When & Where:

Few places on earth are more beautiful than the San Juan Islands and there's no better way to experience the area than on a tour with Outer Island Excursions. Choose from two fabulous 3-hour voyages: a guided kayak tour of Point Doughty, leaving from Smuggler's Villa Resort on Orcas Island, or a Whale-Watching excursion that takes you on a plush, comfortable vessel past the San Juans and Canadian Gulf Islands. On the Whale-Watching tour, you'll be on the lookout for humpbacks, gray whales, orcas, minkes and more, but keep your eyes open no matter which tour you take. By kayak, you'll glide down the North Shore of Orcas island to Point Doughty Park, where you'll stop for a gorgeous view from Mt. Baker. Both are likely to encounter local wildlife, including seals, sea lions, otters, porpoises, seabirds and more.

Our Point Doughty Tour leaves from the North end of Orcas Island. No kayak experience is required for this tour and our guides will assist with gear adjustment and basic instruction. We spend about three hours on the water  visiting rugged Point Doughty State Park where  we commonly see harbor seals, porpoises,  sea stars, and bald eagles.

For more experienced paddlers we offer a full day tour of Sucia Island checking in at 9:00 AM where you will be transported to the island on a high-speed powerboat and enjoy a leisurely paddle of this state park. This remote uninhabited state park island is the gem of the San Juans, full of coves and beaches and known for fossils and abundant wildlife. Pack a picnic lunch and water for your excursion that returns to Orcas Island around 5:00 PM  ​
