Kayaking and Boating

Salt Spring is deemed by many to be the “Gem of the Pacific” and visitors return on a regular basis just to enjoy their kayaking or boating adventures.

Both kayaking and boating are very popular activities in the tranquil waters of our sheltered harbours.

Many first time kayakers are lured to try their hand with one of our three operators.

And boaters come in almost every size of vessel, from small craft to super-yatchs.

The shelterd waters between Vancouver Island and the mainland, and between the many small islands, are truly extraordinary.

Kayaking: 

This is one of the most popular water sports on the island. Many people try kayaking for their first time while visiting the island. It gives them a very memorable experience and for many it is the beginning of a new life long recreational activity. There are two kayak rental outlets on the island.  They offer kayaking lessons and guided tours and some have overnight packages as well.
