Guided Sea Kayak Tours for Families with Children Ages 6-12 Years
San Juan Outfitters is the only company in the San Juan Islands that offers family specific kayak tours!
Our family tours stay in the protected waters on the northwest corner of San Juan Island. Often stopping at Posey Island State Park for tide pooling and exploring, the Family 3 Hour Kayak Tour is fun for the whole family! But don't worry-- this isn't a "kiddy kayak tour."
Family 3 Hour Kayak Tours emphasize a hands-on wildlife experience-- hold your first jellyfish, sea star, and other shore life. You might also have a chance to explore a kelp forest as you look for seals, otters, and other marine life.
Our exclusive launching facility at Roche Harbor and our finger kayak docks provide safe and easy access to the water. Our kayak guides are great at making sure kids feel comfortable and empowered! Our guides are great at engaging with people of all ages. The first part of your tour will cover safety and a "how to" portion, making sure each paddler is ready for the adventure!

What our customers are saying:
Our family of five felt very comfortable, safe, and excited to begin our first kayak adventure. After our 3-hour tour we saw seals, eagles, deer, and kelp. It was so peaceful being right on the water. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to the Pacific Northwest!

What our customers are saying:
An incredible experience! This was the first time we'd taken our kids kayaking (ages 12 and 8), and they loved it so much they now want to invest in kayaks! Chris was an awesome guide ... super knowledgeable about the surroundings and wildlife!
