Mayne Island, Kayaking & Canoeing

Great kayaking - for all levels - can be found throughout the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve. My personal favourite trip this past summer was a guided tour with Blue Vista Kayaking on Mayne Island. We launched from Bennett Bay and had a 3 hour paddle around some beautiful islets that form part of the Reserve. The water clarity was amazing so we saw lots of underwater marine life - including spiny sea stars. The icing on the cake was seeing seals and their cubs.
