THE CRAFT

Pick the boat that fits your group

Choose between tandem kayaks, single kayaks, or paddle boards; kayaks can be mixed within a group, while paddle boards are used by the entire party if selected.

THE GUIDANCE

Personal instruction on the water

Your private guide outfits the group on the beach, offers paddling pointers throughout the tour, and tailors the route and coaching to your group’s pace and interests.

THE WILDLIFE

Coastal wildlife and coastal scenery

After launching from the harbor, the tour moves into the open water of the Saratoga Passage for close‑range wildlife spotting along Whidbey’s coastline.

What the day feels like

What the two hours feel like

The rhythm is brisk but unhurried: a beach briefing and outfitting, a sheltered launch where you settle into your craft, then a move into open water to explore the shoreline and search for wildlife while your guide doles out technique and local observations.
