See and Experience What Most Visitors
Never Do
Adventure away from crowds

There is no better way to take in the San Juan Islands than from the seat of a kayak. Our smaller group size provides for a more intimate guest experience.
Collect moments, not things

Our guides know the islands, waters, and coastlines inside and out, and will lead you to isolated bays and islets that offer the most stunning views.
Connect with nature

The Salish Sea ecosystem, our playground, is truly one of Washington’s greatest natural assets. Meet some of the marine mammals, sea and shorebirds, fish, and wildlife that also call this place home.

What Happy Paddlers Are Saying
Our half-day tour with Noah was one of our favorite experiences on our Washington trip. We went in August (the weather was great) and spotted tons of wildlife. Noah was extremely knowledgeable and provided thorough, enthusiastic answers to our constant questions about most aspects of the island. If we ever make it back to Washington, we'll be sure to come back here!
SOPHIE WAS OUTSTANDING!!! She not only gave us a personal tour (the other reservation fell through so it became a fun private excursion), but she was so smart and knowledgeable about the islands, its history and the incredible ecosystems we experienced. The water was perfect! And so many fun fury friends showed up, and we watched as they played in the water. Jellyfish were abundant, and we even had a clear view of the mountains. Nathan and Sophie made an incredible team, slowing down to show us fun beaches and historical points. Also encouraged us to sample the bull kelp! Yum! Thank you for a great time! You’ll not regret going with this crew!
The guide Austin was awesome! Very knowledgeable and helped everything go smoothly. Mom is 65 and we went tandems, he was kind and talkative and made her very comfortable in the water. The boats were stable and the paddles were Werner (less arm fatigue)! We were a small group of three! If you want Cadillac service choose San Juan Expeditions! Great views and a fun time!
My wife and I did a 3 hour tour last week. Our guide, Nathan, was outstanding! He was courteous, professional and had a deep fund of knowledge about the flora and the fauna of the area. The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful and the kayaking experience, our first, was remarkable. Nathan was patient and very supportive in giving us the basic skills we needed to be safe on the water and to make the most of our experience. I highly recommend San Juan Kayak expeditions and we're so thankful that Nathan was our guide.
The guides were amazing. Very knowledgeable. I will definitely book these guys again.
