San Juan Islands Kayaking, Burrows Island, Washington State

Half Day Sea Kayak Tours


Don't have a lot of time? Well this trip fits well into anyone's schedule. Multiple departure times throughout the day, and a shorter trip length makes it easy to experience a San Juan Islands sea kayaking experience. This trip generally circumnavigates one of the secret gems of the San Juans called Burrows Island.

Burrows Island is essentially uninhabited (there is one cabin, but nobody is ever there), and it is a great place to search for seals, orca whales, eagles and coyotes. Coyotes in the San Juan Islands?! You bet. This is perhaps the only San Juan Island to support a local population of America's most tenacious canine. The waters surrounding Burrows Island boast one of the best spots in Washington State for kayaking with Harbor porpoise. Nearly every trip sees these diminutive cetaceans.

Wildlife, beautiful forest and meadowlands, great views of the rest of the San Juan Islands, and a historic lighthouse make this one of the most popular trips in the Pacific Northwest.

We are also offering a new kayaking trip, the first of its kind in the San Juan Islands:

Full Day Kayak Trips

If a Half-Day kayak trip is not enough, but there just isn't enough time to go with us on a Multi-day kayaking trip , then you're probably a good candidate for our five hour adventure to the small cluster of uninhabited islands in Burrows Bay.

This trip provides abundant opportunities for great wildlife viewing, including perhaps the best area in Washington State for encountering one of the smallest porpoise species in the world, the Harbor porpoise. Seals frequently approach our kayaks, and much of the trip is spent in Rosario Strait along the favored route of the Orca whales.
