Fun exploring Puget Sound - We had a good time, so much fun! Blaine was a great guide both in navigating the sound and in sharing both history and current details of the area. We enjoyed seeing all the seals and were fortunate enough to also see a great blue heron and a bald eagle. Definitely recommend this tour!

Sea Lions everywhere! - What a treat! We kayaked amongst sea lions, seal pups, and starfish were showing near the pilings (by the business). Lindsay was a friendly, kind, and helpful tour leader. I have already recommended this fantastic trip to others. All abilities will have a great time!

Great Experience Kayaking through the Locks - We had a great time! We did the Locks Tour and despite being locals, learned a ton about the area, tides, marine life, etc. The guides were helpful, funny, friendly, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for visitors to the region as we saw seals, Heron, Osprey, etc. Also recommend for locals who want to go through the locks in a small craft!
