In the morning, you'll be picked up in Nanaimo, Victoria, or Cowichan Bay, and we'll travel together to the starting point of the tour. After an introduction to kayaking, we'll launch the boats and begin paddling. We'll stop for lunch along the way and reach our camp in the early afternoon, before the wind picks up. You can spend the afternoon at the camp or explore the surrounding area on foot.

Depending on the conditions, we either stay in base camp and explore the surroundings by kayak before the wind picks up in the afternoon, or we paddle on to a new campsite, discovering bays, channels and small islands along the way. On the northern tours starting in Cedar-by-the-Sea, Yellow Point, or Salt Spring Island, we mostly paddle in calm, sheltered waters north of Salt Spring Island. Possible destinations include Pirate's Cove, Dionisio Point, Wallace Island, Tent Island, and Montague Harbour. On the southern tours starting in Sidney, Swartz Bay, or Oak Bay near Victoria, we explore the islands south and east of Salt Spring Island, including Portland Island, Fulford Harbour, Prevost Island, Montague Harbour, Mayne Island, the Pender Islands, and Saturna Island. Here, currents and the traffic of large vessels such as ferries require greater attention.

After breakfast, we break camp and paddle back to the starting point, with time for exploring along the way. There, we unload the kayaks and pack up. Afterwards, we return to your accommodation, the ferry, or your vehicle. Our tours end where they began.
