Our family of three had a great time with our guide Don this past August. We took a 5 hour tour, saw whales, seals and a bald eagle. Don was friendly and knowledgable about the area and wildlife. He was skilled with the kayaks and group dynamics. We were in a small group of 8. We felt confident in his... More

The experience was phenomenal. Our guide was very knowledgeable and professional. My partner and I were in a tandem kayak. There was just one other couple and pure guide. We kayaked among a pod of about 20 Orcas. On came within a boat length of our kayak. This pod moved quickly from a distance to the south right under us.... More

Our group of 5 on a 5 day exhaustive tour of the islands was led by Nick, the world traveler and master camp chef. Nick (or Biscuit, as he refers to himself) was informative, experienced, helpful, etc. We couldn't have asked for anyone better! Starting in Friday Harbor, we paddled to Blind, Yellow, Jones, Spieden, Stuart islands and others, winding... More

We did a 3 day Kayak tour with SJO and it was fantastic! We had a group of 4 and the trip was easy to arrange. Our guide, Don, met with us the evening before the trip to give us dry bags, packing tips, and to get more of a feel for our experience (varied), and meal planning. We went... More

As first time seakayakers, san Juan island outfitters was the perfect trip for us. We took a 3 hour afternoon tour with Alicia.

Part of our group had transportation problems that caused them to arrive on the island 2 1/2 hours later than planned. The folks at San Juan Outfitters graciously moved our launch time and even picked us up in Friday Harbor in their van for the drive to Roche Harbor. They were flexible and understanding. Our guide did an excellent job... More

We had a great experience kayaking with our group pf 13, spanning all experience levels. What really impressed me most about the guides at SJO was the professionalism of their orientation and natural history interpretives along the way. Thanks for a great afternoon!

Had an excellent time ! We saw 13 whales! Our guide and ecocoligt kept us well informed about the different species and fun facts about different islands! Our guide managed to always find the best spot to view whales and still kept a respectful distance from them. Very fun. I would definatley go whale watching here again!
