If you're an outdoor enthusiastic there's no greater playground than the Pacific Northwest, and in particular British Columbia, an exciting region filled with the greatest opportunities for outdoor activities and enjoyment all-year-round.

It's no surprise that with thousands of kilometres of coastline and the Pacific Ocean beckoning, British Columbia, and its main city Vancouver offer the best opportunities for kayaking, a very popular aquatic recreation activity.

If you're not familiar with this paddling pastime, there are plenty of locations in Vancouver or on Vancouver Island that can offer the beginner kayaking lessons and kayaking rentals teaching you (or letting you learn for yourself) the basics of this splashingly fun pastime.

Kayaking tours and kayaking trips are also becoming popular, eco-tours that drop you off in one location, one of the Gulf Islands perhaps, and pick you up in another, allowing you the freedom to explore the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Sunshine Coast.

So if you're in the mood for adventure, come to Canada's Pacific Ocean playground and get your feet wet with kayaking!
