About the Tours
Exploring Ladysmith Harbour’s quiet little bay by kayak is a lovely way to spend some time, especially if this is your first time in a kayak!
Our 1 hour intro tours are perfect for first time paddlers, families and those who just want to get out and experience kayaking! You will explore the North-West side of the harbour, learning some local history and admiring the wildlife.
For the 2 hour wildlife tour, we will be paddling behind Woods, Bute, and Dunsmuir Islands and looking for a variety of air, land, and aquatic critters. Bald eagles, harbour seals, waterfowl and inter-tidal sea life are just some of the wildlife we see on a regular basis.
Discover why Harrowsmith Magazine named the Town of Ladysmith “One of the Prettiest Towns in Canada”. Find out why the harbour is the town jewel in this quaint, quiet community by the sea.
