Due to the high demand, I will offer up Franklin Island, where the fun is found.
It is time again to enjoy some exciting kayaking and breathtaking views of our fan favorite destination Franklin Island. Please join me for spectacular sights, exploration of many small bays and channels, beautiful sunsets, and blissful relaxation on a peaceful Island oasis. It is a beautiful and fun paddle out to Franklin Island, where we will enjoy some good old fashion back country camping. While staying on franklin we will have lots of time to work on kayaking skills, rolling being a personal favourite, swim, relax, and enjoy an evening sunset and campfire.

This Kayaking experience is for intermediate paddlers.
We will enjoy the 5-8km paddle to the desired Franklin Island Campsite. Each paddler is expected to be self sufficient, have performed wet exits, have ability to self rescue with little assistance, and come prepared with all essential gear.
