Quick Details
Paddle the Wildcat Cove in San Juan Island With Your Group!
Our same great Half-Day Kayak tour, but with the intimacy of being able to go at your own pace, have a smaller and more personalized group trip.
An excellent introduction to sea kayaking in the San Juans, and only 20 minutes away from Bellingham, WA. Includes “hands-on” instruction to acquaint new paddlers with safety procedures and equipment. Our three-hour day has 2-3 hours of on-the-water paddling and exploration. If time allows we stretch our legs on a Nature Conservancy protected island in the bay or a beautiful beach along the way, paddle the cove and explore the intricate geology and wildlife! One of our favorite tours good for the whole family!
