Fun
for all ages
The
Discovery Islands is the perfect family sea kayak adventure.
Swimming
in the lakes, beach combing, cooking marshmallows on the
fire. Kids love this trip.

Intertidal
life
The
Discovery Islands has some the most incredible intertidal
life on the coast.
This
leather star is one of the many species of sea stars
that live in our waters.

The
seals
The
Harbor Seals are plentiful in this area. These curious
creatures will often follow us as we paddle up Hoskyn
channel to the Octopus Islands.
The
seal population has made a great comeback in our area
and are a key element in our local bio-diversity.

 |
The
Octopus Islands
The
Octopus Islands, on the northern tip of Quadra Island,
are considered to be one of the best sea kayaking areas
in the Gulf of Georgia. Paddling this area is one of
the highlights of the tour.

Tranquil
evening
Everyone
has there own reason to get out and paddle. For some
it is the wildlife, others to get some good exercise,
but for most it is the peace and tranquility that you
can find in the quiet of a sea kayak.
|
 |
Meet
new friends
Couples,
singles, families or groups are welcome on all our tours.
When you end your tour, you will be leaving behind a
whole host of new friends that often become friends
for life.

Newton
Lake
On
one of our days we can enjoy a hike up to Newton Lake,
and treat ourselves to a well deserved and refreshing
dip in the crystal clear water.
The
only sounds around may be the melodic call of the Loon,
or sounds of exhilleration as we swim and absorb our
scenic surroundings.

Ever
changing scenery
This
photo was taken just outside of our launch site in Heriot
Bay.
There
is no question that we paddle in one of the worlds most
beautiful places on earth.

 |
The
Coast Mountains
The
Coast Mountains make a stunning backdrop to the Discovery
Islands tour.
This
photo was taken in the winter on one of our local paddling
outings.
The
snow stays on some of these mountain tops year round
giving it a very dramatic look throughout the year.
