Howe Sound Tour

Would you like to experience some of “Super Natural” British Columbia but don’t have time to travel to the northern parts of the province? Howe Sound provides spectacular paddling within a few paddle strokes of downtown Vancouver. The Coast Mountains frame the eastern shore and the waters reflect the wildness and beauty of the Tantalus range to the north. One can spend a week or more in the Sound discovering the many wilderness campsites accessible only by kayak. Allow us to guide you around the islands, provide sublime outdoor meals and introduce you to the history and wonder of Howe Sound.
