Casual Lodging Kayak Vacation
Casual Lodging Kayak Vacation
We kayak along the base of rocky cliffs, past pebble beaches in search of seals, porpoises, bald eagles, humpback and orca whales. This 4-6 day trip includes paddling the shores of San Juan Island as well as taking "day trips" to Orcas Island and/or Lopez Island where we explore more coastline and wildlife. We also offer an optional whale watch cruise for all our guests to increase the odds of seeing orca whales to over 90%. Your guide will make a gourmet picnic lunch and provide snacks and beverages while you are on your daily adventure with us. You can explore the town on your own for breakfasts (not included) and dinners (not included). Accommodations range from village condos, economy inn rooms, or an island home that we will rent for your group. This tour is based each night on beautiful San Juan Island. We will take care of all of the details so all you have to do is plan to have fun!
Length: These tours range from 3-6 days in length.
