Kayak Harbour Tour, 2 hours - Booked as part of our trip via travel agent. Was EXCELLENT, our guide was a young man, who was very knowledgeable locally and took us all around the harbour and through some 'secret' passages. We saw birds and seals . Our guide was also very safety conscious and aware of the harbour protocols. We took swimmers, leggings, a light sweater and beach shoes, this was fine, you can leave bags in a box, whilst kayaking. Thoroughly recommended.

Great experience! - Great tour of the Victoria Harbour! The doubles sea kayak with rudder was so easy to maneuver and Brian was a great guide! We appreciated that we had a small tour (it was just us!) and got to go far up the Gorge. Thanks, Brian for helping us navigate the current at the Reversing Falls, it was lots of fun!

The best views of the harbour - We had a beautiful trip around the harbour: seaplanes, water taxis, boats and even ban seals. Our guide was chatty and informative. He also kept a close eye on us to make sure that we stayed in formation. You will get wet so wear your gym clothes! It is gentle kayaking but I would avoid if you have a mobility problem.

Harbor Kayak - our Guide Taylor was very knowledgeable about the Harbor we toured. She fixed up everyone with pfd's and we wasted no time getting to the safety speech and basic's of paddling.

Great trip for all levels - I took my niece and nephew for their graduation trip. The loved it! We paddled around the harbor, behind fisherman’s wharf, between the houseboats and out to the mouth of the harbor. We saw all kinds of wildlife. It was a lovely calm day and not too strenuous. Kaelen was a wonderful guide and full of all kinds of information about the harbor and its activities. We all agreed we really enjoyed it and would definitely do it again.

Oarsome! - Excellent activity. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Victoria who likes to get active on the water. Our instructor, Nathaniel, was incredibly patient, knowledgeable and calm. We originally booked the sunset session, but - very wisely - this was rescheduled to avoid dangerous weather conditions. I haven't kayaked since school, and my partner has never kayaked. However, with Nathaniel's help, we were soon paddling away confidently - and at a great pace. It was brilliant fun and very good value.
