Orca whale watching on sea kayak trips San Juan Islands Washington
"My family and I have just returned from our incredible kayak tour in the San Juan Islands. Our sole purpose was to go kayaking with the orca whales. I can't tell how happy we are that we chose Sea Quest Expeditions to guide us. What an inspiring day we had... orcas were everywhere! It was amazing! I have never been so afraid and so awestruck all at the same time. Thank you for such a memorable trip.  It was the greatest birthday of my life! Kim Berger Portland, OR

Why choose Sea Quest to Kayak with Orca Whales on your Adventure Vacation?

● Best trip prices to kayak with orca whales in the San Juan Islands or anywhere on the west coast of North America.
● Best routes to kayak with orca whales in the USA.
● Best campsite - private & exclusive - located right on the orca whale main feeding and traveling route.
● Best trained biologist/naturalist guides.
● Best and newest kayaks & gear, all less than 1 year old.

When your primary goal is to kayak with orca whales, our San Juan Islands kayak tours are your best choice. No one else has the long term record of success that derives from our 20 years of company experience and the special knowledge that comes from having a biologist founder.

The San Juan Islands are home to three pods of resident orca whale families and are traveled by many other transient orcas. Their summer fishing and mating patterns cause them to concentrate their activities along the west side of San Juan Island - our home base and kayak trip launching point for both day trips and camping tours. Our campsites are also located along the orca whales primary travel and feeding routes, including our privately owned Orca camp. No overcrowded public campgrounds on a Sea Quest kayak tour!

Fortunately, our climate during the peak orca whale watching season is magnificent! The San Juans are located in the warmth and sun created by the Olympic Mountains 'rainshadow'. We actually have native cactus growing side by side with trees normally found in coastal rainforest! Come see why the incredible San Juan Islands are the most popular sea kayak trip destination on the west coast.

San Juan Islands kayak with orca whale watching

Our headquarters is found near Friday Harbor on San Juan Island, in Puget Sounds protected inland waters. We are a short distance from Seattle, Washington on the border with British Columbia, Canada. Our location is perfect for beginners to have their first experience to kayak with orcas.

Sea Quest features both half-day and full-day orca whale kayak tours to the only reliable orca whale watching area in the west coast. This location is known as "Whale Watch Park" (Lime Kiln State Park) and there are only a couple of other outfitters besides us who operate their trips there. Unfortunately, many other companies advertise seeing orca whales on their tours, but unless they paddle this exact area their chances of encountering orcas are almost nil.

Sea Quest also features kayak camping vacations of from two, three and five days. These tours go to the outer San Juan islands and are planned to follow the main hunting and traveling path of the orcas. There are only a couple of waterways through the islands that are reliably frequented by the orca whales and we will use these. Our campsites will give us direct access to the best orca whale waters. Although we don't see orcas on every kayak trip, as they are wild and not completely predictable, we try our hardest and will take you to the best places possible that conditions allow. Many people are satisfied by the rest of wildlife that is seen on almost all of our San Juan Islands kayaking trips: harbor and Dall's porpoise, sea lions and harbor seals, mink and river otters, bald eagles, and incredibly diverse tidepools.

This web site, www.sea-quest-kayak.com, is your best source for information on our orca whale  kayak tours and why Sea Quest Kayak Expeditions is your best choice. Our kayak equipment is graded expedition quality and will amaze you with the level of ease and stability. People of nearly any age can participate in our trips - even children as young as five years old. We feature women-only kayak tours, family kayak trips, youth kayak adventures, private custom kayak vacations, and a range of scheduled trips open to be joined by solo travelers, couples, families and friends. Custom kayak tours can be designed for groups, such as family reunions, friends from work, women only, and others.
