You must do this once in your life! We did the 3 hour sea kayaking tour during the first week of May. The air emp was 60ish on the water, so really didn't need to buddle up as much as we thought. Thanks for the waterproof gear bags to stow that extra clothing. Our guides were great! They oriented us... More

Thank you San Juan Outfitters for the knowledgeable, friendly and helpful guides to lead us on an unforgettable kayak journey. The 5 hr trip was beautiful! We enjoyed the kayak tips, extra care and attention given by the guides, and amazing scenery. We saw countless bald eagles, several fox, harbor seals, sea stars, kelp crab, porpoises, and probably more. What... More

We very much enjoyed our day kayaking trip with Nick (aka, Biscuit). He was attentive, knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with. We learned so much about the area and kayaking in general. As novice paddlers, we felt safe with him as our guide. His enthusiasm for kayaking was catching. We would recommend your outfit to others based on... More

I titled my review "above and beyond" because we felt like the owner Brian did just that for us. We arrived at the ferry stop in the San Juans as the kayak tour was supposed to begin due to my poor planning. Brian personally picked up my girlfriend and I at the ferry stop and drove us to Roche Harbor... More

Our guide was patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Heading out from Roche Harbor was delightful. We were novices, and the experience made us want to go again. Thanks, we totally recommend these folks. More

My son's wedding at Roche Harbor Resort offered us the opportunity to take family and friends from the Midwest on the whale watching tour. The staff was great. They are extremely knowledgeable and helpful and knew exactly where the whales were so we were able to see them, including a 3 month old Orca. The whales were close enough for... More

I can't recommend these guys enough. They put together a custom trip package that could not have addressed what I was looking for better. I wanted an adventure, and I got one that will be something I'll fondly remember for the rest of my life. I wanted to see wildlife, and lets just say the dozen or so Orca we... More

My husband, 7 yr old son and I took our kayak trip in late June this year and I can honestly say it was one of the best vacation experiences we have ever had. Our guides were fantastic, they made the trip interesting and engaging for all of us. The “hands on” aspect of this trip made it my son’s... More

Our whale watching adventure turned out to be a lifetime experience because our captain, Brian and his first mate, Tiffany went extra miles (literally) to take us where the whales were traveling off Saturna Island. We saw J, K, and L pods including a calf just two months old! Both our guides were informative and friendly. The captain was careful... More

This was our first time kayaking, we are new to the pacific northwest and wanted to experience the San Juans. Our guide Nick was awesome, providing everything we needed to make the trip both enjoyable and comfortable. Nick was not only extremely knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna, but his nautical experience also made us feel safe when the... More
