A summer adventure on the water.
Join Sweat & Social for an unforgettable afternoon of paddling, exploration, and connection as we make our way from Stewart Bay to Cole Island for a one-of-a-kind coastal experience.
In partnership with Paddle N' Go, we'll paddle together through the calm waters of Esquimalt Harbour before arriving at historic Cole Island, where we'll gather for refreshments, mocktails, snacks, and time to connect with fellow attendees before making our return journey back to shore.
Whether you're stepping onto a paddleboard for the first time or are already comfortable on the water, this experience is designed to be welcoming, supportive, and fun. Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to unplug, soak up the beauty of Vancouver Island's coastline, and experience a side of the island that many locals have never explored.
Expect ocean views, summer sunshine, thoughtful details, and an afternoon that blends movement, adventure, and meaningful connection.
