Kayaking day tours from Quadra Island are a great way to spend a day relaxing in the sun. Your sea kayaking adventure begins with basic kayak instruction from your guide, then you're off sea kayaking for the day.

Paddling your nimble craft, kayak and paddler quickly become one. Often our guides refer to new kayakers taking to the kayak "like a duck to water." It really is very simple to move your kayak along with the help of a professional guide there to instruct and give pointers. Soon you forget you have learned a new skill and begin taking in the scenery. Awe the scenery. Ringed with mountains imposing into the sky and crystal clear waters our sea kayaking paradise around Quadra Island becomes almost mystical.

Wild life is abound is this rich environment and we regularly see seal basking on rocks, or following us for a better look. Eagles soar in the blue and are dependably perched in trees as we explore our coast as if posing for your camera. Dalls porpises, sea lions, river otters, Harlequin Ducks and Mergansers are among the regulars with the occasional White sided Dolphins and less occasional seen Killer Whale.

Of course you have left your watch behind, but when the felling is right and the sun is highest in the sky we pull onto a secluded shore, often a small island were your guides will lay out a shore lunch, the likes of which you have never seen. Relaxing on the beach, we enjoy our delicious meal and fresh cool drinks while we soak in the wonderful scenery and contemplate life.

Our afternoon kayaking finds us following a wonderful shoreline pausing occasionally to experience the intertidal life as your guide points out life forms that are often completely missed. At the end of the day you have experience the beauty of British Columbia's coast, enjoyed the sensation of gliding along the ocean in a sea kayak and likely developed a deeper kinship with our environment.
