What our customers are saying:
Flew in on an epic flight from Seattle with Kenmore Air. The NW scenery is absolutely breath taking. We were pleasantly greeted by SJO staff walking onto the dock. We were then introduced to our guide, who had incredible knowledge of NW ecosystem, culture and history of the area! (and of course in kayak safety) We hopped in our kayak and took off on our 3 hour tour of the San Juans! Floating along the glassy waters we saw lots of otters and birds, learned the names of surrounding islands, and even saw Canada! It is an adventure we won't forget any time soon!
What our customers are saying:
We had never gone kayaking let alone sea kayaking. Wyatt was our knowledgeable guide and made this first time experience memorable. We really enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend it!
