Day tours launching from Okeover Inlet, BC. Please read on for more information on this area, our guides, and our day tours. Below you will also find information on how to book, our cancellation policy, what to bring, what we provide and more. Lund is a key launching point for two primary destinations: Savary Island and the Copeland Islands Marine Park. Savary Island is locally known as the "Hawaii of the north" due to the vast sandy beaches that encompass the entire island. A dry climate nurtures unique plants and animals that are indicative of the coastal dune ecology on the island. On the south beaches of Savary Island lie hundreds of massive boulders left behind by the ancient glaciers. This morraine provides wonderful habitat for all kinds of wildlife both above and below the water. Above the water one will often find Harbour Seals and Bald Eagles sunning on these large erratic boulders. Below the water Sea Stars cling to the rocks while Red Rock and Dungeness Crabs scurry for cover amongst the boulders and eel grass. 
The Copeland Islands Marine Park is locally called "The Ragged Islands". This cluster of rocky islands and islets provides the perfect setting for exploration by sea kayak. The many coves, bays, channels and varied shorelines beckon the sea kayaker around each corner. Around one corner you may find massive clusters of Purple Sea Stars while around the next corner you may find the more elusive Vermillion Star. With varied paddling and wonderful views towards the Strait of Georgia and the spine of Vancouver Island, the Ragged Islands are a worthy destination. Rockfish Kayak's guides are experienced and knowledgeable. Each day tour begins with a brief introduction to ensure a safe, enjoyable paddle. While paddling, our guides are there to provide more than safety and route knowledge. Each guide is also your personal interpretor - revealing the hidden treasures of this rich environment. After all, without a guide, would you know that a Leather Star actually smells like garlic? You have to take a massive whiff, it's kind of pungent, but garlic it is! Whatever piques you're interest, be it history, folklore, or perhaps even gaining a perspective on the issues that affect local water and land use planning, our guides are there for you. Whether you're a complete neophyte or an experienced paddler, we welcome you to join us as we dip our paddles into the majestic waters surrounding Lund, BC. Rockfish Kayak Day ToursCoastline Explorer - "A Wonderful Prelude" Leaving the Lund harbour, this tour heads due south. The varied shoreline provides wonderful viewing of intertidal marine life as it clings to the plunging rock faces. Large cracks and crevaces in the fractured rock resemble caves on certain tides and beckon kayakers inside. Spring can be especially nice as the winter run-off waters cascade beautifully over the steep granite walls and into the ocean below. Ragged Islands Explorer - "Discover the Copeland Islands Marine Park" The Copeland Islands Marine Park is definitely a classic sea kayaking destination. The many islands and islets, channels and coves provide wonderful meandering opportunities. Views towards the northern Strait of Georgia and Vancouver Island are beautiful. Marine life is abundant. Savary Reefs Explorer - "A Geological Kayak Adventure"
The shallow waters of this area stretch miles from shore. Due to the rocky moraine, power boaters avoid this area as if each rock was a land mine - yet another positive feature and a great reason to explore this area by sea kayak. Please contact Rockfish Kayak for more information. |
