YPN Evening Kayak Tour
Take some much deserved relaxing time out with friends and colleagues, and take in the views, learn about Nanaimo's history...all from directly on water stopping for photos along the way. Push off from shore with us as we explore the coastline of Saysutshun Island, discover wildlife and bask in the evening sun. Look to take in possible sightings of river otters, harbour seal, and bald eagles.
