Historique

Fondé en 2000.

The original store opened in Roberts Creek, BC as the first specialty outdoor shop on the Sunshine Coast. The owners, Jamie and Sarah Mani, are school teachers and education as a component of adventure has always been a top priority. In 2009 the store moved to the Wilson Creek Plaza in Sechelt to be at the foothill of Dakota Ridge and offer more retail products for our great customers. With a summer paddling center in Pender Harbour, Alpha Adventures has a well rounded offering to get you on an adventure– but keeps its small town charm, and friendly, knowledgeable staff.
