Bring Your Student Group Together on the Water
Bring your class or club together on the water with our special student group rates for groups of 9 or more. From university classes to international student groups exploring BC, our team will help you build a paddling experience that’s fun, meaningful, and easy to organize.
Guided Group Tours – Explore Together!
Group Size: 9 – 50 people | Program Length: 2 – 5 hours | Starting at $47 + tax per person
Our most popular student group experience, designed for both first-time paddlers and those with previous experience.
Your student group will be welcomed by our certified guides and given a safety briefing and paddling orientation before setting out in kayaks or on stand-up paddleboards.
You will then paddle together through the southern islands of Say Nuth Khaw Yum (Indian Arm Park), enjoying the coastal scenery while your guides share insights into the area’s history, geography, and cultural significance. Depending on your group’s interests, guides can take a more interpretive approach or a relaxed, hands-off style that allows your group to explore at your own pace.
Your guides will then return the group safely to shore, leaving time to reflect and enjoy the shared experience.
Dragon Boat Tours – A Unique Group Experience
Group Size: 14 – 22 people | Program Length: 1.5 hours | Starting at $35 + tax per person
We have 1 dragon boat that can hold between 14-22 participants. The tours are 1.5 hours long and include an on-land safety briefing and a how-to-paddle talk from your 2 dragon boat guides. When you are on the water, you will have our 2 guides with you, 1 at the back steering and 1 at the front setting the rhythm, keeping everyone paddling in sync, and leading a series of fun, interactive challenges and games.
Group Paddling Lessons – Build Skills Together
Group Size: 9 – 30 people | Program Length: 2-8 hours | Starting at $50 + tax per person
Learning a new skill together is a fun way for students to connect, get active, and take a break from the classroom.
Your session starts with a quick safety briefing and an introduction to kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding before heading out onto the water with your instructors.
Once on the water, instructors lead the group through the basics of paddling and manoeuvring your craft using interactive activities that keep things fun, engaging, and confidence-building. Before you know it, your group will be paddling like pros and having a great time doing it!
Group Starlight Tour – Have You Ever Paddled at Night?
Group Size: 9 – 30 people | Program Length: 2.5 hours | Starting at $95 + tax per person
Have you ever paddled at night?
This evening tour offers a truly unique way to unwind after a long day, combining calm waters, fresh air, and a relaxed, starlit paddle.
Your group will be welcomed by experienced guides and given a safety briefing and paddling introduction before heading out in kayaks. Each kayak is equipped with a light to support visibility and smooth group management on the water.
Once underway, you’ll paddle together beneath the stars as your guides share stories about the rich history and fascinating wildlife of Say Nuth Khaw Yum (Indian Arm Park). On especially lucky nights, you may even experience the magic of bioluminescence glowing in the water around you.
