We offer a wide range of San Juan Island kayak tours and adventures. Join a Full-Day or Half-Day Kayak Tour and enjoy routes specifically designed for paddling in prime orca whale habitat. Our evening Sunset Kayak Tours travel along the west coast of San Juan with views of the Olympic Mountains and Vancouver Island. Sunset Tours are one of the quietest times to be on the water. With other companies off the water much earlier we have the water and the sunset to ourselves. Kayaking San Juan Island should be on every kayaker and traveler's bucket list.
The Bioluminescence Kayak Tours offer a unique opportunity to explore the water at night. Departure times for the Bioluminescence Tours are limited because we schedule them around the new moon cycle to ensure dark skies for an enhanced experience.
All guests are provided dry-bags for the day. Waterproof jackets and pants are provided upon request at no charge.
