Guided Half-Day Island Exploration

by A Paddle in the Park

This half day guided kayak tour is ideal for beginners or those who desire to connect with nature by enjoying a leisurely paddle through captivating ocean shores and secluded inter-tidal zones. Locations explored include Lewis Bay, a well-liked harbour seal hang-out and Musclow Islet, where a mating pair of Mute swans have made their home. View abundant wildlife in fantastically scenic habitat while gliding in the comfort of your own easy-to-maneuver kayak. A professionally certified kayak guide serves as your leader.

  • This guided kayak experience takes you on a journey through small channels and islets.
  • Fascinating geological rock formations dot the shores, rich blue skies are typically found overhead, and smooth waters make for comfortable travel.
  • Spotting the occasional shell midden serves as a reminder of the area’s rich first nations history.
  • You’ll stop at a beach to stretch your legs and take pleasure in a self-packed picnic lunch.
