Destinations

Freshwater Bay

This trip leads out of Freshwater Bay to the open waters of the Straits of Juan de Fuca. Here, critters willing, you will be able to see river otters, sea otters, seals, sea lions, eagles, cormorants, the occasional whale and many more water species. When the water visibility is clear, the urchins, sea stars, crustacaens and much more can also be seen. Come and explore the coves and inlets of this delightful bay with us!

Port Williams

This launch site allows you to explore the protected water of Sequim Bay where seals, Dahls porpoise, sea birds, eagles, puffins and much more can be viewed. You can check out the old fishing shacks and vessels left on the peninsula while experiencing exciting channel paddling. This is a great place to paddle by moonlight...please call to schedule an evening paddle—we like to have some hot chocolate by the campfire when this one is done!

Protection Island

Protection Island is a beautiful half day paddle where you can see the elusive Puffin. You must be respectful of the trespass limits and are not allowed on the island, but you can bring binoculars and get close enough to see the birds. This paddle also lets you experience some of the currents and rips that occur when paddling around an island.

Port Angeles Harbor

Beautiful Port Angeles Harbor is a paddle you won't want to miss. Have your picture taken alongside the big tankers and freighters that come into the harbor for rest and repair, with the beautiful Olympic Mountains in the background. Discover the amazing sea life that lives under the pilings and docks, and explore the dynamic shoreline of the harbor. The tour includes a trip around the buoy at the mouth of Ediz Hook and then returns to the shore.
