Handbuilt boats. A personal host. One gorgeous Gorge.
A 2-hour guided rowing tour through the gorge. Informative commentary, witty banter from your rower, and tunes on the water. It's like a date with nature, but funnier.
Classic wooden boats built in Victoria, BC. Beautiful craftsmanship, bamboo oars, and a healthy disregard for yacht culture.
Curated tunes to match the scenery. No yacht rock, we promise. (Okay, maybe a little.)
Fresh flowers on the bow, curated details, and a crew that actually gives a damn. It shows.
The history, geology, and secrets of the gorge from someone who actually cares about telling you.
Our boats are Whitehall Row Boats — a classic design with roots going back to 19th-century New York harbor. Ours are built right here on the west coast in Victoria, BC, by craftspeople who actually care about what they put on the water.
They're wooden, they're beautiful, they've got handmade bamboo oars, and yes — we hand-painted "GORGE-US" right on the hull. Each boat seats up to 3 guests alongside your rower. That's how we roll. (Row?)
Crafted in Victoria, BCYour tour guide Adam didn't just start rowing the gorge for fun. Well, he did — but then he accidentally became a local hero.
In the summer of 2025, Adam noticed something off while rowing his daily route. A faint smell. He kept coming back, kept investigating, and eventually tracked down a hidden pipe leaking sewage into the gorge from a nearby construction site. His detective work led to a public advisory, a fix, and a nickname that stuck:
That's the kind of person leading your tour. Someone who knows every bend, every rock, and every secret of this gorge.
