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.

EXCELLENT experience! It was low impact and beautiful. A guide is with you every step of the way looking for wildlife and explaining the ecosystem. Margaret was amazing and loves what she does and it showed during our trip. Thanks for the experience of a lifetime!

We joined the 9:00 am beginners tour of Bowman Bay, led by Shemel, and loved it. It was clear we were in good hands. Our 17-yr-old is new to kayaking and felt comfortable the whole time. We learned about the Bay, wildlife, tides, and kayaking. A nice way to get out in nature and explore Deception Pass.

Cora was so warm and friendly we felt like we were in a tour with our best friend. She asked us questions about ourselves while educating about the flora and fauna; her expertise as a naturalist is unmatched. Thanks to Cora we were able to log sightings of several different native species; truly remarkable! Cora has so much enthusiasm for exploring her surroundings and sharing the joy of these experiences with others. She is so confident in everyone’s kayaking ability, you feel a lift in spirit after being out on the water with her.
