Hello Fellow Adventurers!
Adventuress Sea Kayaking would love to take you all out paddling to enjoy the awesome wilderness we have off these shores of Vancouver Island. We know how important it is to mental health and elevation of spirits to get outside and exercise. Kayaking offers us a chance to de-stress, breathe fresh air and exercise, all the while enjoying the wildlife and beauty of our Nanoose area. We had a covid-safe season last year (2020) and feel blessed that kayaking is one activity where we can social distance, enjoy the camaraderie of fellow paddlers and keep safe.
UPDATE – January 18, 2021: Adventuress will be opening in March for tours, rentals, lessons and our Paddle Canada Basic and Level 1 Kayaking Courses. Adventuress Sea Kayaking agrees to provide, to the best of our ability, covid-safe tours, rentals, and lessons according to Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) government regulations. According to our Provincial Health Minister, Dr. Bonnie Henry, there is an infinitesimal chance of getting the virus while outside and maintaining social distancing and not gathering in large groups. As well public parks are opened at this date and we feel it is now in the best interest to our clientele to offer these outdoor wilderness experiences.
To ensure public and Adventuress staff safety, Adventuress has written Covid-Safe Guidelines which include protocols on social distancing, small group size, kayak and gear cleanliness, instruction, payment and signing of waivers. We also ask that you have not had COVID-19 or been around anyone who has, are currently in good health, have been following the government safety guidelines and quarantining for 14 days if you have been travelling internationally. Call Jan at 250.755.6702 or email adventuress@shaw.ca to book your tours and lessons.
