Gulf Island Kayaking

Founded in 1985, Gulf Island Kayaking is a family owned and operated tour and rental company offering half-day, full-day, and multi-day guided kayak adventures as well as quality kayaks, canoes and paddleboards for hire out of Montague Harbour Marina on Galiano Island.

Why Galiano Island

As the original kayak outfitter in the Southern Gulf Islands, we expressly chose Galiano Island as our base because of the exceptional beauty of its undeveloped coastline, the abundance of diverse wildlife, and the reliable tranquility of its sheltered waters.

Galiano Island Accommodations

We can hook you up with the best accommodations on Galliano Island. With our 35+ years track record on Galiano, we can point you in the right direction.

Galiano Oceanfront Inn and Spa

At the Galiano Inn, Every Room is Oceanfront...

From the moment you walk through the door of your room, the welcome of a calm, tranquil spa experience envelopes you. Drink in the view of the ocean from your private terrace and, as the ferries and sailboats pass by, breathe deeply, clear your mind and you may be rewarded with the sight of whales passing through Active Pass or eagles soaring overhead.

The Captain's Quarters

The Captain's Quarters is a two storey, luxury romantic getaway, an 1894 Heritage Log House on 10 secluded acres of our organic Cable Bay Farm mid-island on Galiano. It is beautifully restored with fine woods, fully equipped & very PRIVATE especially for couples with its own Hottub sunken into a spacious wood front deck.

Woodstone Manor

Set on 9 acres of private forest land, Woodstone Manor is a magical place to enjoy a romantic getaway  or family vacation. Our unique dining Room & Patio offers menus of food prepared by our executive chef! With only 12 rooms, it’s the perfect size for an intimate wedding or to gather with family and friends for a celebration. It’s also ideal for group or corporate retreats.

Driftwood Village

Scenic cottage comfort on beautiful Galiano Island.  Located on two acres of orchard grounds, at Galiano Island's south end, Driftwood Village features wood burning fireplaces, private wifi, decks, and full kitchens. We're just a short walk to many wonderful parks and beaches.  We are pet friendly.
