Ride the tide deep into Lemmens Inlet: This Kayak Tour is the best way to escape the busyness of town and give yourself more time to soak in the beauty that surrounds you. Lemmens Inlet offers the most protected conditions for kayaking close to Tofino. Travel in calm waters right next to towering old growth forested mountains. Glide through small islands, and over shallow tidal flats, while quietly searching for wildlife. This tour includes a stop on a rocky outcropping next to the water to enjoy a rest and stretch your legs. Sometimes the guide will include a small forest hike if the conditions are appropriate.
All tours are fully guided by professional certified sea kayak guides.
