Sea Kayaking Adventures

Take it easy...on a sea kayaking adventure with O.A.R.S.

O.A.R.S. sea kayak tours allow outdoor enthusiasts of all ages and abilities to participate in this relaxing sport. Although you should be in reasonable physical condition, you do not have to be an athlete to enjoy one of our sea kayaking adventures. The techniques of paddling are relatively simple and easy to learn. The sea kayak is a welcome reprieve for hikers with weary knees and/or backs and opens up a new paddling realm for canoeists. All of O.A.R.S. sea kayaking trips are fully guided and have been designed for paddlers at every level of experience.

Whale Watching & Wildlife Viewing by Sea Kayak

The sea kayak is a low-impact, non-technical self propelled craft devised by the ancient Inuit peoples in the Arctic Ocean. Sea kayaks have evolved into stable, efficient and extremely sea worthy vehicles which makes wildlife observation excellent and totally unobtrusive.

Oceans play host to a multitude of marine life and allow us to silently explore the inaccessible coastal wilderness by sea kayak. O.A.R.S. also offers sea kayaking trips that explore North America's interior lakes and waterways allowing us to paddle to places once thought to be inaccesible. Inland from the tidal waters of our coastal regions, O.A.R.S. offers tours on both Jackson and Yellowstone Lakes in the heart of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Here you can explore the Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks from a unique perspective and camp in solitude at our exclusive wilderness camps.

Interested in whale watching on your sea kayaking trip? Then consider sea kayaking in the Sea of Cortez, which plays host to an easily accessible and abundant variety of wildlife, as do the Galapagos Islands. Johnstone Strait, near beautiful Vancouver Island, is internationally recognized as the best location to see wild Orcas in the wild, and nearly 300 of these killer whales return here each summer.

The warm waters and tropical paradise of Fiji are beckoning any time of the year, or for a more northern setting, paddle the pristine waters and enjoy sandy beaches with unlimited hiking terrain on our Kootenay Rockies Multi-Sport trip.
