About Us
It is truly our kayak guides that make the company. It is the kayak guides that turn a good trip into a fantastic trip. Most of our kayak guides have been with Kingfisher for years and it is because of them that we have many guests returning year after year.
"It actually felt more like being on a trip with friends than with guides. They were of course great guides, cooks, and paddlers, but it was other things that really made the trip special." K.A. from USA
All of our kayak guides are certified with the Sea Kayak Guides Alliance of British Columbia. As a company we encourage and support our guides in continually improving their kayaking, interpretive and leadership skills to in turn offer you the best kayaking vacation possible.

Don Webster - 2012 will be
Don's eighth season with Kingfisher. Don was raised in Northern
Ontario, and spent his early childhood guiding fishermen to his
favourite fishing holes at his families fishing lodge. His love of
kayaking started when he answered a ‘kayak for sale’ ad. Its
bargain price could perhaps be attributed to its ‘slightly burnt’
condition from a warehouse fire. Nevertheless, it floated, and
launched his career.
