. This will inspire confidence and prepare you to explore the unique environment of the Canadian Gulf Islands.

What's so special about Galiano?
Galiano Island is well known in the Canadian paddling world for having Trincomali Channel, which is a long tract of calm, protected water with minimal tide. We enjoy a unique micro-climate with more sun, less wind and rain than anywhere else on the northwest coast.

Rock, water, forest and wildlife (and our experienced and hospitable guides) will offer you an exceptional and memorable experience.
