CHROME ISLAND KAYAK ADVENTURE Chrome Island is a tremendous ly beautiful marine outpost with much history, which makes it a wonderful focal point for a pad dling adventure. We often see deer stepping on the beach and through the forest on Denman Island as we paddle down the South end of the island towards our stopping spot at Boyle Point Provincial Park. It’s really beau tiful to take the gaze southward to take in views of Lasqueti and the Strait of Georgia. This tour is more rugged and exposed, par ticipants should be agile enough to walk on rocky beaches and strong enough to paddle for 30 40 minutes at varying paces. #11795 Monday August 28 We’d like to take you and your father on a kayak tour of the ghost ships of Royston. Let’s celebrate our Father’s with a very special, immersive expe rience with a kayak tour of the Ghost Ships of Royston. These massive hulks are resting on the ocean floor, mere ghosts of their former glory, but no thanks to the wind and waves they still reach quite high into the air. We’ll paddle near them to enjoy the full effect and appreciate the flora and fauna that have made these wrecks their home. #11798 Sunday June 11 10:00 am - 2:30 pm Comox Valley Kayaks $199 FATHER’S DAY KAYAK TOUR
