• Paddling Repulse Bay
  While staying on Denman Island on the seacliffs above Repulse Bay, I hauled a sit-on-top kayak down the steep stairway down to the rocky beach and launched into the bay, paddling a circuit in the rocky bay.   The advantage of a plastic sit-on-top kayak is that it can take the bumps on the haul down ...

• Paddling Malpeque Bay
  Some years ago we were touring Prince Edward Island and we chose to rent kayaks on the north side, paddling the calm and protected Malapeque Bay. There is an extensive area to paddle in.    Our paddling was into the shallow bay, then along the coast near the Cabot Bay Provincial Park. A sunny day with light winds ...
• Curlew Island Circuit
  While staying on Mayne Island, we tried to kayak every day, mostly launching from a boat launch near Horton Bay.    From that shoreline there are a number of routes.    The conditions (tides, channel currents, winds, etc.) will dictate the best route.    On this particular day the tide was out and the channel flow was strong, ...
• Belle Isles Tour
  From the east side of Mayne Island, there is a lot of good paddling along the shoreline, around bays, through channels, and around islands.   We paddled from the Horton Bay area around Curlew Island and out toward Georgia Strait to a chain of rocky islets called the Belle Isles.   They act like a breakwater to ...
• Georgeson Island Circuit
  Mayne Island has a number of fine paddling routes.   The best small boat launch is at a small point between Horton Bay and Bennett Bay on the east side of the island.    At either low or high tide, paddlers can paddle north or south along the coast or through channels.    Gulf Island National Park is ...
• Paddling the Galiano Island Shoreline
  We paddled out to Wallace Island on a calm day, so we went right through the middle of Trincomali channel, but on the way back 2  days later, the winds were stronger from the southeast so we did a crossing of the channel right to the bluffs of Galiano island, then followed the line of ...
• Pender Islands Paddling
  The Gulf Islands area has many opportunities for kayaking, using one of the islands as a starting point and paddling the bays, harbours, coastlines, and channels.   We have paddled out of Saturna, Galiano, Cortez, and Salt Spring Islands, and recently out of the Pender Islands.  With a short term decision to go to South ...
• Puntledge River to Comox Harbour
  The Puntledge River flows out of Comox Lake and continues right through the City of Courtenay, flowing into Comox Harbour.   Kayakers can launch their boats at a public boat launch at the end of 20th Street in Courtenay Airpark.   From  there, paddlers can either go upstream for a ways or they can paddle downstream ...
