Click here to Reserve your Kayak Vacation Today! Sea Quest Kayak Expeditions - Sea kayaking trips to the world's premier whale watching waters.Our company has been operating sea kayaking trips for twenty years and our two founders bring a combined 40+ years of professional kayaking experience to the program. Our home base is located near Friday Harbor on San Juan Island, in the protected Puget Sound waters of Washington State near Seattle. Friday Harbor is a tiny town that is easily reached by ferry or scheduled air flight from Seattle and other nearby cities in Washington. Friday Harbor is the gateway to the sheltered waterways of the San Juan Islands, an ideal area for beginners to have their first sea kayaking experience. Even so, experienced paddlers will find enough challenges and dynamic conditions to be attracted to the San Juan Islands. Sea Quest Kayak Expeditions is the leading operator of kayak tours in the San Juan Islands, home to nearly 100 orca whales, also known as killer whales. We offer half-day and full-day kayaking trips to the primary orca whale viewing area off the "Whale Watch Park" (Lime Kiln State Park). This whale-watching park is located on the west side of San Juan Island and is the only location in the San Juan Islands where whales can be reliably seen on a day tour. Many other outfitters advertise the possibility of seeing whales, but unless they kayak along the shores of Lime Kiln Park, their chances are severely reduced, usually to zero. We also offer camping kayaking adventures of two, three and five days to the outer San Juan islands. These trips are designed to carefully follow the main feeding and traveling routes of the orca whales, thereby maximizing chances for orca whale watching. Apart from the west side of San Juan Island, there are only a couple of other islands within the archipelago that afford chances for kayak campers to see orca whales, and these will be our destination. Although we may not see orca whales on every single trip, we will do our best to show them to you, and we will take you to the best places possible that conditions allow. No other outfitter comes close to our record of success! Other marine creatures that we see on nearly every sea kayak vacation are Dall's porpoise, harbor porpoise, harbor seals, river otters, mink, bald eagles, and amazingly colorful tidepool communities. The list of occasionally seen animals includes minke whales, humpback whales, Steller sea lions and California sea lions. Our sea kayak guides are biologists and environmental scientists so they will make sure that you see the most and learn as much as your curiosity desires. They are gifted naturalists, teachers, camp cooks, and trip leaders who have dedicated themselves to continually improve their skills. Our sea kayak guides undergo the most rigorous and lengthy training program of any outfitter on San Juan Island. In addition to the experience they bring, our guides must spend two full weeks in our own intensive kayak guide school. Most other outfitters in this region spend one to three days at most in preparing their guides. Our web site, www.sea-quest-kayak.com, provides complete information on our sea kayaking trips and why you should choose us to guide your sea kayaking adventure. Our equipment is state-of-the-art expedition quality and is designed for comfort, speed, and stability. People of practically any age can join our trips, including children as young as five years old. Sea Quest Kayak Expeditions offers family kayak vacations, women-only kayak trips, youth kayaking adventures, private custom kayak tours, and an array of dates open for sign up by singles, couples, families and friends. Custom sea kayaking trips can be arranged for groups, such as women only, family reunions, friends from work, and more. Enjoy the excitement and beauty of a sea kayaking adventure for your next vacation - if you've seen one Earth, you've seen them all! ©Sea Quest Kayak Expeditions, All Rights Reserved.
