Kayaking in Deception Pass State Park

Overview
No experience is necessary to join this professionally guided kayak trip. Bowman Bay is the perfect place for beginners to feel comfortable paddling on the sea. It offers beautiful scenery and lots of wildlife to seek out. Although this trip is conducted in Deception Pass State Park we avoid the turbulent water near the bridge which is more suitable for expert kayakers. If you plan to visit Deception Pass State Park then don't miss this wonderful opportunity to see it from the unique perspective of a sea kayak!

Great 1.5 hour trip. Our guide John was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed the trip. Only hoped we could have seen something like a seal or some type of wildlife. Was mainly scenic

Thanks for joining us! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with John. It is surprising to hear that the wildlife wasn't around. Those trips usually have plenty of seal and porpoise encounters. Come back again someday, hopefully those critters will cooperate next time!

We had an amazing time on the trip. Easy check in process and out to the water, especially as we had kayaked before. LOVED having a kayak with a rudder, a first for us, and made steering so much easier. Alex was a great guide and had so many facts for us, as well as great recommendations for the rest of our trip in the area. Our tour group was 6 and Alex did a good job of letting each couple go at their own pace and rotate between checking on on all of us. The group ahead of us was quite large through so that would be my only hesitation if the groups got too big.

Thanks for choosing AKT. It is nice to know that you had a fun time with Alex. Most of our trips are smaller than 10 people, I wonder if the tour ahead of you may have been a private outing with a larger number? We love to accommodate families and friends if they all want to head out at the same time. Come back again some day!

We loved this kayak tour! We were new to sea kayaking but the 1.5hr family-friendly tour was just as easy as described. Our guide Ryan was very knowledgeable, showing us the local marine and wildlife, and the views were wonderful. Would definitely go again!
