Explore Saturna Island by Sea Kayak
Saturna Island sits at the edge of the southern Gulf Islands, remote and unhurried, surrounded by some of the most beautiful coastal waters in British Columbia. It is the kind of place where the ocean still feels wild, and where a kayak is the best way to experience it.
Fred Shadian and Ruth Daber have been guiding paddlers through these waters for years, bringing Paddle Canada certified instruction and an intimate knowledge of Saturna's shoreline, wildlife, local stories, and the currents and tides to every tour they lead. Whether you are stepping into a sea kayak for the first time or looking for a full day of advanced coastal paddling, there is a tour here for you.
Choose from scenic daytime paddles along dramatic sandstone cliffs and kelp-lined shores, magical evening outings beneath a full moon or glowing bioluminescent waters, circumnavigating Samuel Island with its strong tidal currents, or the ultimate challenge of the Taylor Point Paddle, an 11-nautical-mile journey along Saturna's wild south shore. Small groups, experienced guides, and one of Canada's most spectacular island settings.
