About the Course
Finlayson Arm Fjord Tour
Paddle Into the Quiet Wonder of a Fjord
Step into the wild beauty of Vancouver Island on this 12 km stand-up paddleboarding journey through Finlayson Arm — a glacier-carved fjord framed by towering cedars, misty rock faces, and the quiet magic of the Salish Sea.
Launching from Brentwood Bay, we’ll paddle with the tides around Squally Reach and onward into the heart of Finlayson Arm, one of the region’s most breathtaking hidden gems. Eagles soar overhead, seals pop up to say hello, and the stillness of the fjord invites a sense of awe that’s hard to find in everyday life.
Led by certified Paddle Canada guides, this 5–6 hour experience is relaxed, supportive, and intentionally paced. Along the way, we’ll pause for shoreline breaks, snacks, and photos at hidden beaches and the stunning Spectacle Falls. Whether you're here to hone your skills, soak in the scenery, or simply reconnect with nature (and yourself), this tour is the perfect way to experience BC’s wild side from a new perspective.
