Although just one mile south of Friday Harbor, Griffin Bay is a world away from it all! This trip offers peace and quiet and superb views of glacier-covered Mt. Baker and the Olympic Mountain range. Unhindered by strong tidal currents, it is an ideal trip for families and anyone wanting to experience sea kayaking. We will explore picturesque Dinner Island and it’s colony of chubby resident harbor seals, then turn south toward quiet coves. You may see bald eagles, Dall’s or Harbor porpoise, river otters, mink and oodles of migratory sea birds like scoters, harlequin ducks, loons and mergansers along with our local herons, cormorants, gulls and kingfishers! This trip moves at an easy pace and offers a chance to get away from the crowds. Forged in 1980 from leave-no-trace ethics and a commitment to excellence, San Juan Kayak Expeditions provides fun knowledgeable guides, top of the line equipment, including fiberglass kayaks & carbon fiber paddles, and personalized customer service.

This is certainly a beautiful country! In all America, I do not believe that we could have fixed on a situation so completely removed from the stir of society. Nathaniel Greene is a rare and well rounded man eager to participate equally in the wilderness of nature and the wilderness of the mind. His random childhood stories from the islands were a bright spot in our journey outshone only by his extensive knowledge of random ponds in upstate New York. For a rugged naturalist who looks as if he tastes nothing while eating, Nathaniel surprises with his appetizing spreads. A veritable smörgåsbord delighted us at each meal. Our band of merry mouths couldn’t get enough! And did I mention the kayaking? We liked that sport. It’s probably something about the speed which of course can be achieved in biking–albeit with a little more risk of scrapes. Nathaniel likes both kayaking and biking. Unless he is skiing. Which he often is. A perfect misanthropist’s heaven. Nathaniel is just the man to divide the desolation between us. Keep rocking on foam, Nathaniel ????????

I went for a 3-day paddle to Jones and Stuart islands with Caitlyn as my guide. SJKE was very accommodating from start to finish and provided wonderful meals and gear for me to set me up for success. Cole and Topher were very generous and made sure we had what we needed and that our trip went smoothly. Caitlyn is a wonderful guide who has an obvious love for the islands that shines through everything she does. It is clear that her passion for the islands translates into a thorough commitment to safety and enjoyment on the water. She has great knowledge about the ecosystem, topography, and culture of the area and is well-oriented to the bioregion. She knows how to navigate the waters with wisdom and experience. She is committed to the safety of her guests and I always felt comfortable with her guidance. The trip was difficult at times but she was very encouraging and her love for the islands was infectious and motivated me to keep going. We saw so many seals, kelp forests, seabirds, porpoises, eagles, mouflon sheep, and other amazing forms of life. Thank you SJKE!
