We just did the Johnstone Strait kayaking trip with my daughter. We had the benefit of the owner, Georgia guiding our group. We saw quite a few orcas, a couple of whales, sea lions on the Trip
Georgia is an extremely experienced guide who considers safety her first and foremost priority
Highly recommend

This review is 2 years after my experience with Coastal Bliss Adventures.

I have hiked all over the world. And most are day hikes or overnight hikes. So this was my first experience with a big pack.

I did struggle with the ladders and extra weight. When we arrived at camp the first night, I was pulled aside and advised I should not continue. I was devastated as I would have not chosen to quit on my own.

My hiking partner and I stayed behind and quit as per the advise of our guide.

11/2 years later I conquered the W in Chile. No I did not have to carry all the provisions as the WestCoast but I I still had a pack geared for 5 days.

I have struggled with posting this as I am not experienced with a big pack. However, I have organized and lead groups o the skyline and Tonquin in Jasper.

Would I have ever advise any of my group you should not be doing this? No the rest of us helped them.

Maybe I am wrong and the guides did what they thought was right. However this was the first time I was discouraged to continue.

We had a fantastic 2 hour estuary paddle in Cowichan Bay with our guide Gary. We had one novice (and nervous) paddler in the group, he made him feel safe and confident - he came away a paddling enthusiast! We saw lots of birds and seals and learned a lot about the area. It was a glass calm day so we had time to paddle round to Genoa Bay and see this charming area. Highly recommend Coastal Bliss!

I joined Coastal Bliss for their West Coast Trail tour and loved every moment of the adventure. The guides were super organized and patient. Our meals were delicious and prepared to accommodate dietary needs which I really appreciated. With the preparation and organization taken care of by Coastal Bliss, I was able to fully enjoy the trek and focus on my body and mind, and having fun. Thank you for the journey!

Rented our kayak from here for the MOMAR Sport event. During the event the staff had the personality of a cardboard box, and it felt like we were annoying them to sign the waiver and to locate our kayak. The race was delayed because of this company. We had a late start because they couldn't find kayaks for our team mates and 2 other people! I understand the chaos of the race, but I didn't pay 160 dollars to hunt down a kayak and life jacket. Employees from other companies were helping!

Ill be taking my business elsewhere.

I am a Cow Bay resident and heard very good things about Coastal Bliss from folks. My friend came out to visit me and we had wanted to go on a kayak adventure so we booked in for the evening Bioluminescence Kayak Tour. It was fantastic! Gary and Michael made us feel comfortable in the kayaks with the instructions they gave. We covered a lot more area than I had thought we would so that was incredible. The bioluminescence experience was truly amazing. If you are looking for something fun to do with people who know what they are doing, definitely check these folks out!

Fantastic company! Can't speak highly enough. A company with a heart and soul and love for what they do. Very detail oriented to ensure that everyone is safe and has a great time. Most definitely plan to return!

We had a wonderful bioluminescent moonlight paddle with Coastal Bliss Adventures Ltd. It was absolutely perfect from start to finish, with the highlights being our excellent guide Shihong and the beautiful sights we were able to take in on the water. The tour started with a detailed and clear tutorial on how to safely and easily maneuver the kayaks, Shihong was patient and knowledgeable. Out on the water we took in an exquisite sunset, sea otters, herons, gulls, and osprey, and then when darkness came we were able to see the incredible bioluminscents and Shihong pointed out some notable constellations in the starry sky. Throughout the tour Shihong struck the perfect balance of sharing history of the area and weaving in stories and information, while also giving space for us to just paddle and take in our beautiful surroundings. We highly recommend this experience!! Thank you.
