Few
areas in the world are as beautiful to explore by kayak as the coastal
waters of BC, with its jagged coastline and thousands of islands,
inlets and coves. British Columbia is one of the premier ocean kayaking
destinations in the world, whether you're new to the sport, looking
for an exciting adventure getaway, or simply out to improve your
paddling skills. The kayaking season is mid-May to September.

| Vancouver
Island & the BC Gulf Islands |
| Vancouver
Island's vast number of lakes, rivers and ocean inlets are a pleasure
to explore by canoe or kayak. The large, relatively isolated lakes
of the north and central portion of Vancouver Island are enclaves
of solitude. Kayakers glide through marine parks into scenic bays
and lagoons and go ashore on secluded sandy beaches and uninhabited
islands. |

destination for kayakers. |
