Our Location
Our kayak facility is a short drive from Vancouver BC in beautiful Ladner BC. Head through downtown Ladner to Sharkey's Restaurant at 4953 Chisholm Street, Delta BC V4K 2K6 and look for Elliot Street Wharf and our little red kiosk overlooking the harbour.
What's in Your Library?
Every now and then we feature a book or magazine article that we think is a great addition to a paddler's library. This month it's Wild Coast 3 - a great book to have on hand when you make plans for your next expedition along the coast.
About
KAT staff are experienced boat people who share a passion for nature and the water. Their goal is to make your paddle adventures memorable and safe.
The Captain
TONY DALES
Tony is a self professed 'water rat' with a lifetime of boating, sailing and paddling in Ontario and BC. Kaymaran Adventure Tours (KAT) came to be a decade or so ago as Tony realized that the satisfaction he derives from introducing newcomers to these exciting activities beat any 9 to 5 job hands down! Of course, as business continues to grow and evolve Tony's 'water time' has been curtailed to some degree. Indeed, this is the price when you turn passion into a livelihood. But, no regrets!
The Crew
SONNY
Sonny has worked for KAT for 4 years. He started by cleaning boats and now his main job is guiding kayak tours around the Ladner Estuary.
Sonny is involved in many of the courses that KAT teaches but when he is not teaching you can find him paddling with the Ladner Paddling Club.
JORDAN
Jordan began working at KAT four years ago as part of a school project. She does all sorts of odd jobs from cleaning the boats and organizing the rentals to helping to guide tours through the marshes.
When Jordan can't be found at the dock she's often out on a tour or adminring the beautiful scenery of the marshes on her own.
PAUL
Paul brings to KAT a comprehensive skills set. He is equally adept in either an adult-oriented group or when introducing a bunch of our "River Rat Kids" to the delights of sea kayaking. His quiet and thoughtful manner make him an ideal instructor/guide particularly with beginner paddlers.
The Boss
Brodie rules the water and makes sure that all the floating sticks are safely returned to shore. With his happy grin, Brodie reminds us that one of the best ways to enjoy life is to smile and go with the flow.
