Located on the Saanich Peninsula just outside of Victoria, Sidney is a charming seaside community that serves as a quick escape from bustling Victoria. Sidney is treated to some of the mildest weather in Canada, making it a year round tourist destination. Outdoor enthusiasts flock to Sidney throughout the year to take advantage of the excellent fishing, diving and kayaking while those electing to stay on land in the friendly village are treated to a diverse selection of restaurants as well as an insane number of bookstores, possibly the most per capita in B.C!

Kayaking from Sidney

Those interested in kayaking in Sidney have two options. First is to paddle into the Georgia Strait where the Gulf Islands and the Sidney Spit Provincial Park can be explored. The other option is to launch from the western side of the Saanich Peninsula and explore Saanich Inlet by kayak. Either way, kayaking will be the best way to enjoy the ocean and take in spectacular views of the land here. Rising Sun does kayak rentals for those travelling to Sidney on a custom order basis.
