Our exclusive women’s kayak tour offers a tailored adventure ranging from 2 to 5 days, meticulously designed to cater to the unique experiences and preferences of female adventurers. Whether you seek a brief escape or an extended exploration, our tour promises a personalized journey that celebrates the spirit of women in the outdoors.
Embark on a diverse range of routes, each crafted to showcase the natural beauty and marine wonders of the San Juan Islands through the lens of women’s perspectives. While our typical routes are outlined, the exact path of your expedition may vary, ensuring a dynamic and enriching experience tailored to your desires.
There are many routes to choose from but there is no “Set Route” because we believe in being flexible to the needs and safety of our customers given a multitude of factors.
We do generally have a “North” route, guiding you through vital orca whale watching corridors, or venture along the “South” route, immersing yourself in the rich marine biodiversity of the region. Along the way, discover picturesque campsites such as Stuart and Posey Islands State Parks, Jones Island State Park, Point Doughty, Patos Island State Park, and Griffin Bay DNR campsites, where you can indulge in rewarding hikes and exceptional wildlife sightings while fostering connections with fellow female adventurers.
Our tour is characterized by inclusivity, empowerment, and camaraderie, providing a supportive environment for women to challenge themselves, build confidence, and forge lasting friendships. Whether navigating tidal currents or exploring secluded coves, our women’s kayak tour offers an unforgettable journey into the heart of nature’s wonders, curated exclusively for you.
