We offer a variety of kayak tours for beginner and intermediate explorers. Tour sizes are usually small and intimate, but we welcome large groups too!
Experienced and friendly guides choose the best course for that day, so you may be treated to panoramic views of the Cascade Mountains - from Baker to Rainer and all the peaks between, or you may get to see Langley, the Village-By-The-Sea.
Activities just for night owls: bioluminescent experiences or try paddling by the full moon!
With the goal of providing a greater range of outdoor experiences for area residents and guests along the Whidbey Island coastline, long-time local guided tour and full-service rental company Whidbey Island Kayaking today announced the expansion of a new base of operations.
“We’re excited to be able to take sea kayakers and beach hikers to the best of what our home island offers,” explains co-owner Krista Loercher. “In addition to the loop tours and oceanside walks we’ve always done, we can now shuttle people to select put-in or take-out points to enjoy favorable tides and wind conditions. Our new centrally located headquarters in Bayview also gives us more room so we can expand key services such as paddlecraft repair, consignment sales of used gear and kayak storage.”
“Whidbey Island—and the entire Salish Sea—is a globally unique treasure much loved by those of us who live here year-round and visitors alike. This ecosystem is something to nurture, respect and hold in the highest value,” Loercher continues. “We see a big part of our job as improving access and helping more people get closer to what makes this island and area unique. We’re big on collaboration with other local businesses and community organizations, and by working together, we can use our collective insight and experiences to gain new insights into our everyday lives and the greater world around us.”
Whidbey Island Kayaking focuses on helping people nurture their nature, creating meaningful memories for themselves and their loved ones. Through outdoor engagement and experiential learning, Whidbey Island Kayaking welcomes people of all ages and abilities to learn about Whidbey’s unique identity through fun, safe and active experiences. Mindful engagement, authentic participation and active learning are top priorities.
