At peak current at over 8 knots (9.5 mph) almost 900 million gallons of water pour through Deception Pass. That’s 50 times more flow that all the rivers in the Puget Sound. You can see why there is a 4.5 foot height difference in the water level from one side of the pass to the other! But don’t worry, the boat is equipped with latest safety equipment. Captain Brett and crew will ensure safe passage and an entertaining time for all! The Island Whaler is a New Zealand designed jet drive catamaran. The catamaran style and foil assist ensures a soft and stable ride in any conditions. The open deck seating will give you the best 360° viewing opportunity and interaction with the surrounding elements.

Inclusions: Narrated Tour Aboard The Island Whaler Jet Catamaran

Exclusions: WA State Discovery Pass Parking Fee $10

No experience is necessary to join this professionally guided kayak trip. Bowman Bay is the perfect place for beginners to feel comfortable paddling on the sea. It offers beautiful scenery and lots of wildlife to seek out. Although this trip is conducted in Deception Pass State Park we avoid the turbulent water near the bridge which is more suitable for expert kayakers. If you plan to visit Deception Pass State Park then don't miss this wonderful opportunity to see it from the unique perspective of a sea kayak!

Inclusions: All paddling gear is provided, includes paddle, tandem kayak, and life jacket.

Exclusions: Parking Fees, Bottled water, Snacks, Please bring water compatible shoes and clothing to match the weather.

We've travel to other countries and the U.S., always found the trips to be more enjoyable with a local driver/guide. Large groups on tour busses suck. With Cheryl, we were treated like family, (the ones she loves). I highly recommend booking her services which will lead to a wonderful, memorable experience. We still keep in touch with her 3 years later from our home in Florida.
