My wife and I took a two-hour kayak tour with Nici and it was the highlight of our Victoria vacation. She went out of her way to give us a safe, fun, beginner-appropriate excursion into the inner harbour. Highly recommended!

I went on the Kayak Tour with Victoria Waterfront Tours (VWT) and had an absolutely amazing time. 5 Stars Tour: \tThe tour itself was great. We went around a bunch of little islands and saw a variety of seals, jellies, seaweed, starfish, birds, etc. We learned about the different types of seaweed (and what ones you can eat). Guide: \tI’m really impressed. Nici has a wonderful personality. She is informative and willing to give you as much information she can, safety conscious, and always looking out for her group. Location: \tI personally think out of all the kayaking tours I could find this is the best located company for tours. If I’m only going on a 3 hour tour I don’t want to waste my time slow paddling from the Empress to Fisherman’s Warf. I’d much rather boat taxi it to West Bay / Esquimalt and then start paddling right where it starts to get interesting Gift Shop: \tI love her little gift shop as it has items from artists and even a few items created by Nici that she calls Wind Jewellery (Like Wind Chimes but they sparkle instead of make noise disturbing your neighbours). Note: \tIf you can do a full day paddle I’d recommend going out to the lighthouse. I really wanted to do that but it wasn’t offered on the one day that I was available so I definitely am going to come back one day for it…then again I was really tired on the 3 hour one ha ha.
Nici was an amazing tour guide! She is definitely knowledgeable about kayaking and the area. A huge plus that she also took pictures of us (and the seals of course) when we are too busy kayaking. Definitely would recommend this to those who love the ocean!
My wife and I took a 3 hour tour with Nici as part of our honeymoon in Victoria, and it was definitely one of the highlights from our trip! Nici was very informative and knowledgeable of the flora and fauna we got to see during our tour. She also was very informative of some of Victoria's history, and was overall a very great person to talk to during the tour. Nici also takes pictures during the tour for you and sends them to you afterwards, so if you don't feel like taking a camera out on the water she has you covered. Had a very positive experience, and highly recommend it to both young and old!
The tour was great! We got to see so many Harbour Seals and beautiful views of Victoria and surrounding area. The guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. All Mario a great time.
Really disappointing experience. We were really looking forward to doing some nice kayaking and maybe even seeing some wildlife. Unfortunately, our 3.5h tour had to be rescheduled due to weather conditions (nobody’s fault) and we ended up joining another group‘s 2.5h tour. Unfortunately, one of the other participants didn’t really get the hang of paddling, so we just stayed in the harbour for the full 2.5 hours, mainly standing still and not getting much paddling done. Not even the view of the harbour was very spectacular, as it was mostly construction sites. Regrettably, the guide wasn’t able to balance the different skill levels or propose a less challenging yet interesting tour. All in all, we would have been better off just renting kayaks and going out on our own.
WOW!!!! Hands down this has to be the best kayaking experience in Victoria. We booked partly because another larger/more popular tour was already full up, and in hindsight, realized we totally lucked out because this one was way better! Niki is AMAZING!! Truly this is a don't miss experience. If you want a small personalized and very tailored-to-your-group experience, this is for you. We learned that Niki's first career was as a teacher, and her love of nature and natural teaching ability shows through.
I enjoyed the kayaking with Nikki very much. I and my friend planned for a kayak tour to the Seals' island on last-minute of our stay in Victoria. She was very helpful to find us a spot in the evening. Her cheerful attitude and comprehensive and smooth illustration during the tour made our tour really unforgettable; taking photos of us and enticing us to discover nature and taste new food :-). I will definitely join her tour again on my next visit to Victoria.
