Looking to Sea

Looking to Sea is a locally owned and operated ecotourism company based at Hope Bay on Pender Island, focused on adventures that connect people to place and community. Its guided trips centre on kayaking along the island's sheltered coast and hiking through coastal rainforest, with custom outings shaped around what visitors most want to see and experience. Beyond guided ecotours, the company offers gear rentals and small retreats, giving paddlers and walkers of varying abilities a way to explore the Southern Gulf Islands at their own pace. The emphasis throughout is sustainable, low-impact travel that highlights the natural beauty, wildlife and quiet character of the region. Operating in and around Pender Island, Looking to Sea draws on local knowledge to help guests get out on the water and into the woods safely and memorably. Bookings can be made online for the season, and the team welcomes calls and emails for details or to arrange a tailored adventure.
