Plan Your Paddle Adventure
Welcome to our Paddle Centre! Whether you’re gliding through still waters on a solo rental or joining our guided cultural experiences, you’re in good hands. All of our experiences are designed with care, safety, and connection to land and water in mind.
Our Cultural Land Ambassadors — shíshálh, non-shíshálh, and settler alike — are trained, certified, and passionate about creating unforgettable moments on the Salish Sea.
Begin your Journey.
Every journey begins with a choice — to slow down, to listen, to move with the rhythm of the water. Whether you’re setting out solo or with one of our Cultural Land Ambassadors, this is your invitation to experience the land and sea with heart and purpose.
Explore the experiences below.
Each tile will guide you to our booking platform where you can view availability, complete your waiver, and reserve your time on the water. Whether it’s a quick paddle or a full-day excursion, your next adventure begins here.

Canoe
Classic. Quiet. Capable.
