autonomous sea kayaking and recognized certifications

For those who are starting sea kayaking independently and want to acquire recognized certifications, Avolo plein air is the place! You will have the chance to paddle in areas that are both exposed and protected. The area in which you paddle will allow you to understand different characteristics of a body of water. From its point exposed in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, you will have the chance to observe several types of phenomena such as: currents, waves, winds and tides.

The different courses offered will allow you to start with more confidence, understand and apply better techniques at sea as well as practice this sport safely. You will therefore be able to acquire more autonomy in preparing for your future short or long-term outings. You will practice different recovery and towing maneuvers to ensure your safety and that of your companions.

The training courses issued by Avolo plein air are taught according to the course content of the Paddle Canada federation. You will therefore be recognized from coast to coast.

The Paddle Canada federation has four skill levels to achieve in addition to the introductory (flat water). Paddle Canada level 1 is the equivalent of CKQ level 2. This is the case for the higher levels. It is therefore possible to have recognition between the two federations.

Do you want to do training, team building or even get together to appreciate the Gaspé coastline? Outdoor sea kayaking is the ideal approach to strengthen your group bonds and develop your leadership in an unconventional way. Choose the nature and adventure approach rather than other more conformist methods. A full day will provide a significant physical challenge as well as a multitude of learning in an environment outside of your comfort zone.

The unique coastline of Gaspésie will offer you an extraordinary change of scenery. This sector, considered a must-see in Gaspésie, will allow you to have an exceptional look at the magnificent landscapes, explore an island rich in marine fauna and, who knows, maybe paddle in a cave. In addition, with the local biodiversity, you may have the chance to observe whales, seals and a multitude of seabirds. While paddling, you will also have the chance to learn more about the different geological formations, the history and the basics of sea kayaking.

Avolo relies on quality equipment, which allows us to offer you more pleasant outings, whatever the conditions.

Come enhance your vacation with family or friends with an exceptional ecotourism and adventure experience!
