San Juan Island Kayaking Blog

May 10, 2010

May Sunset Magazine Article on the San Juans

We had a nice mention (and great photo!) in the current May issue of Sunset Magazine. They ran a four page “Insider’s Guide to the San Juan Islands” and we had the good fortune to be mentioned on page 78. (If you look closely the paddler in the back of the kayak is my wife, Libs!)

The photo was taken just as we were leaving San Juan County Park on the West side of San Juan Island. We launch all our 1, 3 and 4 day tours from the county park as it is the best place in the San Juan Islands to see whales.

“To try for an eye-level orca sighting, Outdoor Odysseys is genuinely one of the greatest beginner’s kayaking experiences you’ll find anywhere: Orcas aren’t absolutely guaranteed but are likely.”
