Kayak the San Juan Islands

Ready for a Fun, Fitness Adventure in God's Great Outdoors?

Experience an exhilarating fun-filled adventure glamping and kayaking in the beautiful San Juan Islands located in the Northwest part of Washington State.  

The San Juan Islands are one of the world’s top sea kayaking destinations. Nowhere else in North America can you experience the variety of unique and even endangered species as we paddle over the waters of the San Juan Islands. 


Paddling this area offers rugged coastline, expansive ocean views, snow covered mountains, and lots of marine wildlife including orca whales, seals, sea lions, eagles, and more.  


Sail Off to Adventure

We begin the adventure with a dinner and overnight stay near the Seattle/Tacoma International Airport. 

The next morning we will be transported to the Seattle waterfront where we will board the high speed catamaran San Juan Clipper for a 3 hour beautiful site seeing trip to spectacular Friday Harbor.  


Enjoy Glamorous Camping

From there we go to Lakedale Resort and campground for a glamorous camping experience. Glamping is a hot new trend! Ditch the sleeping bag for a comfy king sized bed with cozy cotton sheets and flannel duvet cover. Custom 4-person canvas cabins complete with bathroom and shower await you.  

Wake up in the woods to the smell of fresh coffee, bagels, homemade muffins, pancakes and fresh fruit served in the mess tent.


Count on Your Expert Guides

We will then head out for a 3-day/2-night adventure paddling and old-fashioned camping around the San Juan Islands. Everything you need for a fun-filled trip is included: first rate kayak equipment, delicious made-from-scratch meals, 2 person tents, pads, and sleeping bags.

All under the watchful eye of expert kayak guides.  


Friendships & Memories for a Lifetime

Upon return from our kayak experience we will board the Clipper catamaran for our return to Seattle were we will enjoy one last meal together and share our happy memories then settle down for a good night’s sleep before heading our separate ways the next morning.
