Coastal Bliss Adventures Offers Everyone A Chance to Get on the Water!
O
utdoor enthusiasts Gary Ward and Georgia Newsome share a deep passion for adventure and connecting with nature and the outdoors. They are not just owners of Coastal Bliss Adventures in Cowichan Bay, they live their passion as operators too, by getting into outdoor spaces as often as they can, sharing this experience with others and training their fantastic team of guides. “It is from this passion and the understanding of the positive effects on quality of life from engaging in the natural environment that has inspired us to share this passion with others” smiles Georgia “we hope that they too will find moments of bliss, through their participation in nature, through slowing down
and breathing in the beauty by allowing all the senses to awaken.” Coastal Bliss Adventures offers a wide variety of tours for a variety of groups. Children and youth can enjoy summer kayak, canoe and Stand-up paddle boarding, backpacking and mixed activity camps. “We can also work with families to design custom programs that best suit their age group and interests. Our scheduled coastal trails and kayaking tours are an excellent way for adults to take a break from their busy professional lives and to allow the spirit to soar, as the beauty and magic of nature is discovered, and personal challenges overcome. The most popular tour is without a doubt the ‘West Coast Trail’, still has some spaces for the 2022 season. There are other multi-day tours coastal trails and kayaking destinations such as Juan de Fuca, Cape Scott, North Coast Trail, and the Sunshine Coast Trail, the Gulf Islands and
Broughton Archipelago. All of these are equally stunning and remote. While some of the other popular locations are currently still closed due to the pandemic, and the travel restrictions make planning difficult for all we have rebuilt our launch dock in Cowichan Bay at Cowichan Bay Kayaking, making it wider and more spacious. At the Cowichan Bay Kayak dock, we are open by appointment and pre booking, offering tours rentals and instructional programs to help get people active in the outdoors,
