SUP the Gulf Islands
3hr Tour
Welcome to the BC Marine Trail!
Launch from the tip of the Saanich Peninsula and spend 3 hours exploring the waterways of Gulf Islands National Park Reserve.
Come with us and spend a magnificent few hours navigating our way through rocky islets and exploring some of the larger islands that form part of the BC Marine Trail.
Often guided by curious seals, we wind our way through flowing kelp beds and land on beautiful shell beaches to enjoy a rest, all the while feeling as though we are worlds away from civilization.
You will come away from this tour feeling rejuvenated and wanting to come back for more.
