Vancouver Island kayaking vacation

Our company is a Vancouver Island based, Canadian owned company. We are longtime residents of Vancouver Island and are connected to the communities we work in on many levels. We contribute to the neighbouring communities by purchasing all of our ingredients locally, using fresh organic items whenever possible.

We take our commitment to environmental responsibility very seriously. We believe that everything we do has the potential to impact our world. Our goal is to not only provide kayaking tours that allow our guests the opportunity to form an intimate bond with Vancouver Island, but to do so through sustainable sea kayaking programs that promote environmental awareness and safety. Our commitment to sustainability means environmental stewardship is a primary focus for our company.

Our company is dedicated to supporting our local First Nations through open dialogue, respect of First Nation culture, consultation and by hiring First Nations to work with us. Our goal is expose our customers to the rich and unique history of the local First Nations by having our guests join tours organized and operated by the First Nations people whenever possible. We continue to remain in contact with local First Nations, offering input to their consultants as well as to them directly when requested. All of our campsites have undergone a referral process with local First Nations involvement.

We strive to reduce, reuse and recycle in all aspects of the operation of our business, and to reduce or eliminate the consumption of non-renewable resources whenever possible. Our office supplies are all made from recycled materials and all resources used on our kayaking tours are brought back and recycled at the end of our kayaking tours. As stewards of the land our goal of conservation is achieved by following the principles of low impact camping and environmental responsibility while we are on our kayaking tours. We dissuade the use of soap in freshwater streams and lakes, deal with human waste in the most appropriate manner and endeavor to lessen our impact by using established camps and trail networks.

The Pacific Ocean is rich with a diverse range of Intertidal life and marine mammals, some endangered. Preservation of these unique habitats is a primary concern for our company and we achieve this by educating our guests on the importance of preserving these varied eco systems. Your involvement on our tours assists us in achieving our goals of raising awareness of these sensitive areas.
