3-Hour Sea Kayak Tour in the San Juan Islands

Overview
We are the only kayak tour company that is currently able to lead trips to Burrows Island. You will be exploring unique shorelines that few visitors to the islands are able to experience.

Save time, and save money!
The experience does not require the hassles of taking a ferry to San Juan Island. Anacortes, located on Fidalgo Island has two bridges connecting us to the mainland.

Because you are able to drive directly to us your time on the water is maximized. Many tour companies on other islands include a lengthy shuttle ride as a part of their trip thereby reducing the actual time spent kayaking and encountering wildlife.

Single kayaks are available for participants for an additional $25pp. Must be 18 years or older. (Must be requested in advance and is subject to availability.)

Professionally trained guides will see to the details and ensure your comfort.

My husband and I recently had a fantastic Kayaking experience with the Anacortes Kayaking team. As a first-timer and non-swimmer, our guide, Nathan, made sure I felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip. They provided all the necessary equipment, including a life jacket, and gave a thorough safety briefing before we set off. The scenery was breathtaking, and the calm waters made it easy for me to get the hang of kayaking. Nathan was always nearby, ready to offer assistance or answer any questions. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I highly recommend. The staff's professionalism and attention to safety made me feel at ease, and look forward to our next Kayaking adventure

We had an amazing time on our 3 hour kayak trip! We were the only ones in our group so it was a bit of a private tour! Our guide, Ben, was amazing and was full of knowledge, which we loved! He was very educated and aware of the different tides and currents and that made for a really amazing trip! We saw 2 eagles, one of which caught a fish right in front of us! A lot of really cool tide pool creatures since the tide was low, and tons of curious harbor seals! As east coasters, we had a really great time learning about the ecology of the area and Ben was really excited to teach us everything he knew! Could not have asked for a better experience.

It is great to hear that we were able to meet your expectations, and that you enjoyed your time with Ben. He had to go back to school recently, but we hope to see him out here again next summer. Thanks for choosing AKT!

Eight women got together on this adventure to celebrate our adventurous friends big 80th Birthday. It was a fun and fitting way to celebrate. Anacortes Kayaks did an amazing job taking care of us and providing an interesting and fun trip. Several of us were experienced kayakers, some had just a little and a couple of newbies from Florida joined our group. Our guide made sure we all had a safe and exciting day. All of us would highly recommend Anacortes Kayaks for a special treat or just a great paddle.
