Wow, we did a 2 hr rental in September and saw an astonishing amount of wildlife on an easy paddle around the harbor area. Porpoises were feeding near us, sea otters climbing onto rocks to bask, curious seals followed us and popped heads out, shore birds diving. A very small operation so be sure to call ahead. A very easy... More

Do to a communication mixup, my family group of nine from Alberta came out to an empty dock on the wrong day. I phoned Marsha, a co-owner, who promptly called out two staff members to rush out to meet us. As there was time pressure to get our tour in before sunset, Marsha talked me through some pre-preparation steps to... More

The Sunset Kayak Tour was the best kayaking trip I've ever taken. We saw beautiful scenery and wildlife (bald eagles, kingfishers and seals). Our guide was experienced and took good care of us. She even took pictures of the trip and emailed them to us afterwards. I definitely recommend A Paddle in the Park Kayaking! More

Absolutely wonderful! My wife had never kayaked before, and although I have some experience with rafting and canoeing, not really any with kayaking. Marsha made us feel comfortable, welcome, and equipped. The result was that we had one of the most memorable times we have ever had in our 16 years of marriage. Marsha is such a rare breed--professional and... More

Three if us took the Sunset Trip about 2 weeks ago and it was simply wonderful! We saw eagles, seals, otters, and multitiudes of birds. Our guide was fun to be out with and kept us intertained with stories. We would highly recommend going out with A Paddle In the Park. It was a blast and a half. :) More

I spent a lovely few hours paddling round the islands just off the shore in Sidney - this is a really great location for kayaking, much more picturesque and interesting than Victroria harbour where most tours go from, and near the ferry port to get back to the mainland. We saw loads of wildlife - seals, and otter, bald eagle,... More

What a perfect location to kayak from. Islands to explore. Wildlife to see. All this from Sidney,BC. Just at the north end of town. Parking, hotel nearby. Must bring a camera, in a zip bag, on a neck band. Compact. Long zoom lens the best. I was slightly over dressed, shorts would do, windbreaker a good idea. Runners/sandals OK I... More

We booked a half day, guided kayak trip with A Paddle in the Park in June 2010. We had an incredible day kayaking around the beutiful islands. We saw seals, star fish, bald eagles, jelly fish and the magnificant water views. Our guide Holly was great and very knowledgeable of the area and marine life. We would recommend A Paddle... More
