About Tofino Sea Kayaking
Tofino Sea Kayaking has been exploring the waters of Clayoquot Sound since 1988, making it one of the longest-running paddling outfitters on Vancouver Island's west coast. Based on the downtown waterfront at 320 Main Street, the company offers guided sea kayak tours through the sheltered inlets, islands, and old-growth rainforest shorelines that surround Tofino.
Their tour menu spans half-day paddles through Clayoquot Sound, full-day expeditions to more remote coastline, and multi-day camping trips that take paddlers deep into the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. They also run instructional courses for those looking to build skills, and rent single and tandem kayaks for independent day trips or overnight adventures. Family-friendly tours are available for children aged six and up.
What sets Tofino Sea Kayaking apart is nearly four decades of local knowledge — their guides know every channel, eagle nest, and bear-foraging beach in the area. The waterfront kayak centre doubles as a gathering spot with an espresso bar, deck, and harbour views, and their gear room stocks books and paddling supplies for the journey ahead.
