Deer Harbor Marina - Orcas Island
$155 /person • 15+ years
Pack your favorite picnic lunch and join us for a relaxing time exploring the islands. Kayak to a small, uninhabited, state park island or isolated beach for a fun experience of the islands. We include time to enjoy hiking trails, peer into tide pools (if the tide is low), or just relax during our ample lunch break. Our route provides views of many small islands and wildlife encounters on the water and on shore. A variety of wildlife is commonly seen on these tours.
Eastsound Village has a large grocery store and natural food co-op to supply all you need for lunch. Orcas Store (at the ferry landing) is also well stocked. We bring a soft-sided cooler to keep it all fresh.
All of our tours include about 30 minutes of gear adjustment and basic instruction. Expect about 2 hours kayaking before lunch and 2 hours after lunch.
