I have gone on a San Juan Outfitter's kayak tour on each of my yearly trips to the San Juan Islands. Their guides are top-notch and knowledgeable. Their kayaks are stable and well maintained. Even though I have been on both their 3-hour and 5-hour tours I am never disappointed and return refreshed and exhilarated. I was a complete kayak... more

Customer service was wonderful. My family of five enjoyed renting the hourly kayak. We cruised around Roche Harbour enjoying the new experience. We rented 2 doubles and a single. Our kids ages 6, 7, and 12 had a wonderful time. We even had the added enjoyment of seeing a harbor seal playing in the water nearby. more

The staff was cordial enough when we made the reservation on the phone just before boarding the ferry. Because we had a 12 yr old, they insisted that we take the family tour even though we informed them that our 12 and 15 yr olds were up to the task of an adult tour and preferred not to have a... more

My family including an 11 & 15 year old went kayaking last week while staying in Roche Harbor. When you read so many positive reviews, you wonder can they really live up to these glowing reviews? The answer was 'Yes"! Our guide, Deborah, could not have been more friendly, patient, and enthusiastic. We were lucky to have the most perfect... more

Three day kayaking trip: This was a casual, easy paced wildlife viewing trip. Our guide was both knowledgable and friendly. We camped in very nice state parks. The food was average. If Orca whales are what you would like to see there may be other options with a higher success rate. This was a relaxing easy going trip around some... more

The San Juan Island Outfitters Roche Harbor sea kayak tour on May 3 was the highlight of my introduction to the Pacific Northwest! I was coming to the Seattle area for the first time and booked two days of R&R in beautiful San Juan Island before the trade show. My main goal was to relax and take in the great... more

My husband and I went on a 3 hour sunset kayak tour last August and fell in love with the San Juan Islands. The sunset was incredible and as we sat watching the sun slowly sink beneath the horizon, curious harbor seals poked their heads up to sneak a peak at us! A Bald Eagle also sat majestically in a... more

Some colleagues and I were in Seattle for a conference in September and decided to take a day trip up to San Juan Island to go sea kayaking. With an odd number of folks (5), and a questionable weather forecast for the day (rain), we were anxious to see how our trip was going to unfold. After talking to other... more

What an amazing experience! My husband and I took our first trip to the San Juans this past summer, and were admittedly a little overwhlemed by the number of whale watch operators on the island. After a little research, we decided to go with San Juan Outfitters, as they are the only company that leaves out of Roche Harbor (on... more
