Led by an expert guide, kayak the San Juan Islands, paddling by small islands and hidden coves with the possibility of seeing a harbor seal haul out, as well as bald eagles, river otters, and a variety of local and migratory sea birds. Majestic Mount Baker and the Olympic and Cascade ranges create a picturesque backdrop for your sea kayaking experience.

Our exclusive whale watching adventure lets you witness these majestic mammals in their natural habitat and discover why the San Juan Islands is considered the best place to view orca whales.
