Kayak tours and trips in Maine.
Kayak
expeditions in Maine. Leo came to Crystal Seas with teaching skills
that he acquired from being an education major in college and his
love for the outdoors that he gained by being raised at the foothills
of the Cascade Mountains in Washington . He now lives in Key West
guiding our tours in the Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge.
Not only will he lead you though a fascinating maze of mangroves but
he will keep you laughing at his tales of Key West life. Emi has been
with us since 2002. She grew up in the Pacific North west and
graduated from Western Washington University with an Environmental
Education degree. She guides in Costa Rica , the San Juan Islands
and is an expert at leading our family tours. Her friendly and infectious
laugh will leave you feeling like you have made a friend for life!
Right now you can be enjoying a sea
kayak tour, to find out more information about this please visit
our website. The safety of our guests is of the utmost importance.
Between the equipment chosen for your use, the first-aid, cardiopulmonary
resuscitation, thorough on- and off-water safety training that all
of our guides have received and the safety equipment that we use,
you as a guest will feel safe and comfortable while out on the water
with us.
Hey
campers…here’s the ultimate multi-sport combination for the active at
heart.It’s a vacation that
includes not only sea kayaking, but includes bicycling the islands as
well. Sea kayak one day among small remote islands in search of sea birds,
seals, porpoise, river otters and orcas…then cycle the next day along
unpopulated roads past rolling pastures dotted with sheep and along steep,
breathtaking cliffs.Each
night we will impress you with our culinary talents while you relax and
enjoy camping at its finest!
Few
people get to experience each island’s unique style the way that you
will. LopezIsland (known for its friendliness and
“the wave” that islanders give each other in passing) is the smallest
of the major San Juan
Islands. Orcas Island, with Moran State Park, the panoramic view on top of
Mount Constitution, the lakes and waterfalls, is a must see when visiting.
The coastline of San JuanIsland’s west side will leave you
breathless with the view of the snow capped Olympic Peninsula. You will get to know these islands inside and out cycling and
kayaking each one.
These
tours range from 2-6 days in length and virtually everything is inclusive.
We provide all kayaking and bicycling equipment, safety equipment, snacks,
gourmet meals and drinks (except for alcoholic beverages), all camping
equipment including tents and sleeping pads, a support van to transport
your luggage and to give you a lift if you need one, as well as our expert
guides to make sure this is the best vacation you have ever had!

Small
personal groups…
…a
great trip involves many factors. One of these is the group size. A
smaller group is safer on and off the water, allows for more interactions
between the guides and guests 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 photography, to hiking. For all these reasons and more we
keep our regularly scheduled Camping Multi-Sport Expedition group size to
10 guests and 2 guides.
At
least two guides on all of our Camping Multi-Sport Expeditions…

of our guides will make your trip with us great, but two will make it even
