The pristine waters of the San Juan Islands and Gulf Islands are host to over 85 resident Orca Whales and other wildlife.
Day 1
On your first day, we'll work our way northward kayaking along the picturesque west side of San Juan Island. We'll have spectacular views of the Olympic Mountain range to the south and Vancouver Island to the west. After we cross Spieden Channel we'll be paddling among forested, rocky islands including Spieden, Goose and John. Our destination for the night is Reid Harbor on Stuart Island, which is only accessible by boat. You will make camp among a forest of madronas, cedar and Douglas fir trees. You will cap the day off with a delicious 3 course dinner and glass of wine prepared by your guide.
Day 2
The next day, you'll do "le grand" circumnavigation around Stuart Island passing by many smaller uninhabited islands and glide past numerous birds including Great Blue Herons, Cormorants and Bald Eagles. We'll return to our campsite on Stuart and embark on an afternoon hike to the Stuart Island one room schoolhouse and light station. Wrap up the day with another tastefully prepared dinner from your guide, and if you are up for it, a starlit paddle to see bioluminescence.
Day 3
Your third day will be spent retracing our route back to our put-in site. You'll be in prime whale viewing territory again, so your chances of seeing resident Orca Whales is high. This is a terrific ending to a memorable 3-day adventure!

For this experience, our partners are taking proactive steps to help mitigate the potential spread of COVID-19. These measures include maintaining the small group nature of their tours with a maximum number of 8 people (or up to the maximum allowed by government policies). Guests will have access to hand sanitizer at all times but our partners kindly request that guests bring their own if possible. In addition to regular cleaning practices already in place, our partners will be disinfecting all hard surfaces routinely in offices and before and after tours for all vessels and kayak and camping gear. Personal flotation devices will be disinfected after each use and hung to dry. Guests will be asked to abide by the most current regulations set forth by the Center for Disease Control, World Health Organization, Department of Health, and Washington State regarding mask use. For your own comfort we ask that guests provide their own mask (one which is CDC approved) for all tours.
