Paddle. Discover. Connect.

 What to Expect

This guided paddleboard tour is more than just time on the water—it’s an opportunity to connect with your family, deepen your ocean literacy, and explore the natural world with a real marine biologist. We’ll launch from beautiful Brentwood Bay, glide past rocky shorelines, towering forests, and hidden coves, and discover the wonders of the Salish Sea—one paddle stroke at a time.

Along the way, we’ll stop for a shoreside picnic (bring your own) and take time to explore tidal zones and coastal habitats. Your guide will help you identify marine creatures and share stories about the life hidden just below the surface.

This is a relaxed, exploratory paddle that prioritizes curiosity, safety, and family bonding. Perfect for families with kids aged 8+, new or experienced paddlers, and anyone eager to explore the ocean together.
