6 Hour San Juan Islands Kayak Activity

Explore the stunning waters of the San Juan Islands on a full-day kayak tour, offering a unique opportunity to paddle in the whale waters. This six-hour adventure, led by expert guides, takes you through the prime whale-watching areas where sightings of both resident and transient orcas are possible. Glide through scenic shorelines, vibrant kelp forests, and enjoy the diverse marine wildlife, including seals, sea lions, and various bird species. Each paddle stroke unveils new wonders, making every moment an adventure in nature.

Your courtesy van takes you for a 5 to 25 minute drive to your chosen launch beach. The instructional period requires a full hour to ensure that everyone is fully prepared for your kayak adventure. After launching, we explore the shoreline for 3 to 4 hours, depending on currents and winds. To stay refreshed we go ashore for a ½ hour break at the mid-point and take numerous floating rests throughout the paddle at interesting locations or when wildlife appears. Guests are often surprised to learn that they’ve paddled 5 to 7 miles during the kayak trip. After returning to the launch beach we rack the kayaks and board the van for the return trip.
