We took the bioluminescence tour at sunset. We saw so much wildlife--porpoises, seals and birds--and the bioluminescence is magical! Our guide, Quinn, did a great job sharing stories, history and facts about the area. We like to do things on our own more often than through a tour, but as we were coming from out of town, the convenience of jumping in a rented boat with all the accessories and having a guide who knew where to go and was familiar with the currents was perfect.

My wife and I decided this kayak tour would be a fun way to get out of the house for an afternoon. It was well worth it. Emma, our guide, was great. Super friendly and knowledgeable about the local species. We will definitely be back for some of their longer trips.

We thoroughly enjoyed our kayaking trip! We went with a group of 11 during our camping trip at Deception Pass State Park. It was great for all the ages we had: 4-11 year old kiddos and all us grownups. Not only was guide verbally engaging throughout (the safety demonstration, the time on the water, and getting back up onto land), Blake took his time making sure all guests felt comfortable and heard. He took us into the beautiful waters around the park—through kelp forests, up next to rocky cliffs and small islands, describing wildlife, plant life, and geographic features. We saw a moon jellyfish, porpoises, oystercatchers, decorator crabs, great blue herons, and best of all, Blake steered us near (but not too close!) to a group of harbor seals that included 2 pups! All were delighted. He patiently answered the questions of the kids. As a parent, I really appreciated how he gave responses, asked questions in return, admitted when he didn’t know something, and gave ideas for future research once home—great modeling for our young ones. This was a fab excursion for our group, just the right amount of time during our camping trip. Thanks so much!

Your review really makes me smile. It is so nice to hear that we are doing a good job with the kiddos. That trip is specifically designed for them. Thanks for choosing AKT! We hope to see your family again.
