Paddle Out from Jericho Beach

One of Canada's biggest kayak fleets, English Bay, a possible seal, and a sunset that'll make you look good for free.

Jericho Sailing Centre, Jericho Beach

More info

The date

The Jericho Beach Kayak Centre runs one of the largest rental fleets in the country, and on a calm evening this is the best seat you'll have all year: a double kayak in English Bay, downtown towers stacking prettily ahead, North Shore mountains behind, and a fair chance of a seal surfacing to inspect your splashing. No experience required. Go at sunset.

How to do it

Rent a double kayak or a pair of SUPs from Jericho Beach Kayak Centre, one of Canada's largest fleets, and slide onto the calm shoulder of English Bay, downtown towers and North Shore peaks stacked across the water; no experience needed and flat enough to actually talk. They run 2-, 3-hour and full-day rentals plus guided golden-light and full-moon tours if you want to stack the romance. Budget about 2.5 hours, and the bus drops you nearby.
