Sea Kayaking and Safety

Your safety is our number one priority both on the water and ashore. Guiding sea kayaking trips is our profession so we take it very seriously. Our unblemished 25 plus year safety record is proof of our commitment to operational safety standards and best practices . We have always been at the forefront of sea kayak safety, we were charter members of the first professional sea kayak guides association – the Association of Canadian Sea Kayak Guides  ACSKG) and helped draft the first (and still recognized! ) set of guidelines safety standards for the sea kayaking industry.

We have emergency  and contingency plans in place for all our areas of operation and we conduct ongoing risk assessment and management. Our biggest safety feature is our world-class, certified, professional guide team – you will appreciate the difference that they make.
