Excursion de 3 heures en kayak de mer dans les îles de San Juan

Our family booked the 5 hour sea kayaking tour as a fun way to enjoy the outdoors while we were in Washington. There was great email communication prior to the trip, and even a phone call the morning of our tour to make sure we were properly prepared. We arrived and were delighted to find that it would only be the 6 of us with that guide for the day. Yay for an unexpected small group! Jason introduced himself, answered all of our questions, and got our outfits and kayaks situated to go out on the water. After setting off, he did a wonderful job of talking to us about the area, explaining things we were seeing, and being politely conversational while still giving us plenty of space to enjoy the beautiful scenery. He pointed out lots of wildlife we might have missed, like river otters, bald eagles, and even guided us close enough to look at a harbor seal and her pup while educating us on them. Jason let us take the lead on determining our path/plans while we were out, but made helpful recommendations based on the weather and his observations regarding our skill level. We enjoyed our time in the kayaks and lunching on the bluff, as well as his insights into Washington, and suggestions for other things to do while we were on vacation there. We really enjoyed this day and the tour through AKT, and would recommend it to others.

They were highly recommended on Yelp along with several other companies. Most of the tour companies had the same price. The time availability, Golden Hour Tour discount, and Anacortes departure allowed us to narrow our decision. We were very pleased with our three our tour. However, it did not seem like it would work well for beginners as basic skills were needed to paddle and navigate. I never quite got comfortable with the peddles for turning and would have had them a little lower as my feet slipped off a couple times. I could not bend my knees enough to reconnect the peddles for turning on my own. Our guide assisted me which held up the tour though. We were in a tandem which worked well for us as my husband was recovering from surgery. We were covered with a skirt to keep us dry for the most part. Some water did leech in to wet our bathing suit bottoms so we were glad we brought a dry change of clothes at the end. We saw eagles, seals, jumping fish, and other birds. Whales do not come in this close to the main land so we had no expectation. The water was like glass in parts, slightly turbulent in others, and the island shores simply serene. If you stuck close to the guide, he was very knowledgeable.

A great way to see the islands and nature, up close & in person! Our guide Bence was fabulous, informative, pleasant, and conversational. We plan to do this again!

It was amazing! We had such a wonderful time! There was just enough paddling and resting for the 3hrs and we were able to see four seals swimming around us and orkas!

It was an AMAZING day on the water!! Ryan was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable about all the different aspects of the day, wildlife, water ways and the history of the islands. The booking was super easy, and filling the waivers out ahead of time was super simple and really convenient. The folks that greeted us and checked us in were super friendly and explained the day very well. Overall this was an excellent experience and I highly recommend going with these folks.

Our guide was kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. We had a peaceful day on the water, seeing sea urchins, seals, and beautiful landscape. The preparation was easy and quick so that we could spend most of the time on the water. It was a great experience.

This was my second trip with AKT and I have nothing but great things to say. The booking was easy, the reminders were helpful but not overwhelming, the guide was wonderful, and the location was stunning. Got to eat some seaweed direct from the water, see a sea cucumber, pet an urchin, and spot seals, harbor porpoise, and eagles (amongst other things). Out of their control, it happened to be a spectacular day in the PNW, so the paddle itself was relaxing and the exact best way to start off the long 4th of July weekend. Thank you!

We actually scheduled a 5-hour kayak tour. I am 60 and I brought my 3 kids in their 20s. I loved that it was us and our own tour guide and that he kept us together, well informed and safe. McKeegan was communicative, insightful as to the water and creatures we were seeing, and clear in his directions. It was a cool and beautiful day and he was flexible to our ask to take a longer lunch break and on our timeline for the trip. HIGHLY recommend as part of your visit to the PNW, Whidbey Island, Anacortes area.

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Anacortes Kayak Tours! From start to finish, the entire operation was professional, seamless, and incredibly welcoming. The staff did a fantastic job of making sure everyone in our family felt completely safe, comfortable, and excited before we even hit the water. Our guide, Bence, was exceptional—not only highly skilled and knowledgeable about the local waters, but also fantastic at keeping everyone engaged with fascinating insights about the local wildlife and history. Porpoises, eagles, herons… everything you hope to see. The highlight was an harbor seal, swimming up beside the kayaks, rolling on his back, and my daughter swears it waved to say hello. Gliding through the stunning scenery was breathtaking, and experiencing the natural beauty of the area from the water was unforgettable. It was the perfect balance of a great outdoor activity and a relaxing, scenic adventure. If you are looking for a top-tier, family-friendly excursion with a team that truly cares about giving you a great experience, look no further. We cannot recommend Anacortes Kayak Tours enough and will absolutely be back!

My young adult grandkids were visiting Anacortes, had taken the 3 hour tour a few years ago and were excited to do it again. Megan, the owner, was very helpful in scheduling, their tour guide was wonderful, and they had a great time paddling around Burrows and Allan Island. It was the highlight of their PNW trip!
