Multi-Day Inn to Inn Biking & Kayaking Expeditions…

Crystal Seas offers the perfect multi-sport combination for the active at heart.  It’s a vacation that includes not only sea kayaking, but it includes bicycling the islands as well…all the while staying at our favorite inns and dining at our favorite restaurants.  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 retreat to luxurious inns and dine at exquisite restaurants.

Few people get to experience each island’s unique style the way that you will.  Lopez Island (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 Juan Island’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 accommodations, 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!

Examples of some commonly seen flora and fauna: Bald Eagles, Cormorants, Black Oystercatchers, Pigeon Guillemots, Pacific Harbor Seals, Orcas (Killer Whales), Dall's Porpoises, Great Blue Herons, Ochre Sea Stars, Deer, Fox, Pacific Madrones, Douglas-firs, forests of Bull Kelp and Eel Grass beds.  

Accommodations: Our Inn to Inn biking & kayaking tours include staying on Lopez at the Inn at Swifts Bay, Rosario Resort on Orcas and Friday's and the Friday Harbor House on San Juan Island.  Each inn will cater to the most discerning guest.  Enjoy wonderful breakfasts made with fresh local fruit, sleep in comfortable beds and soak in hot tubs at the end of the day.  If your expectations are high then this tour will exceed them!

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 Inn to Inn Multi-Sport Expedition group size to 10 guests and 2 guides.
