Now that the sun is (finally) shining, and summer is just around the corner, it’s time to plan your local gourmet weekend getaway. Due to demand, we’ve expanded our Gourmet Kayaking Adventures in 2011 to include B&B-based weekends as well as beach camping – all centered on delicious and fresh seasonal food and BC wine of course! These exceptional weekends are easy to book online and gift certificates (electronic or paper) are available.

NEW B&B Based Weekends – Tenting it not for you? Luxuriate your nights away in a comfortable and quiet B&B on Vancouver Island, and spend the days kayaking and exploring the stunning coast. Enjoy a spectacular seafood feast on the beach on your first night, with locally sourced delicacies. And on your last night, we’re bringing in your own private chef to prepare a multicourse, wine paired dinner for you.

Friday ~ We’ll meet in Nanaimo mid-Friday morning, go the B&B and check in. Have a leisurely lunch in Ladysmith while meeting your travel companions. The afternoon will be spent kayaking in the shallow and calm waters off Ladysmith, before making your way via water to a private beach for cocktails and appies. Return to the B&B for showers and freshening before heading off to have a specialty seafood feast on a local beach near the B&B.

Saturday ~ After a hearty home cooked breakfast at your B&B, we’ll head out on our kayaks for a stunning tour of the islands and coastlines. We’ll lunch on a remote beach, fuel for the exploratory ride back to Vancouver Island. Return to the B&B late afternoon to find cocktails and appies awaiting you, then it’s off to shower and freshen up before your multicourse, wine paired, private chef dinner at the B&B.

Sunday ~ You’ll have another home cooked breakfast at the B&B before heading out on a peaceful paddle, or adventurous sorts can try stand up paddleboarding. The group will return to Transfer Beach for a farewell lunch before heading off to catch a late afternoon ferry back to the mainland.
