Nathan, our guide, had an impressive knowledge of the island. He also made us a fantastic lunch, and we felt very secure while kayaking. It was a wonderful day on the water.
Tiffany proved to be an excellent guide, and the small group allowed for personal attention. We enjoyed a delightful lunch, had wonderful company, a beautiful day, and saw plenty of wildlife!
The kayaking experience was fantastic. We enjoyed a small group paddling on tranquil waters. Liam shared a lot of knowledge with us. We took a break on an island for lunch and a quick hike. It was a truly lovely day.
Justin served as an excellent guide, sharing his knowledge and ensuring our safety on the tour. We spotted a bald eagle, numerous jellyfish, two harbor seals, several porpoises, and even glimpsed a sea lion. While it was physically challenging due to the current, I truly enjoyed the experience. The weather was stunning, with Mount Rainier visible in the background. I had a wonderful time.
Our experience with Justin was wonderful as we paddled along. Although we didn’t encounter orcas, we were delighted to see seals and bald eagles. The trip and lunch were both truly enjoyable, making it a fantastic way to spend the afternoon.
What a fantastic kayaking experience! Our tour guide, Eli, truly excelled at ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and enjoyed a memorable adventure. I had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this activity.
We saw one bald eagle, nine seals (including two pups), three jellyfish, two starfish, and three humpback whales. The trip was fantastic, and our guide, Chris, was great.
This was a really enjoyable experience. I want to give a shoutout to our guide Tiffany, who not only provided excellent instruction but also shared a wealth of knowledge about the local wildlife and nature.
We had a fantastic day on the water. While the current was a bit strong when we set out, as experienced kayakers, we managed just fine. We encountered seals that came quite close to us, as well as river otters. Although we didn't see any whales, we didn't expect to. Our guide Caroline was exceptional and highly knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this experience.
The San Juan Kayaking Tour was a fantastic way to explore the island. There was plenty of stunning scenery and chances to see marine life. Our guide was exceptional.
