If you want to kayak in Whidbey Island, this is the company you should go with. Our guide, Patricia, and our team member, Jenna, were both so knowledgeable about the island and species, Patricia knows so much about the intertidal species that live around the beaches on the south of Whidbey Island, and were super fun to get to know that we hugely overran our expected time. It was the most beautiful day, and we had just the best time ever - definitely the highlight of our trip. We were lucky enough to see a lot of Pacific Harbour Seals, as well as a number of California Sea Lions, beautiful ospreys and bald eagles overhead. For the best of Whidbey's wildlife with truly lovely people, this is the only choice for kayaking. I would go back any day!
