paddling
come paddle your cares away while you explore the shoreline of Colliers Bay
paddling is wind dependent – please call for availability
explore the shoreline
Looking below into the clear bay waters during your paddle you may see sea stars, sea urchins, crabs, and a variety of fish. Colliers Bay is also frequented by minke whales and seals, and there are a pair of bald eagles that fish along the shoreline, as well as a variety of sea birds.
Our paddle season starts in June and finishes up at the end of September… that is unless the beginning of October brings us some lovely warm, low wind, days.
Paddle bookings will be released a few days in advance as the wind forecast is released.
As this is self guided paddling, we will only be booking in on low wind days.
the important stuff
+ All paddlers are required to sign waivers before the rental can start.
+ Paddlers under 18 are required to have the waiver signed by accompanying parent or guardian.
