The Kayak Experience

Sunsets on San Juan Island are amazing. Unlike most companies, we paddle the west side for our Sunset Kayak Tour for one obvious reason, the sunset in the west! Not to mention the amazing coastline and the opportunity to encounter a variety of marine wildlife, including killer whales.

We depart from San Juan County Park located on the west side of San Juan. The route takes us south to the Lime Kiln Lighthouse and we end the evening heading back towards County Pary.

The sunset time is the least busy time to be on the water. Most power boats have headed into the harbor for the evening. Leaving us a peaceful and quiet time on the water.

We operate with small group sizes to ensure you can easily communicate with your kayak guide, reduce our impact on beaches and wildlife, and the overall safety of the groups. Our goal is to provide experiences, not cattle drives.

Your kayak guide is key to having the best kayak experience.
All of our kayak guides complete very rigorous training. Your guide will be safe and knowledgeable in all things sea kayaking. Guides complete a full naturalist and island history training. Once guides have graduated from our training they are more than equipped to handle any situation on the water.

The Kayaks and Equipment
We use Fiberglass Two-Person Kayaks for this kayak adventure. The kayaks are comfortable and very seaworthy. We do not use plastic kayaks for any of our west-side kayak routes. Two-person plastic kayaks are too flexible and less efficient when we have more challenging conditions.

We also include Waterproof Jackets and Pants, and Dry Bags at no additional fee.

We strongly adhere to our motto of Quality, Guides to Gear.
