Kayak the San Juan Islands

Come with us and explore one of the last frontiers. "High up in the northwest corner of Washington State lies a delightful archipelago of multi-sized, emerald islands. Sea-girt, sky-washed, and crowned with evergreens, the peaceful San Juans are an insular paradise whose special charms are without peer anywhere on the globe. Archeologically and spiritually, the San Juan Islands are a world apart. Archeologically because the islands actually are the last remaining mountain tops of a submerged continent, far older than the mainland of North America, now slowly receding, Atlantis-like, to a reluctant oblivion.."
Kayaking invites you into a marine environment filled with bald eagles, tide rips, seal pups, whirlpools, orca whales, and spectacular sunsets. Our internationally accredited and experienced guides will ensure a safe and rewarding trip. Our next expedition could be your greatest adventure!
Described beautifully by authors Marge & Ted Mueller, the beauty of these islands capture all who pass their way. Sheltered bays and peaceful inlets provide excellent camping for sea kayakers. Wave-cut bedrock benches, long sandspits, and water-carved sandstone are excellent places to start exploring the 375 miles of saltwater shoreline these islands have to offer.
If you are looking for a spectacular view or simply a place to sit and relax, a short hike up from the shoreline will bring you to lush forests and then to open hillside meadows. When all of this is mixed with the abundant wildlife, the smells and sounds of the ocean, and the bustle of the small harbors you may start to feel what locals call "the island magic."
