Description
The sheltered waters of the Southern Gulf Islands archipelago are ideal for paddlers of all ages and experience levels. The scenery is spectacular and the marine environment teeming with wildlife, seabirds and intertidal species. Enjoy adventurous days of kayaking along picturesque islets plus an evening paddle in the moonlight, watching the magical phosphorescence dance off the blades of our paddles. This expedition highlights nature exploration enhanced by the knowledge of our exceptional, professional Level 3 guides. Enjoy a diverse meal selection of wholesome sumptuous food, much of it organic and grown locally with veggies primarily from our son Jade’s Backwoods Farm.
We camp at two different locations in the Gulf Islands Marine Park which may include Prevost, Wallace and Dionisio. The scenery of this area is stunning with its white shell beaches and sculpted sandstone formations along the shorelines. The route is dependent on the weather but we have many choices with the abundance of islands within close proximity. Options may be available for a Stroke and Rescue Clinic in the afternoon before the trip and at an additional cost.
