With two locations on the Pender Islands Kayak Pender Island offers a number of paddling tours. Our shop at Otter Bay Marina is a mere 10 minute walk from the B.C. Ferries terminal at Otter Bay. The Poets Cove Resort location on South Pender Island is beside the Canada Customs, a major marine entry point into Canada. Both locations feature many amenities. Pender Island is easily accessible not only by ferry but also via air (scheduled seaplane flights land at both Port Washington and Poets Cove Resort) and private boat. Nearby paddle destinations include the shores of both Pender Islands, Portland and Prevost Islands (both of which feature provincial marine parks).
