A MUST DO WHILE VISITING VICTORIA, B.C.!! - My wife and I are in Victoria, B.C. celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary and we were lucky enough to hook up with Jamie Dawson - General Manager/Owner of Ocean River Sports and his lovely wife Kim to take us on a private kayak tour of Victoria Harbour on "their day off". We were also luck enough to have a great visit with Kim and Jamie after our paddle to learn how professional and passionate they are towards the business. Top quality people, plus top quality equipment, plus a high level of passionate for their business equated to an experience of a lifetime. An absolute pleasure...truly!! Thank you so much for making our special day…special. We HIGHLY recommend this company for ANYONE who has that adventurous spirit within themselve!!

Great experience Kayaking in the Gorge - The entire crew were very professional from start to finish. They wanted us to have a great time and the focus was always on safety. Know your gear, know the route and why the choices were being made. Very impressed with Tracy, George and Nathaniel and all the support Crew back at the base. Learned a lot about how to use a kayak, the history of the Gorge area and opportunities to learn more. Highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to get out on the water.

Excellent experience - Excellent from start to finish. Managed the groups ability well, enabling us to make it out to an island with 🦭. We also saw jellyfish, river otters, 🦅 and herons. Very positive environment and experience. David

Harbor tour - It was very fun! I do wish we spent longer kayaking in the water (we were in there for less than the paid time) but the tour guides were pleasant and helpful, and it was an enjoyable experience. We got to see harbour seals too. The water was too choppy to go see the harbor, so we stayed in the gorge. While it was a shorter paddle, it was a lovely one.
