Why Choose Us?I highly recommend Outdoor Odysseys. The Whale Museum has contracted with Clark Casebolt of Outdoor Odysseys for a variety of sea kayak programs in the past 10 years. Many of the guides on the cooperative trips were Museum-trained in regional natural history which added an important educational aspect to the trip. Albert Shepherd, former curator, The Whale Museum

In an effort to maintain respectful and responsible use of the waters of the San Juan Islands, we uphold the K.E.L.P. (Kayak Education Leadership Program) pledge. Outdoor Odysseys strives to provide an educational and enjoyable paddling experience while adhering to laws pertaining to the Southern Resident Killer Whales.
When in the presence of Orcas we maintain a 100-yard distance, move out of their path, and group our kayaks near shore to allow our marine neighbors the "right-of-way".
Our guides and guests pledge to do their part to minimize disturbance to marine wildlife in the San Juan Marine Stewardship Area.
For more information on K.E.L.P. and efforts to protect marine wildlife in the San Juan Islands visit the Whale Museum and learn what you can do to be a responsible kayaker.
