This is an amazing way to start any day. Get up bright and early for a scenic sunrise kayak in Bennett Bay and enjoy the views.

The tiny island of Mayne is located in the chain of Gulf Islands just off the coast of Vancouver Island. For a small Island that can be biked across in a couple of hours, it offers some amazing views and photo opportunities. Mayne Island is just a stop away from Victoria and is located right above Pender Island.

Grab your Kayak or Canoe and head out for a paddle at sunrise and check out the calm water of Bennett Bay on the Eastern side of Mayne and hopefully the popping colours of the Island sunrise.

If you don't have your own Kayak, call Blue Vista Resort or Mayne Island Resort to get a rental. (Be sure to get your kayak in advance as they are known for being very unorganized). Parking is available at the Resorts for free and you can also park anywhere alongside the road.

The Mayne island resort is a lovely and enticing place to stay on the water on Mayne island, great place to go for a paddle via kayak or canoe. It is clean, comfortable and welcoming. We would recommend it to anybody looking for a place to stay on main island. The views are fantastic, the rooms are great and the staff were welcoming

Bike Ride on South Pender Island

Poets Cove Resort & Spa has hourly bike rentals available, nice for folks staying on their boats in the marina who likely don't have room for bikes. Starting from the bottom of the hill in the harbour, bike about 3 KM along Gowland Point Rd and end at the beach, a solid spot to cool down and prepare yourself for the trip back to the harbour.

Hike Up Reginald Hill

From the Fulford ferry terminal, turn left onto Morningside Drive and follow the road to the end, where you’ll find a small area to park your car. From here, head up towards the subdivision and keep an eye out for the trail marker on your left, located 100m past the gate into Reginald Hills Estate.The first half of the hike is relatively flat, taking you through Douglas Fir and Hemlock forests,...

Kayak Ganges Harbour

Salt spring island has plenty of amazing put in points for an afternoon of sea kayaking, but the ganges harbour is sheltered and easily accessible.For the put in points you have two options: The salt spring marina or churchill beach. Churchill beach would be the easier of the two with the added benefit of not having to paddle through the marina. From town follow lower ganges road, turn right on...

Kayak Camp on Stuart Island

The northwestern-most point of the San Juan Islands, Stuart Island, is arguably the most gorgeous island to circumnavigate. Unfortunately, as Stuart Island is 16 miles away from the closest ferry port, there is no simple way to get there in one day. A couple of options to get there include:1) Once at Friday Harbor find a transfer to Roche Harbor (or if you are taking your car on the ferry to Fr...

Hike Mount Maxwell

From Ganges head south on Fulford-ganes road toward Fulfrod harbour. Turn right on Dukes road then a right on Seymour Heights. Seymour Heights turns into a dirt road, with a number of pot holes but nothing a non 4x4 car can't handle. At the trail head there is a small turn around and not a ton of parking; this trail head isn't used very often so you don't have to be worried. The trail you will ...

Hike to Lovers Leap on Stuart Island

This hike is only doable if you are already on Stuart Island! There is no public transportation to Stuart Island, so you must already be there or have a plan to be there in order to complete this hike.I frequent this island during the summer months and it is one of my favorites. I always stay in Prevost Harbor, located on the north side of the Island. Leaving from Prevost, follow the general tr...
