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 were so thankful that the day we were to kayak the winds were 14-17mph and they agreed to reschedule us. Phew! Mike was our guide the next week and he was knowledgeable, patient with fitting my very tall husband with the rudder foot pedals and very professional. When a guide loves what he does, it is contagious! Next time in Anacortes we will go out again with Anacortes Kayak.

Thanks for joining us! We are glad that you were able to come out the next week and that the wind didn't blow on your second attempt. I'm happy to hear that you had a fun trip with Mike too. He's a great trip leader and a fantastic addition to our team. We look forward to seeing you again!

We did the Bioluminescent 3 hour kayaking tour. It was 3 hours of paddling with plenty of time to check in, get into life jackets and instructions before that. We had Nikki and Sam as our guides. Though the info mail clearly mentioned, we somehow forgot to carry our jackets. They both went out of their way to arrange jackets for us. We would have been really chilly without those. They were really great guides and very helpful. They took care of everyone in the group from novices to expert kayakers. They took us out for the view of a beautiful sunset. And then we paddled to dark coves where we saw the magical bioluminescence. It really was a wonderful sight. Stars in the sky and inside the water too. That was something that you really have to see once in your lifetime. And I am happy that we did this with AKT. They made our experience very amazing from start to end. We would recommend them in a heartbeat to our friends.
