Our Mad Skillz

My husband and I enjoyed a fantastic introduction to sea kayaking this afternoon with a patient and encouraging guide. This is a great way to get a different view of Victoria and get up close to the aquatic wildlife (we saw seals, heron, otters and jelly fish…oh my!).
Great guide and a fantastic trip to seal island. Lots of things to see including a seal that swam over to say hello!
Had an awesome trip today at an amazing price. Joanna is awesome and knowledgeable, and made me feel right at home. Spent 2 1/2 hours out on the water in beautiful weather, would fully recommend to anyone!
Wonderful experience paddling with my 8 year old son for his birthday. Not sure how but they managed to make the sun shine on a rainy day. ;) Our guide took the time to make the trip fun, easy and educational. It was worth every penny!
Absolutely lovely, knowledgeable, friendly guides….stunning scenery and wildlife….accessible and inclusive for small children! We’ve been twice and we’ll be back!
The dock rats set us up right, with cheap water and borrowed hats and personal floatation devices that, while not all that personal, actually fit properly! They also provided excellent instruction on how to have fun yet not get chopped to pieces by nearby sea planes. Thanks a million for a wonderful time!
Loved starting my morning with a 7AM row out to Seal Island! This is an activity that a newbie can do alongside someone more experienced & both can have a great time. Try it!

Why choose Victoria Kayak for your Tour or Rental?

Convenient location.

Our convenient location near the Empress Hotel and the British Columbia Legislature means you are off to a historic start the moment you push off the dock.

Our kayak tours and rentals start and finish at our Main Office and floating docks on the Miners Landing Pier – right beside Red Fish Blue Fish … a must for visitors and locals alike.

Close to nature

Marine wildlife.

W e are not your average kayak joint!  Despite our outward web appearances we are stuffy Colonists with very little sense of humour.   And be forewarned, it is possible you may be paired with a French Canadian that just might hold a grudge.  If that happens, we suggest discussing Poutine and the poor winter driving skills of British Columbians.   Yup – that’s us in a nutshell.  How’s that for a WOW factor?

O ur kayaking tours & rentals take advantage of the stability of easy to paddle, ocean going kayaks. You will be outfitted in a life jacket (PFD) and given a thorough safety briefing and paddling instruction before departure from our “practice area” adjacent to our dock. Our outstanding location means that when the weather in the outer harbour is rough we can switch directions and proceed deeper into the sheltered waterways of the inner harbour and historic Gorge waterway.

W e are a locally owned and operated family business and every customer is important to us. We need you! Your patronage supports our community and our local suppliers. By choosing to support locally owned businesses, you help maintain Victoria’s diversity and distinctive flavor. Thank you.

Victoria Kayak respectfully acknowledges the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations, on whose traditional territories we live, work, and play.

  • crazydudechief 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles What a way to see Victoria! We had a great morning out on the open water with Frederico as our guide and it was our first time kayaking. We felt very safe and loved it. Great knowledge of the environment and just a lovely way to spend a morning and see Victoria from another angle! Lee was very accommodating due to other tours that we had booked trying to work it in to our plans which was just fantastic! Thanks so much would definitely recommend doing this.

  • harbrsl 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Great scenery! I took a short bus ride from downtown and showed up in this cute waterfront town. The staff at Ocean River were all really nice and helpful. They don't provide you with a lot of gear which surprised me since I paddle in places that need wetsuits and spray jackets. They did have a dry bag and partial spray skirt which I appreciated. We didn't leave the dock until 1045am so I was bummed when the tour only went until 1240pm. Given the literally perfect paddling weather, I would have liked some accommodation for the later departure due to late arrivals. That's the challenge with group tours but I would definitely go out with them again. I even recommended them to a couple I met in downtown Victoria the next day. Read more Written August 22, 2023
  • B4372QTdavidm 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Oak Bay (Victoria, BC) Kayak tour with Ocean River Sports Day tour out of Oak Bay Marina guided by Lee was great. The whole experience was super. The staff at Ocean River were great, and even called me the day before to review updates to the tour itinerary. Lee was a great guide and really knows the area. Even if you are capable of doing this yourself, it helps to have an experienced guide who knows where the tidal currents and eddies are to avoid wasted effort battling the currents as you tour the islands. Rental equipment was first rate. Saw lots of seals and waterfowl. Just missed an Orca pod by a few hours. Meaghan was taking a family out at the same time and her interaction with them also looked to be top notch. James has a full line of paddle gear from boats to booties at the paddle shack and was interesting to talk to to learn about their newest lineup of sea kayaks. Read more Written August 7, 2023

We learned about weather, tides and currents, some basic navigation, basic paddle skills, self-rescue and buddy rescue. Both instructors are very skilled with more than 15 years of paddling experience each.

Excellent experience with a small group and Janica as our guide with over 20 years experience and a real zest for the local area and wildlife. Casual but informative and very enjoyable as we saw several rare species, and unique events like a bald eagle catching a seagull from the water for lunch. Top quality brand new kayaks and very convenient location in Oak Bay. Also, as experienced kayakers with our own tandem we appreciated not being treated like amateurs even though the other couple had never paddled before. Nothing I would do to improve the experience and the cafe at the marina had very tasty bites and sandwiches for lunch afterwards. Read more Written June 8, 2023

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed kayaking in Oak Bay with the fabulous Frederico as our guide. We got to paddle through what can only be described as a kelp forest (think Finding Nemo directed by Tim Burton), then enjoyed the views as we tread the open water. Frederico guided us to an island filled with seals; it was a thrill to quietly watch them go about their seal business. During our tour, Frederico pointed out some interesting landmarks, told us about Takaya (a sea wolf who had lived alone on an island we passed), and helped us appreciate the birds we saw. The folks in our tour ranged in abilities from experienced paddlers to total newbie, and everyone was comfortable on the water and had a great time. This is an excellent tour!
