We hope you’ll find everything you need here to map out your next great paddling adventure. If it’s missing anything, please call us any time and let us know. We would love to help. We do three things mainly; kayak rentals, lessons and guided tours. Pick your path below and we’ll see you on the beach.
Equipment Rentals
Our fleet of single seat (K1) and double seat (K2) fiberglass sea kayaks are hand made, locally by Seaward and Atlantis Kayaks. Rentals are available from 4 hours to 14 days. Pack a snack and make a day of it or your prawn trap and fishing rod to make an adventure of it.

Guided Tours
Be sure to check out our very popular guided day and evening tours as well as our custom multi day trips.
Meet our passionate guides and instructors for the 2027 paddling season!
We come from a wide variety of educational backgrounds and places, but we all share a profound love of paddle sports and outdoor adventure. If you are interested in employment with Halfmoon Sea Kayaks for the 2027 season, or future seasons, reach out as early as you like. We’ll review your resume and likely follow up with a google meet.
CAM
A Halfmoon Sea Kayaks partner, Cam traded a career in the West Coast tugboat industry for vessels that weigh roughly 99.9% less and rely entirely on calories from his last one pot meal. Between paddling throughout coastal British Columbia and collecting a small stack of commercial marine and Paddle Canada certificates, he’s spent enough time on saltwater to be somewhat useful. Just don’t ask for a tow when the headwind picks up – he no longer has the horsepower for it.
MADDY
Originally from Perth, Ontario, Maddy studied Environmental Studies and graduated as an Environmental Technician—meaning she physically cannot paddle past a barnacle without explaining its entire life cycle. Alongside her Paddle Canada Level 2 skills and Apprentice Interpreter certification, she also holds Wilderness Mental Health First Aid, making her uniquely qualified to talk you down when the tide turns against you.
GRIFFIN
Griffin grew up paddling Lake Erie in Ontario before collecting an Outdoor Adventure Naturalist diploma and roughly seventeen different Paddle Canada, Swift Water Rescue, and Wilderness First Responder certifications. Having guided across Canada since 2017, he is deeply overqualified to keep you upright. Off the water, he avoids indoor plumbing at all costs—spending his free time fishing, rock climbing, camping, cooking, and taking aggressive amounts of nature photos.
MELISSA
Melissa grew up diving in France, survived the French Alps, and eventually washed up on the Sunshine Coast. With a Paddle Canada Level 2 certification and a social work background, she’s professionally trained to stay calm when your group is paddling in small circles. We have also found her lost on forest trails, crashing mountain bikes and squinting at distant floating logs, convincing herself they’re probably whales.
NAOMI
Growing up in Vancouver, Naomi experienced everything from kayaking to wakesurfing and powerboating. She is currently a student at Mount Royal University in Calgary, where she is studying criminal justice. She holds a Paddle Canada Level 1 Certification, a Pleasure Craft Operator Card (Boating License), CPR and Standard First Aid certifications, and is a nationally certified lifeguard. Outside of work, you will find Naomi with her dog on a beach, camping, or exploring new restaurants around town.
Hallie
Hallie grew up in Perth Ontario and has spent her summers camping, hiking and enjoying the great outdoors! She is enjoying her second season with us after finishing university in Ontario, with a bachelor’s degree in environmental studies. She is excited to strengthen her kayak abilities this summer, while also soaking up all of what the beautiful coast has to offer! Outside of work, Hallie spends her free time chilling in the forest, trying out new crafts, cozying up with a cup of tea, and cruising around the coast!
