Alpha Adventures- Pender Harbour Kayak Rentals
Pender Harbour is a gorgeous shoreline to explore by kayak or SUP, and it is more sheltered than Sechelt Inlet, with lots of little coves and beautiful houses perched along the shore.
If you are interested in renting kayaks, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND you consider doing this as it is very good value and in the midst of some of the most beautiful scenery on the coast. The Egmont Adventure Center (an internet search should take you to the link) offers you great packages that include lunch at West Coast Wilderness lodge and kayaking or boat tours up into Princess Louisa Inlet.
Just be aware that Egmont is a 45-50 minute drive away. Don't worry, though, there is lots to see and do on your way there or on your way home!
