San Juan Islands Kayaking and Camping

Discover the abundant wildlife and lush landscapes! Get ready for sea kayaking and camping in the San Juan Islands in Washington for women only. As soon as your feet land on San Juan Island, breathe in the clean air. Next, set your watch back to island time. Over the next 5 days, you’ll explore Orcas Island, San Juan Island, and Stuart Island by foot and paddle while enjoying a combination of glamping and traditional camping in the backcountry.

ORCA WHALE WATCHING AND OTHER WILDLIFE SPOTTING

The San Juan Islands are famous for their Orca whales. You bet we’ll set sail to catch a glimpse! You’ll kick off your San Juan Island adventure with a guided whale watching tour at sunset. The archipelago is also home to a wide range of wildlife including bald eagles, harbor seals, river otters, Steller sea lions, common minke whales, and Dall’s porpoise. In the evening, you can head out to the shoreline for some tide pooling.

SAN JUAN ISLAND GAMPING

After meeting your newest adventurous gal pals in Friday Harbor on Day 1, you’ll settle into your glamping digs—a home sweet home for your first two nights. You will be living like a Wilderness Queen! These canvas tents are equipped with all the comforts of home and decks that screams, “Pull up a seat and a cold one.”

GUIDED HIKING AND WINERY VISIT ON ORCAS ISLAND

Orcas Island is the largest of the San Juans, boasting dense greet forests, mountain lakes and endless adventures. After hopping a ferry in the morning, you’ll spend an entire day exploring the island’s best trails including a steep hike to the highest point: Mount Constitution. But the climb will be worth it! Cast your eyes upon the rugged coastlines, expansive ocean views, and snow covered mountains. We’ll even squeeze in time for a picnic lunch and a winery experience.

MULTI-DAY GUIDED SEA KAYAKING ADVENTURE AND BACKCOUNTRY CAMPING

The San Juan Islands offers up some of the best sea kayaking in the world. You’ll spend the last three days backcountry kayaking to, and then exploring, Stuart Island. We’ll load up our two-person kayaks “expedition” style. This means carrying all of our camping gear, food, and personal items required for the next three days. Can you say girl power? Paddling up to 15 miles, we’ll make our way across channels and straits to reach Stuart Island. Here is where we’ll set up our homey primitive camp for the next two nights. Your days will be spent hiking on the island, circumnavigating Stuart, or paddling to other nearby islands.

GOURMET BACKCOUNTRY MEALS INSPIRED BY LOCAL CHEFS

Throughout your entire San Juan Islands trip, you’ll be spoiled with meals inspired by local chefs. Your guides will be cooking up some of the best backcountry meals you’ll ever sink your teeth into—with organic, fresh, and locally sourced ingredients. Cheesecake in the backcountry? YOU deserve it, sister! Oh, and what’s a fancy meal without a wine pairing? Every evening you can take in the sunset with a regional wine or beer in hand. Yes, this is how you #adventurethencocktails.
