Where We Paddle

Routes vary based on group dynamics, weather, and tides, but our 3-Day Kayak Tours often visit:

Jones Island Just northeast of San Juan Island, Jones is a state park with well-maintained campsites, potable water, and composting toilets. A scenic trail loops around the island, offering stunning views—a guide favorite for good reason.

Stuart Island A mix of state and private land, Stuart Island’s Reid Harbor is a protected inlet perfect for camping. With potable water, composting toilets, and a quiet beachside campground, it’s a serene escape. Don’t miss the 2.5-mile walk to Turn Point Lighthouse—sunsets here are unforgettable.

💪 How Strenuous Is It?

The level of exertion varies depending on weather, tides, and your personal fitness. We recommend light exercise and stretching before your trip—especially upper-body and core workouts—to help you feel strong and comfortable in the kayak.
