We had the best time! My husband and I had no kayaking experience, just canoeing, but Brad and Katharine were great. Brad took us out and around the harbor and out to the kelp beds teaching and guiding all the way...saw all types of sea life...and Katharine handed around the sunscreen after checking us in and helping us to get...

My wife and I decided to embark on our first kayak tour. Neither of us had ever been in a kayak and I must say that this tour fits the bill. The guide was great and very informative. You get to see Victoria from a new perspective. The wind was up during our trip so we stayed in the shelter... More

We received such a warm welcome, great tips and were impressed by Catherine's attention to detail. She made sure we had everything we would need for a relaxing paddle around the harbour. From containers of water on the deck, offers to lend us jackets and sunscreen to a unique launch system to get us in and out of the water... More

My mom and I went on a trip to Victoria together, I love outdoor pursuits and she's willing to give things a try, but she has not had a lot of exposure to water sports in particular. I wanted to try sea kayaking with her but was very nervous about taking her out. The staff at Kelp Reef Adventures assured... More

I had a wonderful day out with this company last year, and can only highly recommend them!! Brad, the owner, guides a big deal of his tours himself, and is not only very professional about getting the people familiar with equipment, techniques etc, but also very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the Salish sea. With enthusiasm and humor,... More

I convinced a friend to come along on a kayaking tour of the inner harbour. We booked for the late afternoon / evening tour. While you can rent kayaks in a number of places around the Inner Harbour, unless you are familiar with the seaplane takeoff signals and movements of the Coho and the little ferries, you are better off...

My husband and I took a long weekend to Victoria and, due to good reviews, booked Kelp Reef Adventures in advance. We weren't disappointed. Our guide for the 2 hour session was Brad, but all staff we encountered were really friendly and chilled out. I always get a bit anxious doing outdoor things that fall into the perceived "male" domain... More

The staff and guides of Kelp Reef Adventures were very helpful. The tours were not only interesting but Brad was very knowledgeable concerning eco systems and the environment. Learning about Bull kelp was a hands on experience that we wish everyone could share. He took us where the breeding grounds of the harbour seals and had us proceed with respect... More

I just returned from my first visit to Victoria B.C. I spent two days exploring the city and by far the best part of my trip was the 2 hour Kayak tour with Kelp Reef Adventures. Brad and Kathryn (the owners) were friendly, kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. I'm an inexperienced Kayaker and was traveling alone so I was a... More
