Very easy-going environment. The staff were friendly and helpful. They even offered straps to tie the boards onto our car. We only rented the booties and wetsuits (no gloves or hood) and we were warm enough! I hit myself on the sand and when I went back to return the boards and gear, the staff were kind enough to offer me bandaids and any help! I really appreciated that. Thank you for a great time!

Looks like they rent surf equipment and I saw a flyer for an " upcoming songwriter night". Only serve poke bowls - you get to "build your own" on the order form. Fresh ingredients, pretty tasty. I also saw muffins and chocolate cake in the display case.

The service was excellent, Tyson and Justin were helpful with info on the area, places to surf, and even made calls to find us a place to stay for the next few days. Amy, one of the surf instructors, is very knowledgeable, patient and motivating. They also have a lunch cart and pay showers. This is a great business and they are new, and we definitely will visit them again the next time we are in Ucluelet.

Kris was very helpful and walked us through how to operate the bikes when we arrived. We got panniers which was great for storing all our belonging while we were on the bikes.

Will definitely rent again! Thanks Kris & Dave! :)

She listened to what we wanted from the tour, was great about giving us some history of the area, and shared her knowledge about the local wildlife and ecology. This was our first real experience sea kayaking and I felt safe the entire time, and knew safety was of upmost importance to our guide. When the tour was over, we had coffee in the shop that's associated with Tofino Kayak, looking out over the water. Overall, a great experience, and would highly recommend this business.

Sam, our guide, is studying oceanography, so was a good resource in showing us the sights as well as explaining about the currents and tidal flow in the area. The boats and gear were all good quality and using the online registration made check in a breeze. Our only negative was in the timing of the outing. The other group in our tour, a family, was late in arriving, then needed time to get organized. We ended up starting our on shore orientation quite late. In addition, we returned to the landing before the scheduled ending time. All in all, we lost probably 30 minutes of the scheduled 2 hour tour, which was a bit of a disappointment. Also, the level of paddling was easier than I would have liked, but that is to be expected in a shorter family - oriented trip like this. Overall, a fun was to enjoy the beautiful coastline around Tofino and learn a few things too.

I had a terrible experience with Paddle West Kayaking in Tofino. On the day of our tour, we…read morereceived an email putting us on a weather watch due to strong winds where our tour might be cancelled, but they would contact us 1-2hrs beforehand and offer options to cancel with a full refund, reschedule or continue the tour if we were experienced kayakers (which we weren't). We lost service while driving into Tofino and couldn't receive any calls. An hour before the tour, we finally got service and received a voicemail offering to reschedule or cancel for a full refund. I called back five times but only reached voicemail, so I left a message requesting to cancel and reschedule. Later, David from paddle west kayaking called, saying the tour guide was waiting and claimed he hadn't received our voicemail. He said he would check with his supervisor about a refund and call back, which he didn't. After multiple follow-ups David said we had to pay full price since the tour guide had shown up. We offered to come down within 15 minutes to complete the kayaking session if we had to pay full price anyway, but David said the tour guide had already left, and rescheduling would require another full payment. After requesting to speak to the supervisor, Alys, the manager called a few days later and apologized and said we would receive a 70% refund as the guide still needed to be paid. We agreed, but later received only a 50% refund. When questioned, she denied the 70% refund offer. This experience was incredibly disappointing. The lack of communication, unresponsiveness, and mismanagement ruined what should have been an enjoyable activity which was intended for a bachelorette party. I would not recommend this company to anyone considering paddle west kayaking in Tofino.
