Discounts on May Tours-Kayaking, Mountain Biking, Rafting

Sunshine, wildlife, wildflowers, spectacular views and solitude, Spring is one of the best times to visit and recreate on the Olympic Peninsula. Seeing seal pups basking and immature bald eagles gliding while kayaking through flowing kelp forests are signs that the paddling season is finally here.

On the bike trails, trilliums, wild currants and fairy slippers are just a few wildflowers bringing color to the greenery of ferns and firs. The trails are in excellent condition and just waiting for you to hop on a bike and go for a ride.

In celebrating Spring and the joy of adventuring before the crowds show up, we would like to give you a 10% discount on any half day tour with two or more people. This discount is available for kayak tours, mountain bike tours, and raft tours. Adventures Through Kayaking is your all inclusive source for adventuring near Olympic National Park, Port Angeles, WA.

Whale Sightings!

While out on one of our kayaking tours we were lucky enough to spot four gray whales. The kayak tour began at Freshwater Bay, went to Salt Creek Recreation Area and back, seems the greys have begun their migration back to northern waters. We are lucky in the Port Angeles area to have individuals and small groups, usually a female with calf in tow coming into the Strait of Juan de Fuca finding food. On the same kayak tour, we also spotted a number of bald eagles; they were high on their perches watching us from above.


While Olympic National Park's Hurricane Ridge is continuing to get loads of snow, recreating in the lowlands has made for some great paddling. It's time to get the kayaks dusted off, as the kayaking and touring season is upon us. We at Adventures Through Kayaking look forward to paddling the Washington Coast with you!
