Quick Details
Watch the sun set over Orcas Island
We launch from a dock in the early evening and spend 2+ hours paddling through the Wasp Islands. Harbor seals and bald eagles are common sightings. After exploring the area we watch the sunset from the kayaks before heading back to the harbor at dusk. A perfect way to end a day on the island.
Shearwater provides 2-person kayaks, all necessary kayaking gear, dry storage bags, basic instruction and guide service. Expect 2 ½ hours on the water after instruction and gear adjustment. We launch from a marina dock so feet and shoes stay dry.
No kayaking experience is necessary. However, this is a physical activity and all participants should be prepared to paddle for 2+ hours.
