ABOUT US
In
service since 1999, Takaya Tours is the premier First Nation owned
eco-tourism venture in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada.
In March 2007, Takaya Tours
entered into a co-management agreement with Deep
Cove Canoe & Kayak Centre.
Operating from bases in Cates Park, North Vancouver and Belcarra
Regional Park, Port Moody, we offer a wide range of safe and exciting
activities that mix outdoor adventure with an authentic interpretation
of Coast Salish culture.
At the core
of the business are guided interpretive paddles in either our replica
ocean-going canoes or in our sea kayaks. Guests gently paddle in the
protected waters of the Burrard Inlet and beautiful Indian Arm while
guides from the Coast Salish Nation sing songs, tell legends and point
out ancient village sites. The tours have been specifically designed
for people of all ages and fitness levels.
We
have travelled the land and waters of our traditional territory for
thousands of years, and we wish to share our knowledge with visitors
who appreciate wild nature and authentic indigenous culture.
Experienced First Nation guides will safely transport you to adventures
across our waters and back through time. Come experience history and
take away memories that will last a lifetime!
