Locations
Larrabee State Park
Just 20 minutes south of Bellingham, Larrabee State Park—Washington’s first state park—offers a stunning mix of rugged cliffs, forested trails, and breathtaking views of the San Juan Islands. This beloved coastal gem is the perfect launch point for our kayak tours, blending marine and mountain scenery for an unforgettable adventure.
We offer half-day, full-day, sunset, and bioluminescence tours, all beginning from the park’s scenic shoreline.
After your paddle, take time to explore Larrabee’s many trails. Hike up to Fragrance Lake for a serene forest escape, or relax on the sandy shores of Clayton Beach. If you’re not ready to leave, the park’s beautiful campground offers the perfect place to extend your stay—just be sure to reserve your spot in advance!
Lummi Island
Lummi Island is one of the quieter San Juan Islands, with a small community of just over 900 residents. A short ride on the charmingly tiny ferry across Hales Passage brings you to this peaceful island known for its art galleries, cozy cafés, and stunning beaches.
Our kayak tour launches from a private spot in Legoe Bay, home to one of the world’s most sustainable reef net fisheries.
After your paddle, stretch your legs with a walk through the Baker Preserve, explore the historic stone quarry at the Aiston Preserve, or simply wander the island’s quiet roads, picking blackberries in the late summer.
Clark and the Outer Islands
Sitting in the shadow of Orcas Island, the outer islands offer some of the best paddling the San Juans has to offer! Hop between Clark, Sucia, Matia and Patos Island while taking in the big views of Mt. Baker in the distance. All these islands are marine state parks and offer some incredible hiking trails in addition to pristine beaches and beautiful campsites.
Perched on the edge of the Strait of Georgia, these islands are a haven for wildlife. Keep an eye out for soaring bald eagles, curious harbor seals, and the occasional visit from a passing orca pod. If you're lucky, you may even spot a group of Steller sea lions hauled out on the rocky shores.
Cypress Island
Cypress Island truly has a little bit of everything. Amongst the San Juan islands that don’t have a ferry service, it is the largest and offers 542 acres of public land to explore. Spend a layover day hiking the whole island, or go for a short post paddle sunset jaunt up to Ealge Cliffs to take in the views of the whole archipelago. Take an adventurous paddle to Strawberry Island, a seldomly visited island offering big views of Rosario Strait.
Between the paddling, hiking, and beach lounging opportunities, there is something for everyone on Cypress. It’s our favorite destination for family trips and adventurous paddlers alike.
