Guides & Gurus
We love to play! And the ocean is our home. From starfish (yes, we still call them that) to blackfish, we do our best to show you it all! Come on out and let us take you into the wild...
Kye
FOUNDER, "BOSS GODDESS"
​
KAYAK, PADDLE BOARD AND HIKING GUIDE, PADDLE BOARD YOGA AND KIDS YOGA INSTRUCTOR, KIDS CAMP INSTRUCTOR, RETREAT GUIDE, DOG SLED GUIDE (MUSHER)
Kye is not only our indigenous water and land guru, she is also the founder of the Dog Mermaid chaos. She loves to laugh, play and find weird things in the wild. After spending a day with her, you will be hooked on marine love, winter play, and may even find yourself surrounded by a pod of our majestic blackfish, or you will be well versed in the art, history and humane sport of dog sledding!

Johnny
THE "EXEC"
​
KAYAK GUIDE, CAMPING GUIDE, KIDS CAMP INSTRUCTOR, CLIMBING AND MOUNTAINEERING GUIDE
After great debate we have come to the conclusion, there are no words for Johnny.
Echo
THE "MERM"
​
KIDS CAMP DIRECTOR
How better to design a great day at camp than to have an avid paddler, dog sledder and goop poker design it for the kids. Echo monitors all our decisions and lets us know if we have it going on or if we simply are a bore. She also helps teach all she has mastered at such a young age. If it wasn't for her and her friends we may still be sitting on the shore scratching our heads...
Guest Instructors
FROM KAYAK GUIDES TO YOGA INSTRUCTORS
We have many part time and guest guides who come out to play. Too many to list so we like to have Janet smile for them all!
