Sea-Kayaking Tours & Excursions for Small Groups

Atlantic Canada is a paradise for coastal paddlers. It is deeply satisfying to experience the coastlines this close to the water.

Daily excursions are provided privately, on demand, and will give you ample opportunities to explore remote inlets, quiet coves, sandy beaches, and old fishing villages (many of which are still in use!) as you paddle. The beautiful offshore islands harbor a wide variety of wildlife, and the clarity of the water off these coasts will astound you. Enjoy optional short hikes and taste the salty ocean air as you are served fresh picnics on the Atlantic coast.

These sea-kayaking tours are suitable for experienced paddlers, as well as beginners. The guides provide instruction and support throughout the tour. Accommodations are in comfortable inns and guesthouses, with all meals and transportation included. You will be in a lightweight boat, with the comfort of inviting seafood dinners prepared by local chefs and a dry bed at the end of each day.

Activity Levels

To help you choose an appropriate level of daily challenge, we use elevation profiles to represent the route, and a challenge-rating system using symbols from the skiing world. Many of you will already be familiar with it; If not, here is a brief explanation. Note that these classifications may vary with weather and/or road conditions, and you should always arrive with a sense of fun and adventure. If you are unsure, choose a guided trip. The vehicle support can help you get over any hill, and can turn even the most difficult trip into an easy one.

The easiest routes we offer, these are generally flat and cover relatively relaxed distances. You will be comfortable riding a hybrid bike, walking in sneakers, or paddling a light kayak, and will normally have time to take many photos and enjoy extended lunches.

 

This is primarily an easy route, but some days may fall into the moderate category. You can expect time to stop and smell the roses, but some of the rides may be on more hilly terrain.

 

Requiring moderate fitness levels, these cover terrain with hills and valleys, and tend to include distances of 50-80km (30-50mi.)/day cycling, or 3-6 hours of walking per day. Most Freewheeling Adventures fall into this category, and are suitable for most ability levels.

 

This is primarily a moderate route, suitable for most ability levels, but some days may be a little more challenging. You can expect some long distances, and/or some big climbs/descents.

 

The most challenging trips, these include longer distances, bigger hills, long hikes, exposed paddling, and full days of activity. We recommend a higher degree of fitness and training to make the most of the experience.

 

There is also a rare double black diamond, reserved for only the most difficult adventures.
