Anacortes Kayak Tours

My family of 4 did the 3-hour, 4:30 PM kayak tour of out Anacortes, and it was beautiful! Our guide Ryan was fantastic. Easy-going, knowledgeable, and very attuned to the water throughout the trip, so that he could ensure we didn't get into any spots that could cause issues.nnAs far as logistics....they provide a covering so that water doesn't splash onto your legs and feet (though of course you have to be prepared for some possible water), which is very nice, as we didn't have that on a different recent kayak rental elsewhere. From our prior experience, I'd learned to bring a small backpack with water and a snack, chapstick etc. but to bring a small plastic bag (I just used a trash bag) to avoid the backpack getting wet on the bottom of the kayak...though in this case, while nice for peace of mind, wasn't totally necessary due to the covering they provided. The life vest had a chest zippered pocket which I used to put my phone in (in a baggie) which was perfect for having handy for photos. (The camera will get wet/smudged so it was helpful to also have a couple tissues to wipe it clean with.)nnAll in all, it was a beautiful day out on the water and learning some things from Ryan along the way. I would have never dared go where we did on our own due to our limited open-water experience, so this was a great way to go. The owner answered the phone when I'd originally called to inquire about best reservation times/currents for a family with kids, and she was so helpful and friendly, as well as when we checked in for our kayak tour. We'd definitely do another tour with this company again, and recommend them!

We did the quickie and I would say it was super fun! But short- honestly expected to see more. But despite that we saw a porpoise and a star fish and were taught about bulb kelp. Recommend the 11 tour so you miss the morning cloud/fog. The kayaks are like tandem sea kayaks so they’re legit. It’s a fun way to get on the water for sure.

This is the third time I have been on a kayak tour with KT. They are OUTSTANDING. I took my 6 year old grandson, Declan, and his Mom. Sam was our guide and we were on a 3 hour tour. Sam was outstanding. He explained the fundamentals of kayaking, how to wear the life vest t and spray skirt, and the currents and safety procedures very clearly. He talked about the animals we saw to include porpoises, seals, birds, and other fish. We visited an island, and had a wonderful tour of the bay. Sam was an outstanding guide. I highly recommend AKT for their professionalism, safety orientation, and having a wonderful time in a nature type environment!

Amazing and Incredible experience. They had all the gear and such a wonderful guide and just made the trip so wonderful. They knew all the great places to go and had all the gear and knowledge to get us there safely even during COVID! This trip was amazing for me son during this difficult time and I am so thankful that they were still running and running safely during this tough time. I can't wait to go again!

We were able to create our own experience with our amazing guide(Ryan!). The paddling was so much fun for our group, and the food was amazing. We camped at some beautiful spots on the islands, and had some time to relax and do some hiking. We saw lots of wildlife, and beautiful sunsets. The weather was perfect and we were very well taken care of. I think we will be making this an annual event. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would!
