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!

We recently went as a family on the Quickie kayak tour and all of us agree that it was a great experience! I accidentally booked the tour the day before our intended date and although they had to take a small fee for the inconvenience, they were very accommodating. They were able to book us for a date and time we wanted. Being novices, the tour guide was able to teach us the basics and also talked to us about whatever we observed in the water. He also eased our fears about anything that could go wrong along the way and was patient with us as we were learning. Overall, I highly recommend reserving a spot if youā€™re ever in the Anacortes area!

My grandchildren were visiting and I wanted to take them on an experience they'd never had before. We really were happy with the entire experience. Jake was our guide and we were so happy to have him take us on this adventure. I felt safe, he was flexible and made certain we all felt comfortable in our boats. He was able to paddle to each of us and even spent some time inquiring about my grandchildren's plans for school and their interests. Thank you so much for providing this experience. We will be back.

Thanks for taking a moment to post this nice review! It's nice to hear that you had a fun trip with Jake. He's a pretty amazing young man and a fantastic member of our guide-staff. Let us know the next time the grandkids are in town. We'd love to see you again!
