    We had a great day of kayaking with Jan Kretz owner of Adventuress Sea Kayaking Adventures in Northwest Bay near Parksville, British Columbia. There were two dads and two teenage boys in our group (one with special needs). Jan was terrific with boys taking time to explain everything but making sure we got into the water fairly quick. Her equipment is in great shape and she was very organized for our afternoon excursion. We saw lots of marine life including some large California Sea Lions. We definitely will be back!

Welcome to Adventuress Sea Kayaking

Hello Fellow Adventurers & Adventuresses!

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 the last three years and feel blessed that kayaking is one activity where we can social distance, enjoy the camaraderie of fellow paddlers and keep safe.  

Call Jan at 250.755.6702 or email adventuress@shaw.ca to book your tours and lessons.
