Gourmet kayaking weekends

I recently came across these companies that offer gourmet kayaking weekends…

Edible British Columbia

Edible British Columbia, in conjunction with Blue Planet Kayaking, offers a three-day/ two-night gastronomic adventure.

Get professional kayak instruction, go paddling through the DeCourcey Archipelago with river otters, bald eagles, and harbor seals, and enjoy two nights camping under the stars on a beautiful Gulf Islands beach.

James Bray, chef and kayak guide, will produce locally-sourced gourmet meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner with specialties such as pasture raised Cowichan Bay duck breast & confit leg with fingerling potatoes, braised local greens and a pinot noir reduction. All dinners are paired with local BC wines that compliment each dish.

The trip departs on the Friday morning at 8:00 am and returns late Sunday afternoon. The package is $749 per person plus tax (transportation to Nanaimo is not included).
