Pedals and Paddles

Beginning of 2021 Season Update:

As we approach the start of our 30th year of operation, we cannot help but get excited to get started! As such, we have decided to do things a little different this year. Typically our pre-season is filled with overnight school trips and other exciting adventures, which unfortunately will not happen again this year due to COVID-19.

We are so grateful to our respectful and passionate patrons for coming out and supporting our small (but growing!) family business. We sincerely hope everyone who is reading this is doing well and getting outdoors, we wish you all the best and look forward to getting you out on the water this year!

Regards,

The Pedals & Paddles Adventure Sports Team

COVID-19 Update:

Pedals and Paddles is open for business by appointment only as of March 1st, 2021 until we shift to regular hours May 1st, 2021. We understand the challenges created by this virus and have adapted our practices to ensure the safety of our staff and customers. We have taken a number of precautions from social distancing to the disinfecting of all shared gear after every use.

Marine parks, while previously closed temporarily last year, have remained open for day use and overnight camping. The Marine Parks up Sechelt inlet provide a great opportunity to get away and experience nature in a safe and remote manner.

For more information regarding BC parks COVID-19 response: http://bcparks.ca/covid-19/

We believe kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding are exceptional activities to participate in during these challenging times. As an effort to avoid crowding, we are staggering groups as much as possible. Drop in paddlers will be asked to wait until an open time slot has become available to them.

For more information please call 604-885-6440 or email us at info@pedalspaddles.com

Stay safe, stay healthy.

Our Location:

Start your adventure from our private beach

Pedals & Paddles is located in the community of Tuwanek on beautiful waterfront along Sechelt Inlet. Our private beach is the ideal location to launch into the natural and pristine BC West coast environment. We can cater to paddlers that like to camp, giving access to 9 Wilderness Parks that are free to visit or stay at. You may prefer the luxury of a bed and stay in one of the dozens of Bed & Breakfast, cottages, hotels or hostels, all within a few kilometres of our location. Check out Trip Advisor, AirBnB or VRBO and search for Tuwanek, Sandy Hook or Sechelt. We offer free parking to our guests and can provide water shoes, dry bags, maps, information, water and other services included with equipment rental.

You may choose from self guided tours or join one of our popular guided tours with our friendly, certified guides. Our 2 hour tour is like a lesson/tour, so no experience is needed. You will learn all the basics to make your paddle fun and enjoyable. We are also happy to create a customised tour based on your experience, time constraints, and desires! With 30 years of experience in the industry, we have the knowledge and expertise to make your adventure safe and memorable.

What type of wildlife can you potentially see? Eagles, seals, deer, jellyfish, sea urchin & anemone, and a variety of ducks and birds. If you're lucky you may see bears on the shoreline or paddle with the dolphins, and if you are really lucky you could see Orcas in the wild!

You will definitely see the beautiful Caren and Richardson mountain ranges falling down to meet the ocean, Spectacular!
