Itinerary

Meeting Place

260 Spring St. Friday Harbor, Wa 98250 (Office)_

Friday Harbor, Washington State

Meet and greet at the office on the morning of departure. The rest is all kayaking and camping.

Day 1:

7:45 AM Check-in at the office for meet and greet. Guides will go over the route and give updates on the weather and water conditions expected for the tour. Once at the beach we pack up the kayaks and head out for the day. Mid-day we will stop for a beach lunch then head to our camping destination.

Day 2:

This is an open day that we plan for either another big paddle to another island or choose to basecamp on the same island and do a smaller day paddle. Group discussion the night before to nail down the day 2 paddle plan. None the less there will be adventure and kayaking.

Day 3:

This is the final day of the adventure. We try to get back to the office in town by 2:30 PM, as this allows time for those catching the ferry. We can run late so please do not make tight travel plans. You can expect a nice full day of paddling.
