WOW! What a way to spend some time. Our morning didn’t go to plan and I apologised for our chaos but Cam replied “chaos is where the magic happens” I appreciated his understanding and hope to remember the statement when I need it.
But more importantly there was no chaos on their part - Cam set us up for our 4 hour rental with a relaxed but professional manner.
The instructions were clear and he gave us the confidence to just go out and enjoy it.
Which we did! We quickly grew in confidence out on the water but remember to follow the advice about the wind - it is harder work getting back!
That said a 50+ over weight cold water swimmer women and her 40+ brother alpine scrambler, back country skier and mountain biker (for some reference to our different life styles and fitness )
Managed it well and had a great time!
If you are thinking about it - Do it!
I highly recommend Cam and the team to set you up for a great paddle in a beautiful part of the world!

We rented a kayak and paddled down the inlet, the views were so majestic and the water so calm and peaceful. We stopped at Sandy Hook Park and took in the scenery. The safety instructions were thorough and perfect for first timers

Cam was extremely helpful to make our anniversary day in Sechelt very special. We flew in with Harbour Air so Cam arranged for us to use their bikes to peddle around town before our kayak rental. The double kayak was a new experience for both of us and he provided just the right amount of advice and directions.

We rented a double kayak for half a day, booked online and paid deposit. The kayak was an ocean kayak, nice to paddle and pretty new. It was a very hot and calm day. Unfortunately it was quite boring paddling around with nothing very much to see except float plane and boats. There are a lot of jelly fish at the launch area. We kayak at three places during this trip to Sunshine coast, this is the least enjoyable one. It is really just a location thing, no fault of the rental company. Would prefer the Egmont adventure rental where we saw a colony of seals up close and personal, and the pedals and paddles where we kayak to the “ aquarium”. They also require a minimum of four hours rental so personally we will stick to other kayak rental company.

Cam, Charlotte and everyone we met at Halfmoon Sea Kayaks was wonderful.
If you want to go sea kayaking in Sechelt I'm sure many people could provide that, but if you want to go sea kayaking in Sechelt with a guide team who will actively try to selflessly enrich your experience and inspire you, go with Cam and his crew!
My partner and I were on a personal trip and Cam generously helped us with a Portage, despite the fact he doesn't formally offer that service and it was a busy day at his shop. He was very knowledgable about the area and didnt hesitate to share his knowledge.
The guide team clearly has a high attention to detail, and are safe, responsible, and fun kayak guides; high quality human beings too. The shop was very welcoming!
Thanks Cam & Charlotte! Hope you're having a lovely summer :)

Thank you so much to Cam and Charla for an evening we will never forget.
Our party was four adults and four teens (13-15). We joined three other single paddlers for an amazing evening of breath-taking views, wildlife spotting, a moonlit paddle and playing with bioluminescence.
Cam and Charla were fantastic guides. They ran a helpful orientation ensuring everyone was set up for a safe and enjoyable evening.
As we paddled Cam and Charla engaged with each participant to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Midway, we stopped for a very elegant snack and watched the sunset. The trip home by moonlight was truly magical: gliding on velvet water and learning about bioluminescence.
We all would 100% recommended you take a trip with Cam and co. We know we’ll go out with them again!!

Conveniently located, pickup process is a breeze. Straps were provided to mount the kayaks to the car. We went to North Thormanby Island, the departure point for which is about a 15 minute drive from the rental. There is a lake right next to it, which is another option for a trip. We were given maps and suggested the best place to leave from, and were given tips on the points of interest along the way. A 24-36 hour rental is suggested for such trip :) Thanks a lot!

We had an amazing experience doing the evening tour at Halfmoon Bay with Charla! She took us to all the cool spots where we could see seals, sandpipers, and bioluminescence in the water. A picnic was prepared for us while we watched the sunset. Charla was very sweet and attentive. Overall an amazing experience and I'd do it again! Thanks for the magical evening!

Was in Sechelt for the weekend with my family, and called Cam the morning of to arrange a rental for the day. He was super helpful in giving us some advice about the weather and about the options for rentals. Cam met up with us an hour after the call and had us set up shortly after arriving! He gave us super clear instructions (most of us hadn't kayaked before) and made sure everyone was comfortable. We all had a great time out on the water, and were super happy with the service! Would recommend anyone coming to the area to rent with Halfmoon Sea Kayaks! Thank you Cam!

i had never been to this area before and booke donline when i saw the weather would be great.
Cam greeted me warmly when i arrived and was very friendly. the paperwork only took 2 minutes while he got the kayak ready. the launch area is a bit rocky so you water shoes are definitely recommended her, although i only brought flip flops and got away with with it...it isn't ideal. on a positive, they do have a foot spray hose when you are leaving, so you can get cleaned up; and many places don't have this.
the kayak itself was breautiful. 16ft. my own is 12ft, and i noticed how much better this was. My 2 hour trip out was like floating on glass. no wind, nobody else on the water...very quiet. i got lots of great photos of moon jellyfish, which are absolutely everywhere here.
Cam did warn me that the wind was likely to pick up a bit on my way back, and it did. not a challenging paddle back, but it slowed me down a little, so great advice to leave a little more time for the return!
great views all the way along. A great 4 hours on the water! This place is also very reasonably proced if you have done this elsewhere!
Highly recommend!
