Explore Salt Spring Island at your own pace with well-maintained sea kayaks
Perfect for solo adventurers or groups seeking a self-guided experience
Sit-On-Top Kayaks recommended for beginners or those with limited experience
Sea kayaks have rudders and foot pedals for steering, making them less stable than sit-on-tops
Double Sea Kayak Rentals Offer Guided Independence Around Salt Spring Island
Salt Spring Island continues to attract outdoor enthusiasts with its self-guided sea kayak rentals, offering a unique way to explore the surrounding waters. Visitors can embark on coastal journeys at their own pace, discovering hidden coves, observing marine wildlife, and taking in the quiet beauty of the Gulf Islands.
The experience is designed for both solo adventurers and small groups seeking flexibility on the water. Paddlers are free to chart their own routes, pause along scenic shorelines, and enjoy the natural rhythm of the ocean without the structure of a guided tour.
However, the service primarily features double sea kayaks, which are best suited for experienced paddlers. These kayaks require coordination between two users and are equipped with rudders that are controlled using foot pedals, adding a technical layer to navigation that may challenge beginners.
For those new to kayaking or with limited experience, sit-on-top kayaks are strongly recommended as a safer and more stable alternative. The distinction ensures that all guests can enjoy the water comfortably, with the appropriate equipment matched to their skill level for a safe and enjoyable coastal adventure.

Customer Reviews
If you only have 24 hours in Dublin! It might sound crazy but what a day...phenomenal team of professionals with great gear and a truly astonishing coast line. For beginners and experienced alike, all are welcome. Howth is a lovely seaside town with a well protected harbor (perfect for beginners) and a stunning island (Ireland's Eye) just offshore that provides the experienced an opportunity to explore and enjoy the caves and inlets. Highly recommend!!!!
Highy Recommend! I joined a lovely bunch of six fellow enthusiastic novice sea kayakers on a weekend course with Shearwater in June 2021. It was the most fantastic breakout from all that the last year has thrown at us. We all had a wonderful experience, learning kayaking techniques as well as enjoying the stunning coastal scenery around Howth. Eileen & Sean, Ciaran & Sue were all excellent instructors, being informative, professional, friendly and fun. Added to our experience due to the luck of having good weather, was an encounter with a huge number of breeding sea birds and cutely curious seals, all hanging out or perched around the cliffs of Ireland’s Eye. That was a lucky and most unexpected surprise. Sean & Sue added to the experience with some very interesting snippets of insight into the lives of some of those birds and seals. I thoroughly enjoyed the two days and would have loved to have continued for a whole week. I certainly hope to be back out on the water with Shearwater as soon as there’s availability ... :-)
We've now been out twice with Eileen, Sean and the team. As a group they are incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of sea kayaking and have made the learning experience fun. They are great at building confidence and getting you out on the water to not only see but get amongst some of the wildlife that lives just off the coast of Ireland. A tremendous invaluable experience. I'd highly recommend Shearwater Sea Kayaking to anyone who is looking for a taster session or determined to understand the discipline in-depth. Thanks guys!
