Pasley Island Sunset
This tour combines our Pasley Island Discovery Tour with our extremely popular Sunset Tour. The start time is later in the day and changes through the season so that we time the end of the 6 hour tour to coincide with the sunset.
The Pasley Island group is a beautiful archipelago of eight islands tucked between Bowen and the Sunshine Coast. The kayaking here is arguably the nicest day trip in the Lower Mainland. The tour starts on the west side of Bowen Island where we prepare to launch from Tunstall Bay Beach. During this afternoon and evening tour, we weave in and out of the Pasleys, paddling among seals and watching the bald eagles soar overhead. We’ll take a dinner break on a beach where you can swim or simply take in the surrounding beauty. After dinner, we will paddle back to Tunstall Bay to watch the sunset across the water.
Prior paddling experience is highly recommended for full day tours. Children should be age 13+
Two person minimum, $205 + GST each includes shuttle. Advance reservations are required.
This tour is suitable for adults and teens ages 13+. We recommend that everyone have some basic kayaking experience as it will be a full day of activity.
We start with on-land instruction to ensure that you are comfortable and confident before launching your kayak. Our paddler to guide ratio is 6:1 ensuring your safety on and off the water. Your guide will be happy to share some paddling tips to ensure you have the best trip possible and they are always on the lookout for amazing wildlife to enjoy with you.
We launch directly from the beach at Tunstall Bay.
If you require a ride to Tunstall Bay we will meet at the shop in Snug Cove and shuttle you there.
