5 Hour Kayak Trips from Anacortes

A full day of sea kayaking in the San Juan Islands

 

Burrows Island, San Juan Islands, WashingtonOur Burrows Island kayak trips have always been our most popular outing for many reasons. Abundant wildlife, undeveloped shorelines, and great views all add up to a great day on the water.

This kayaking tour follows a similar route to our 3-hour kayak trip but with the extra time at your disposal you are able to see much more at a leisurely pace and most trips are able to circumnavigate all three of the beautiful San Juan islands found in Burrows Bay.

Many times we are able to walk around the grounds of the historic lighthouse on the west side of Burrows Island and Coast Guard Station which is a fantastic opportunity for photographing the surrounding San Juans, or watching porpoise foraging in the water off shore.

We usually only run one 5-hour kayaking trip per day, which allows us to vary the departure times in order to take maximum advantage of the currents and make the paddling easier. This is great for paddling, and fantastic for wildlife, but the trips do fill quickly and it is highly recommended that you call early to make your reservation!

*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.

48 hour notice required for all cancellations. See Rates & Schedules for more information.
