Bowen Island Sea Kayaking offers guided kayak tours, rentals, and lessons on the waters around Bowen Island, just a short trip from Vancouver.

With over 25 years on the water, the team runs everything from easy half-day shoreline paddles to full-day trips out to the Pasley Islands and multi-day expeditions through Howe Sound, with small guide-led groups suited to complete beginners and experienced paddlers alike. Popular options include a 3-hour Shoreline Tour past Finisterre Island or toward Apodaca Beach, and an evening Sunset Tour through the Pasley Islands.

For those who’d rather go it alone, single and double kayak rentals are available by the half-day or longer, including multi-day rentals for paddlers heading out to BC Marine Trail campsites — all rentals come with safety gear, basic instruction, and route advice.

Kayaking lessons range from introductory paddling and capsize recovery classes to full Paddle Canada Level 1 certification, taught in small classes.
