Hard to believe that it's almost November! Now that the dust has settled, we want to acknowledge and thank everyone who played a part in making our summer one for the books. Our team of guides truly exceeded all expectations, and we couldn't have done any of it without their hard work, passion and positive attitude. The local community supported us in more ways than one. And to all of you whom we had the pleasure of paddling with, we owe it all to you. We are extremely blessed to have the opportunity to share the beautiful San Juan Islands with all of you. Hard to believe that we are now accepting reservations for our 47th season?! We can't wait to do it all again next year. Until then

Style matters 😎

From our van fleet to our fun, colorful kayaks to our brand new PFDs and paddles, we take pride in our attention to detail and high-quality gear!

“If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good. If you pay good, they pay good.” - Coach Prime

We won’t pay you, but come let us show you around our beautiful island from the best seat in the house 🌊

Happy Earth Day! Spring has sprung in Friday Harbor. Time to get those boats turned right-side-up.

Let's call these guys Buttercup and Goatzart.

Buttercup: "Do you ever wish you were a human?"
Goatzart: "I used to, but now I'm not so sure..."

Animals know the forbidden truth. We could all learn a thing or two from Buttercup and Goatzart (plus they are really cute to look at)

Want to meet them and be enlightened? We have a couple of seats left on our June 16-20 inn-based tour. We just so happen to be spending 3 of the 5 days of the trip at Pebble Cove Farm, their magical sanctuary. Give us a call to learn more!

We are happy to announce that we will be doing free day trips for locals again this year! During May and June, we often have available seats on trips and having locals is such a value add for everyone involved. It's a no-brainer really. Share this post and tell your friends.

Our inn-based trips are a hit and we are officially sold out for July, August, and September!! We have a few remaining seats on our June departure and are offering a hefty local discount. Share this post and tell your friends, and give us a call for more info.

Don't get us wrong - we LOVE to camp. But when you mix paddling with some hiking, a warm bed at night and some of the best restaurants that the San Juan Islands have to offer, it's pretty dang sweet.

Here is Mike warming up for his Mt. Constitution hike last summer. Be like Mike.

Today was not the day we expected! After hearing all three pods on the Haro Strait hydrophones last night, we got up early and scanned the west side of San Juan Island from north to south without turning up any dorsal fins. A couple hours later, we got word of Southern Residents heading west from Sooke, and assumed they were all heading back out.

Then in the early afternoon came a report of an orca with young calf off Lime Kiln heading north. At first we assumed Bigg's, but thanks to back of the camera shots that were shared by Ashley Whitman, we realized the adult was L90 Ballena, a 31 year-old female who has not been documented with a calf before and who is the only surviving member of the L26 matriline.

We caught up with the pair at San Juan County Park. Just as surprising as the calf was perhaps the fact that there were no other whales in sight: it was just the two of them! Over the next five hours they went back and forth on the west side, and we were able to catch up to them at several viewpoints on shore.

While unexpected, it's not totally without precedent for new moms to take some space away from the rest of the group or for a single matriline, even a small one, to be in inland waters on their own. Thankfully the Center for Whale Research was able to get on scene and should have a more complete update in the days ahead.

*insert heart-eyes emoji*

Word is finally getting out that we are running the best trip around. We can't decide what we love more - paddling or hanging out on Orcas Island at Pebble Cove Farm!!
