Why Go with Crystal Seas?

SMALL PERSONAL GROUPS

A great trip involves many factors. One of these is the group size. A smaller group is safer, allows for more interactions between the guides and guest and gives our guests a chance to know each other. Furthermore, we can also adjust and modify the trip to the individual desires and interests of the group, allowing our guests to participate in various activities ranging from birding, to advanced kayaking, to custom bicycle routes, to photography oppertunties.

PROFESSIONAL GUIDES

We place a lot of emphasis on providing the best guides available, we strongly believe that an outstanding professional guide can make the difference between a good trip and a fabulous trip. We choose guides who are friendly, knowledgeable, have great attitudes, are excellent leaders, great teachers and who love what they do. We provide two guides on all of our multi-day expedition groups of 6 or more.

TAILORED TO YOUR SKILL LEVEL

We begin each of our tours with a thorough safety/kayak/bicycle lesson to familiarize you with your equipment so that you are adequately prepared for your adventure. This lesson includes paddling technique, sea kayaking safety, biking techniques, biking safety, becoming familiar with our safety gear and other helpful and necessary preparation for our expedition.

Come explore the islands in a way that few people get to...

Bicycle the most scenic routes giving all of your senses a rejuvenation and then kayak coastlines rich with wildlife. (Day 1 & 3 we paddle in prime orca whale territory). Breath in crisp fresh air as you hike Mount Finlayson with vistas of Mount Baker, the Cascade Mountain Range and the Olympic Mountain Range. On expeditions of 4-6 days your guides take you to Lopez Island to cycle along quiet country roads that wind down to beautiful coastal views, past fields of grazing sheep and vineyards. On Orcas Island we kayak throughout the Wasp Islands or over to Sucia Island, both spot with spectacular wildlife opportunities. Each night retreat to a comfortable room and explore the the Friday Harbor village on your own for dinner.

We provide you with drinks and lunch..

Starting with lunch on the first day and ending with lunch on your last day we provide lunch and snacks in between. You will be impressed by the heartiness of our well prepared lunches and then you will be able to enjoy dinner in Friday Harbor on your own. (Dinner is not included). We can accommodate your dietary needs, just ask us.
