  • Description

    We take you away from the crowds to the Clover Passage featuring a much quieter, more local vibe and most days calmer waters and dryer weather than you'll see where the ships dock. You’ll paddle with us on protected ocean waterways, circumnavigating 2 or 3 small islands featuring an immense array of inter-tidal life such as bright sea stars, a bald eagle’s nest, resident seals and sea lions and the potential to encounter many types of migratory birds, Sitka deer, Pacific porpoises, humpback whales and sometimes even orcas.
    With a 6:1 guide to guest ratio, our kayak tours are very intimate and educational. Taking such small groups allows us the benefit of spending more time on the water than other tours and no need to make you feel rushed through any part of your experience.
    This excursion is perfect for vacation kayakers and new paddlers as we use two person tandem sea kayaks that are very stable and have rudders so most of the steering is done with your feet from the back seat.
