September 28th – October 4th, 2027

Vancouver Island, British Columbia 

Two distinct coastlines. One West Coast experience.

Surge Narrows, located off Quadra Island, offers fast-moving tidal currents, standing waves, and dynamic features ideal for refining boat control in moving water. The area is well known for its tidal play and opportunities to work eddylines, ferries, and rescues in current.

On the southwest coast of Vancouver Island, Port Renfrew is home to rugged rock gardens, sea caves, and exposed coastal paddling. The dynamic coast offers a little something for everyone.

SKILL DEVELOPMENT

Our low student-to-coach ratios mean we can meet you where you are and take full advantage of the environment each day. This sea kayaking trip is designed to challenge you in ways that are accessible and fun, with real progress you can feel.
