Cautionary Note
Although the southern gulf islands offers a relatively
protected environment for sea kayaking compared to areas exposed
to the open ocean, there are still considerable dangers. These
dangers include, but are not limited to, strong winds, rough seas,
swift tidal currents and large boat traffic. Therefore, we recommend
that only intermediate and experienced paddlers with skills in
self-rescue, interpreting weather and sea conditions and reading
tide and current tables embark on overnight kayak adventures.
Mayne Island Kayaking is not responsible for your
safety or the safety of the equipment.
