3-hour Sea Kayak Tours in the San Juan Islands

Anacortes, Washington State

A convenient and rewarding way to enjoy a sea kayak tour in the San Juan Islands

No previous paddling experience is necessary to enjoy this trip!

These kayak trips are our most popular tours for a variety of reasons. The convenient location, perfect length, affordable prices, and diverse departure times all add up to a great day of sea kayaking in the San Juan Islands.

For your comfort and security we custom designed easy to use sea kayak docks which makes entering and exiting our kayaks almost effortless.

The first few minutes of this kayak tour are in the bathtub-like conditions of the marina. This allows folks who have never been sea kayaking before to settle in and get comfortable in the kayak.

What we might see on this tour:

• seals
• bald eagles
• Orca whales
• porpoise (one of the best places in Washington State to see them)
• peregrine falcons (and their nest)
• coyotes
  (extremely rare in the San Juans)
• sea lions
• interesting sea birds
• sea stars and urchins
• kelp forests (huge seaweed!)
• the oldest rock formations in the San Juan Islands
• a historical lighthouse

Kayaking into Burrows Bay opens up panoramic views of the Olympic Mountains which present a magnificent backdrop to the San Juan Islands scenery.

Most trips paddle out to 3 small islands nestled in Burrows Bay. When the conditions are right your guide may attempt a full circumnavigation of Burrows Island or Allan Island, showing you outstanding views of the San Juan Islands and the Williamson Rocks National Wildlife Refuge.  There is something new around every corner on this kayaking tour. Our knowledgeable kayak guides are always on the lookout for seals, eagles, porpoise, and of course.....Orca whales.

Although we pride ourselves on not making unreasonable claims in regards to sea kayaking with whales, this trip presents great opportunities to see whales, and many of the other creatures who call the San Juan Islands home.

Everyday is different, but one thing is certain, you will enjoy your experience kayaking in one of the most outstanding places in Washington State.

*Please remember that the whales follow their own schedule, not ours. Although we do enjoy kayaking with these magnificent creatures on our trips, the frequency and proximity of sightings are ultimately decided by the whales. We feel that it is misleading and irresponsible for any kayak tour operator to imply that whales will be seen on any given sea kayaking trip.
