This is the perfect family outing for everyone from kids to grandparents! Although just one mile south of Friday Harbor, Griffin Bay is a world away from it all. This trip offers peace and quiet and superb views of Mt. Baker and the Olympic Mountain range. Unhindered by strong tidal currents, it is an ideal trip for families and anyone wanting to experience sea kayaking in a uniquely peaceful, beautiful environment. We will explore picturesque Dinner Island and its colony of chubby resident harbor seals, then turn south toward quiet coves. You may see bald eagles, Dall’s or Harbor porpoise, river otters, mink, and oodles of migratory sea birds such as scoters, harlequin ducks, loons and mergansers along with our local herons, cormorants, gulls, and kingfishers! This trip moves at an easy pace and offers a chance to get away from the crowds.
