Welcome to Coastal Spirit Expeditions (CSE), leaders in world-class expeditions and hospitality. At CSE our trips are celebrated for their professional guiding, exquisite cuisine, and unbelievable photo opportunities.

From the Atlantic to Pacific Coasts we'll guide you to some of the most exotic, rugged and ancient places in the world. Whether we're sea kayaking or cycling we'll provide you with a spirited adventure holiday that will introduce you to the natural and cultural history of the region you have chosen to travel.

We offer day tours, multi-day tours, special tours and professional instruction. No prior experience is necessary for taking an active approach to learning about a region, nor is age a limiting factor. However, a love for the outdoors and a desire to experience new and exciting things is recommended. 

At CSE emphasis is placed on service, quality, fun, and of course your personal safety. Whichever trip you choose, the staff at Coastal Spirit Expeditions is dedicated to making each trip a once in a lifetime experience. We are here to provide you with a top of the line sea kayak or cycling adventure that is educational and will inspire future adventure travel and a commitment to the preservation of marine and wild life.

All CSE Tour Guides are certified with ACSKG/SKGABC or AECSKO and are well versed in the areas you will be paddling.

YOUR TOUR DIRECTOR

Peter Whaley (owner/operator) of Coastal Spirit Expeditions is no stranger to the outdoors. At a very early age he found his sea legs and became as comfortable on the water as he did on land. Now, some 30 years later, he is an accomplished kayaker, canoeist, cyclist and skier. Peters extensive trip log has taken him to some of the most beautiful places in the world.

Peter is a graduate of the Adventure Travel Guide Program at the University College of the Cariboo in British Columbia and now holds many certifications, some of which include:
•ACSKG (Association of Canadian Sea Kayak Guides)
•SKGABC(Sea Kayak Guides Alliance of British Columbia)
•SRT (Swift Water Rescue Technician) Instructor with Rescue 3 International
•SAR (Search and Rescue) manager with PEP (Rrovincial Emergency Program)
A strong medical background in Paramedics and Advanced Wilderness first aid compliments his extensive, practical experience. Photography is also a passion, as every trip is documented and captured through his various lenses.
