Departing during the early evening, sunset sea kayaking tours are perfect for guests who have accommodations on the islands or reside nearby. These spectacular tours begin by embracing the beautiful early evening weather and end savoring the tranquility and romance of some of the most breathtaking sunsets you may ever see.
At the launch site, Crystal Seas Kayaking will familiarize you and provide you with the equipment necessary for sea kayaking and give you an informative kayak/safety lesson. Once everyone is comfortable and ready to launch, you will depart on the first leg of the five to six-mile round trip paddle along the beautiful coastline of San Juan Island's "West Side”. With the magnificent mountains of Washington's Olympic Peninsula and British Columbia's Vancouver Island in your view, paddle by vivacious kelp forests and evergreen covered terrain. Half way through the trip, take a brief floating break and then begin the trip back watching the path of the setting sun.
Examples of some commonly seen flora and fauna: Bald Eagles, Pacific Harbor Seals, Orcas (Killer Whales), Dall's Porpoises, Great Blue Herons, Ochre Sea Stars, Pacific Madrones, Douglas-firs and forests of Bull Kelp.
