San Juan Island Kayaking
Kayak trips from San Juan Island offer unobscured views of the Olympic Mountains and of Vancouver Island, just the other side of the Canadian border.
You have a slightly better chance of spotting an orca whale from your kayak, as the three Southern Resident pods frequent Haro Strait or Boundary Pass.
Join a "Kayak Quest for Whales” today! Our specialty is finding orca whales while kayaking. Sea Quest was selected by National Geographic in their “10 Best Trips in the World for 2011” and USA Today picked us for their “World's Top 10 Adventure Bargains.” Visit our website now to watch fantastic videos made for National Geographic TV and ABC News.
