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!

This is an amazing activity for families! We have 2 young children who wanted to try kayaking. This was the perfect amount of time. We saw a harbor seal, oyster catchers, crabbers, boats and so much more. The entire process was easy and very safe. Thank you to our guide Joe who was amazing! He explained everything and was very engaging with our kids.

The group was great, equipment easy to use and the natural environment beyond spectacular! Mr. Tim the leader, was really awesome. His knowledge of both kayaking and our surroundings -including interesting tidbits of Geology, Biology, Zoology & local facts was great and enhanced our excursion. The company's online registration was not great, but could have been our lack of Wi-Fi/cell coverage at points.

Thank you for choosing AKT! It is nice to hear that you enjoyed your time on the water with Tim. The lack of good cell coverage in the park can be challenging at times. In a "worst case scenario", guests can always ask one of our staff to use the landline in our concession facility in order to contact our main office to complete the reservation. I am glad that it all worked out for you though. Come back again someday!
