Early Morning Kayak Trip

Make the most of your day with an early paddle and lots of time to explore. Our Lopez Island tours offer you the lowest ferry rates (Lopez is the first island on the San Juan ferry route) and Lopez Island is the best island destination for family biking, hiking, sunsets, picnics, and photographs!

During this scenic Lopez kayak adventure we will cover approximately 2-3 miles of protected shoreline, and paddle at a leisurely pace for approximately 2 hours. Your kayak guide is ready to teach you the basics of paddling in a quick and fun manner so that you can enjoy your time on the water.

Our guests enjoy stable double and triple sea kayaks on our Lopez Island tours. This is a kid-friendly trip — bring the whole family! Youth ages 6+ are welcome, and ages 6-12 (or those who wish to relax and take photos!) are best matched with 2 adult paddlers in a triple (we want everyone to have a relaxing and enjoyable time!). Come explore with us! Please plan for up to 3 hours total for this excursion for ferry/travel planning).

This kayak tour is available on select days in July and August.

What We’ll See

Our Lopez Kayak Tours are all unique! Bald eagles, harbor seals, purple and orange starfish, moon jellies, dals porpoises, herons, and Dungeness crabs are just some of the marine critters and wildlife that we may encounter on this tour.

Of course, there are many other sights to enjoy! Seaplanes, passenger ferries, beachfront cabins, and driftwood creations are just some of the unique island scenes you can expect. Feel free to bring your waterproof camera!

Washington State Ferries now accepts vehicle reservations for travel to the San Juan Islands — we recommend that you make a ferry reservation!
