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!

Beautiful, just be sure to not drink the water while you're here. It's been contaminated by the nearby military base.

Thanks for joining us! We hope to see you again.
I'm not certain about which water you are referring to, but the water flowing to the spigots on Fidalgo Island come from a sophisticated water treatment plant which uses water from the Skagit River, far upstream in the mountains. We fortunate to have fantastic drinking water here. I don't think that it would be possible for the naval base on Whidbey Island to contaminate it.

Alex, our kayaking guide, was super kind, knowledgeable, and upbeat. We felt very safe kayaking with her. The group was nice and small with only one other couple. Very fun and unique experience!

The paddle was fun, the guide Evan was great, full of local and nature info that he shared. I would highly recommend Annacortes Kayak Tours.
