We are experience makers.
Born out of a love for the outdoors and the sense of freedom that cycling and kayaking brings, our boutique and exquisitely crafted bike and kayak tours celebrate active lifestyles, locally-sourced food, and a connection to the natural beauty, people, and places of British Columbia’s Vancouver Island.
Whether you join us for an afternoon or 6 days, our Joy Ride bike and kayak tours are designed to help you (re)discover joy safely while experiencing the best of Vancouver Island and the beauty of Campbell River, Quadra Island, the Comox Valley, and the Discovery Islands.
