Half day morning and sunset kayak tours are the perfect choice for those who have very limited time but really want to experience sea kayaking in the San Juan Islands. Half day kayak trips also work well for people who aren’t sure if they will enjoy sea kayaking and want to get a brief first taste of the sport.

We have two choices of half day tour routes from San Juan Island. You can explore either the east side of the island or the west side. The east side is conveniently just a few minutes from Friday Harbor and is best for groups that have the most limited time and /or prefer a very sheltered route. Features include a visit to a National Wildlife Refuge that is home to many dozens of harbor seals, nesting bald eagles and numerous other marine birds.Kayaking with Orcas Whales on a Half Day San Juan Island Kayak Trip

The west side route takes you the best orca whale watching waters in the United States. The launch site is about a half hour drive from Friday Harbor so it does add a bit of time to the tour length. Of course, you won’t mind this if you manage to find and kayak with killer whales!
