Our Inn to Inn Multi-Sport Expeditions are the Perfect Choice

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. We kayak the coastline of San Juan Island's west side where wildlife is abundant and cycle along quiet country roads to views of the snowcapped Olympic Peninsula, stopping at a lavender farm and vineyard. Orcas Island offers cycling through Moran State Park where you can enjoy a panoramic view of all of the islands atop Mount Constitution, hike around lakes down to waterfalls, and paddle through a small group of islands known as the Wasp Islands. Lopez Island is the smallest of the major San Juan Islands and offers kayaking along mellow shores in search of bald eagles and cycling past organic farms to unpopluated beaches.You will get to know these islands inside and out through cycling and kayaking.

We provide virtually everything...
Here are some of the items which we provide for our guests:
- all kayaking and bicycling gear, weather and safety gear

We provide you with all accommodations
...we have carefully chosen the friendliest, most luxurious accommodations that the San Juan Islands offer. We have built relationships with the innkeepers and feel that you will not only be pleased but you will not want to leave at the end of your stay!
Our excellent knowledgeable and friendly nature/kayak/bicycle guides...
... we strongly believe that an outstanding guide can make the difference between a good trip and a fabulous trip, therefore we place a lot of emphasis on using the best guides available. We pride ourselves on our choice of guides. We choose guides who are people persons, friendly, knowledgeable, have a great attitude, are excellent leaders, great teachers and who love what they do.
No previous experience is required...
...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.
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.
Sleeping at luxurious inns on different islands each night...
...offers you a chance to experience each unique island style. We will stay at the the Friday Harbor House or Tucker House in Friday Harbor and Outlook Inn or Turtleback Farm Inn on Orcas Island.
