Indulge yourself in the amazing sights and sounds of Tofino’s waters from the perfect perch of a kayak or canoe. There couldn’t be a more idyllic backdrop. Temperate rainforests follow jagged coastlines, extraordinary mountains pierce the indigo skyline, and cool pure waters embrace nature’s treasures. This is a genuine west coast experience. From the strategic position of your kayak or canoe, you’ll become an intricate part of the expanse that surrounds you and have access to inlets and shorelines unreachable from larger vessels.

Most tours are suitable to every experience level, and many are family friendly. Expect that you may see diverse marine wildlife, from eagles and herons, to sea lions, seals, sea otters and even whales. Come along, and let’s get paddling!
