Cortes Kayaks

03/11/2026

Where do you find peace? 🌊 For many people, it's out there on the horizon - the sound of the paddle hitting the water, the soft cry of shore boards in the distance, the smell of salt water on the breeze ~ If you are an adventure seeker, this is your retreat!
Join two of Cortes Island's locals; Kai Harvey and Jordan Best, at ebb & flow - Kayaking & Yoga Practice at Hollyhock this Spring and Summer!

Each morning begins with mindfulness or yoga to awaken the senses, followed by days of exploring the intricate coastlines of Desolation Sound. From the magic of bioluminescent night paddles to the quiet strength of a sunset yoga session, this program is designed to help you reclaim your vitality. Join us to rediscover the ease that comes when we stop pushing and start flowing!

Together, Kai and Jordan weave ecology, culture, ethnobotany, and history into every guided adventure. This is more than a retreat; it’s a journey you will never forget.

Now offering two dates!
• MAY 22-27: https://hubs.li/Q03-_2fY0
• JULY 24-29: https://hubs.li/Q03-_19K0

Last weekend was spent at Tatpo-os (Surge Narrows) with Homalco youth and elders learning ayajuthem and spending time on the water. So grateful to witness the powerful language work taking place. čɛčɛhatənapɛč ❤️

Last week, we teamed up with Misty Isles Adventures to offer the Salish Shorelines program at Hollyhock. Guests stayed and dined at Hollyhock, setting out each day for a marine adventure—shore-based kayaking, sailing, mothership kayaking into remote areas, or evening paddles under the fading light. Throughout the week, we wove together the stories of the Salish Sea, the three sister nations who have cared for these lands and waters since time immemorial, and the intricate marine ecosystems surrounding us. Thank you to the wonderful participants who made the week so memorable—we love sharing laughter on the water.
