One of the number questions we get is, “what are my chances of seeing whales?” To which we are very honest, letting our guests know it is possible, but is a matter of luck and timing! We had 3 different tours get lucky yesterday! #orcas #wildanimals #lucky #anacortes #kayak #tours #marinemammals #transientorcas #biggswhales

We are fortunate to see a wide array of wild animals on our tours. The Salish Sea is a wonder of wildness despite the large population of humans living in our watershed. This is a Ochre Sea Star, commonly known as a Purple Sea Star. This is Shelem pointing one out on a tour.

Last week, seasoned guides, @leo_alopez and @liamrnelson paddled from Anacortes to Friday Harbor via the Southern end of Lopez Island. There timing allowed them to use the currants to their advantage, and they caught some waves in the Cattle Pass area. All in all a good long day of a safe and fun adventure. Thanks for sharing your photos @leo_alopez

Gabe and Liam sending it off a cliff in Deception Pass, while they wait for the wind to come up to surf… sadly the wind didn’t come up for surfing, but they got some adrenaline rush with cliff jumping! #surfing #deceptionpass #guidelife #training #learning #outdoorclassroom #dreamteam #adventuretime #akt #anacortes #kayak #tours

We run 2-day, 3-day, 4-day, and 5-day trips all over the San Juan Islands. Kayaks hold more than a backpack, but less gear than if you were car camping. This is an example of what you would need on a kayak trip if you booked a fully catered tour where AKT provides the delicious food. #packing #multiday #kayaking #camping #camplife #kayakcamping #organized #AKT
We often see Bald Eagles on our sea kayak tours. This short clip is a couple of sea gulls harassing a Bald Eagle. 🦅 If you love birds, sea kayaking is a wonderful venue to view them in wildlife! #baldeagles #seagulls #seabirds #salishsea #sanjuanislands #birdnerd #natureandsh*t #seakayaking #anacortes #kayak #tours
Harbor Seals are very curious and friendly! These beautiful marine mammals are very prevalent in the Salish Sea!

Morning vibes from Pelican Beach. @quinn.burdick took this video on his last 5-day 1-way from San Juan Island to Anacortes! Quinn and his guests also had the fine fortunate seeing Orcas from the beach too! It was an eventful trip filled with a little smoke, a little rain, a little lightening, and Orca sighting! Nature is so neat! #pelicanbeach #cypressislandpreserve #sanjuanislands #5day #morningvibes #kayaklife #camplife #natureisneat #natureandsh*t #beach #beauitful #magicofskagit #anacortes #kayak #tours

Harbor Seals are so curious, and over the years seal pups have made it habit to crawl on our kayaks. @definitelynothoid recorded this while preparing for a 3 hour tour recently. #harborseal #curious #brave #marinemammals #anacortes #washingtonstate #seakayaking
We are running sunset and Bioluminescence trips through July 23rd! Call for details!
@liamrnelson demonstrating a Butterfly Roll! Thanks @ben_k_ for the underwater footage!
These boys are out on a 3-day to Cypress right now and had some time between paddling and cooking to practice some rolls!
