WHAT OUR GUIDES SAY
"Thanks for the awesome week of paddling in Nootka Sound. I really appreciated your joyful, calm, supportive demeanor. You guys are a great team and it was an absolute pleasure getting to learn from you. You really got the fire burning beneath me and reignited my passion for sea kayaking.''
''Taking guests out on the water is so much more than just paddling, it's an incredibly important platform that we as guides need to harness to promote stewardship and inspire others to protect the ocean.''
