We did the 3-hour tour launching from Doe Bay and had a wonderful time. Neither my wife nor I are experienced kayakers, but we were easily able to keep up with the pace and enjoy the beautiful scenery and wildlife.

Our family had a wonderful time experiencing sea kayaking for the first time. Our guide, Nate, was patient, kind and extremely informative on our tour. This was our first visit to Orcas Island and we hope it won't be the last.

We loved our sunset paddle on Orcas! We had an excellent guide who got us comfortable in out kayaks and did a great job of helping us spot porpoise, seals, a bald eagle and star fish. It was absolutely gorgeous on the water!

Our experience with Shearwater Kayak Tours was flawless. Our guide, Blake, was very friendly and clear with his explanations on safety and technique. We enjoyed every minute of our three hour tour of the Doe Bay. Keep up the great work!

Jenna was a fantastic guide, she made the trip exciting and informative and accommodated a very large range of ages in the group trip (8-54). Not easy! We will definitely return next summer for another Kayak Tour with Shearwater.
