Three Hour Tour:

This San Juan Island kayak tour begins with introducing you to our kayaking equipment and giving you an informative kayak/safety lesson. Once all participants are comfortable and ready to start kayaking San Juan, we will launch from our specially built kayak docks onto the protected waters of Mitchell Bay starting our 5-6 mile round trip along the west side of San Juan Island. Enjoy an expansive view of the snowcapped Olympic Mountain Range and neighboring Canada as you kayak though kelp forests and view sea stars along the rocky coastline. While on the water your knowledgeable and friendly naturalist kayak guide will educate you about the surrounding region and wildlife while helping you further improve your kayaking skills.

Examples of some commonly seen flora and fauna: Bald Eagles, Pacific Harbor Seals, Orcas (Killer Whales), Dall's Porpoises, Great Blue Herons, Ochre Sea Stars, Pacific Madrones, Douglas-firs and forests of Bull Kelp.

Location: These tours leave from our custom kayak docks at Snug Harbor Marina and Resort located on beautiful Mitchell Bay which is located on the west-side of San Juan Island.
