SEA KAYAKING RENTALS IN WASHINGTON

Both experienced and beginning sea kayakers can now rent kayaks from the leading kayak tour provider in Washington state. Sea Quest Kayak Tours offers two programs, with both providing superior quality solo and tandem sea kayak rentals.

Beginning kayakers may rent kayaks for exploring the protected bays of San Juan Island. The sheltered bays harbor hundreds of seals, marine birds, otter dens and active bald eagle nests. Porpoises and whales are frequently seen cruising the margins these safe paddling locations. The most popular bay for beginner kayak rentals includes the beaches of a National Historical Park and islets of a National Wildlife Refuge. The stunning background includes other islands and snow-capped peaks including Komo Kulshan – the Mount Baker Volcano.

Experienced kayakers are able to navigate the entire San Juan Archipelago with our expedition-grade rental kayaks. In order to qualify for an advance kayak rental, you must have significant experience, know how to (and have practiced) kayak self-rescues, and understand the dynamics of large tides, strong currents, and quickly changing maritime weather. Once you leave the protection of the bays, our kayaking conditions in the San Juan Islands of Washington are inherently more difficult than in other parts of the United States. To get approval for an advanced kayak rental you must submit an application. Please read our eligibility requirements for advanced kayak rentals in the San Juan Islands of Washington state.
