Women-only Kayaking Vacations in the San Juan Islands

Join us for your summer vacation on a women-only kayak tour from San Juan Island. Enjoy the sunny and scenic surroundings the archipelago offers to get outdoors in a safe and supportive environment with like-minded women. Our female guides can take you sea kayaking in the premiere orca whale watching waters, regardless of your experience level. Sea Quest was the first company to offer women kayak trips from San Juan Island, the first outfitter based here to have women guides, and the first to have a woman in the role of expedition director and partner.

So come and experience the best that the San Juan Islands offer: beautiful beaches, remote islands, rugged mountain views, and inspiring sunrises and sunsets. The region boasts the driest summer climate of anywhere in the US so the chance or rain spoiling your vacation is quite low. Excellent weather, abundant whales and wildlife, and hundreds of islands combine to make our women-only tours the ultimate sea kayaking vacation and camping adventure.

Sea Quest has two, three, and five-day women’s kayaking vacations which run regularly. If you can’t find a scheduled trip that works for you, don’t hesitate to let us know what your ideal dates are and we will schedule a custom tour to suit your needs.

We saw plenty of harbor seals, some bald eagles and lots of other wildlife. As a side from reading other reviews: kayaks are not exceptionally heavy and we all carried it down the 40 feet or so as a group. Two men and 2 women, zero trouble. I’m not certain why anyone would book a tour which requires you to be physically active and then be upset when you have to actually be active. Great operator and would absolutely use again. read less
