Cycling in Vietnam

VeloAsia was the first company to organize bicycle tours in Vietnam (of course, the French may have done it way back when). We remain the most experienced, qualified and competent bicycle touring company operating in Vietnam (check who is behind VeloAsia), with a proven record of comfort, quality and safety. Many delighted customers have joined us on our journeys, benefiting from our extensive in-country experience and excellent relationships with local vendors. Providing great trips in Vietnam gave us the experience to branch out to other great cycling destinations such as Turkey and neighboring China.

Paddling

Ecomarine began in 1980 with the goal of making a positive difference in peoples' lives through ocean kayaking. Through our retail, lessons and rentals we have achieved this goal thousands of times. We are proud to offer the best products available for ocean kayaking at our Granville Island store. We have taught over 22,000 through our programs and exposed twice that number to kayaking through our rentals. We operate from one full time location on Granville Island and two other seasonal locations at the Jericho Sailing Centre and the Vancouver Aquatic Centre. Our new web site features most of the products and services we offer.

Pacific Northwest Expeditions tours are fun, and educational with a strong commitment to wilderness ethics, and trip safety. Our schedules are flexible allowing us to remain open to all experiences en route, variances in weather, and the needs of the group. Because we operate our own sea kayak tours and keep to intimate group sizes we are able to maintain quality service, minimize our environmental impact and ensure meaningful cultural and natural interactions. We are able to enhance each person's enjoyment of sea kayak touring by providing personal attention in a supportive manner. During your trip we provide quality paddling and safety instruction, natural history interpretation, help you settle into camp, plan the day's activities and prepare delicious meals.

Deep Cove Kayak has been operating in this location for 20 years. Our waterfront location, only 30 minutes from downtown Vancouver, makes Deep Cove Canoe & Kayak Centre a favorite departure spot for people wishing to access Indian Arm.

Gabriola Island Cycle and Kayak likes to attract healthy, self-sufficient, fun-loving outdoor adventurers. We view our trips more as an adventure than as a business, and believe that our prices reflect this. You need not be an experienced kayaker to join our trips, although a good fitness level and the presence of mind to remain happy (even in the rain!) are required.

Indigenous Peoples
Non-profit Organizations

Native Planet

The Indigenous Peoples of the world are the exclusive guardians of large wilderness habitats upon which modern societies depend (plants, animals, climate, water). Their traditional lifestyles are models for the practice of conservation and sustainable consumption of biological resources. Maintaining and understanding the earth's most biologically diverse areas is dependent on maintaining the cultural diversity and integrity of Indigenous peoples who live there. Our efforts at documenting the lifestyles of the people we meet is the crucial first step towards giving them exposure and a voice to be heard. Native Planet brings you powerful, intimate and personal impressions, images and studies. We hope they move you and stir up that most basic human instinct to nurture and protect. Enter worlds you never knew existed. Discover the incredible diversity of indigenous cultures and natural environments. Read our stories, view our photos and be part of our journeys. Join us and participate as we sponsor proactive Education and Humanitarian Aid Projects. Help us make a difference.
