Coastal Current Adventures is a business with a focus primarily on eco-tourism and environmental education.

It first started as Island Escapades, an outdoor tour booking company on Salt Spring Island in 1990. By the following summer, the business had expanded to include a small fleet of kayaks to facilitate their own tours and lessons. Youth camps, environmental education programs for schools and groups, kayak guides courses and camping expeditions, followed shortly thereafter.

In 2002, this home based business expanded to an oceanfront property in Ganges, the main hub of the island. A clothing & gear shop and vacation rental were soon added to the mix. Island Escapades became a year round diverse enterprise with several employees, including their two sons, Jade and Jasper.

Coastal Current Adventures was incorporated in 2018 after Island Escapades was sold but retained the rights to the camps, instructional and overnight programs. The business has come full circle and is once again home based, directed towards environmental education, kayak certification and small group wilderness adventures.

2024 - Coastal Current Adventures was purchased by son Jasper and his partner Carissa!
They will be facilitating all of the programs now and will be expanding to more areas of Vancouver island.

Coastal Current Adventures has a heartfelt mandate—to adventure but tread lightly;  to create opportunities for others to learn about and be captivated by nature. We protect what we love and it is imperative that we contribute to a more sustainable future for the earth and all of its inhabitants.
