Our three-quarter sea kayak circumnavigation of San Juan Island affords participants a chance to kayak among the many small, uninhabited islands that “ring” San Juan Island. You’ll have opportunities to see Orca whales and other large marine mammals. With sublime views of Mt. Baker and the Olympic Mountains this trip is a Northwest classic!

With over 200 rocky, forested islands to explore, the San Juan Archipelago is a superb kayak destination.  You’ll experience the fun of paddling and camping on remote islands accessible only by boat!  Harking back to an earlier time, the islands were used by the native Lummi and Swinomish tribes as summer fishing camps. The pristine waters of the San Juan and Gulf Islands are host to over 80 resident orca whales. Other wildlife sighting may include minke whales, Dall’s porpoises, seals, sea lions, and many bird species including eagles.
