What Makes It Fun

imageA little known fact is that Colorado, Utah and Wyoming offer some of the best canoeing and sea kayaking in the world through their towering canyons in the Colorado Plateau.  It’s not about big rapids, but rather the freedom and exhilaration that comes from exploring and/or camping overnight in a remote area, the experienced guides, the mix of fun people we attract and the bonds that develop, excellent food, the evening campfire, and the splendor and serenity of a magnificent river landscape.

Near Fruita, CO, a typical Colorado River sea kayak or canoe trip is 2 to 3 days and averages 12 to 16 people (2 people per boat) and 2 guides. On this canyon-encased Colorado canoeing trip or Colorado sea kayaking trip, safety is always our main focus and we have a guide paddling at the front and back of the group. We tie personal and group gear in the center of the canoes and head down river. On sea kayak trips, a motorized support raft will haul the gear allowing you to carry just a daypack and your camera in your boat. At our campsite or along the way, there’s an opportunity to explore wilderness canyons, relax or play in the river. And on multi-day trips, we have the luxury of camping along the river’s shore.

imageMeeting in Friday Harbor, WA, a typical San Juan Island sea kayak trip is 3 or 4 days and averages 12 people (2 people per sea kayak) and 2 guides. We also offer customized 5-day trips for private groups of 6 people or more.

At the conclusion of your trip you will be dropped off at the ferry terminal in downtown Friday Harbor.

Personal Hygiene

Each island that we visit will have an enclosed pit toilet system much like you would find in a state park. Please bring biodegradable soap and a towel for bathing in the ocean. The ocean water is crystal clear, cool and refreshing and does not contain high amounts of salt, so itching is not a problem. You may choose to bring a solar shower bag. Running water is also found in the areas where we camp.

Meals

imageBreakfasts are served with fresh fruit and include home-style hash browns and eggs, French toast, blueberry or apple pancakes, as well as hot and cold cereals. Breakfasts are always washed down with good cups of steaming hot coffee and quality teas.

Lunches include deli-type turkey sandwiches, Mexican bean salad, tabouli, hummus and bagels with cream cheese replete with our special spread. Lunches always include fresh vegetables and fruit as well as cookies or some other Northwest treat. Plenty of energy food such as gorp, peanuts, raisins, and M&M’s will also be on hand. You won’t go hungry!

For dinner, you can look forward to expert Dutch oven cooking that consists of smoked salmon pesto linguini with sun dried tomatoes and Kalamata olives, a spicy Thai stir fry with our specially made peanut sauce, freshly made spinach lasagna and a layered chile relleno casserole. Desserts include pear/apple crisp, gingerbread topped with freshly made whipped cream and seasonal fruits such as nectarines or fresh pineapple dipped in a rich, bubbly chocolate fondue.

imageA little known fact is that Colorado, Utah and Wyoming offer some of the best canoeing in the world through their towering canyons in the Colorado Plateau.  It’s not about big rapids, but rather the freedom and exhilaration that comes from exploring and/or camping overnight in a remote area, the experienced guides, the mix of fun people we attract and the bonds that develop, excellent food, the evening campfire, and the splendor and serenity of a magnificent river landscape.

Near Grand Junction & Delta, CO, a typical Gunnison River canoe trip is 1 to 5 days and averages 12 to 16 people (2 people per canoe) and 2 guides. On this canyon-encased Colorado canoeing trip, safety is always our main focus and we have a guide paddling at the front and back of the group. We tie personal and group gear in the center of the canoes and head down river. At our campsite or along the way, there’s an opportunity to explore wilderness canyons, relax or play in the river. And on multi-day trips, we have the luxury of camping along the river’s shore.

San Juan Islands

Trip Details

imageMeeting in Friday Harbor, WA, a typical San Juan Island sea kayak trip is 3 or 4 days and averages 12 people (2 people per sea kayak) and 2 guides. We also offer customized 5-day trips for private groups of 6 people or more. On this ocean sea kayaking trip, safety is always our main focus and we have a guide paddling at the front and back of the group. Personal and group gear will be stored in the boats, so packing lightly is appreciated. At our campsite, there’s an opportunity to explore the islands, usually on groomed trails. Your guide will be knowledgeable about marine life and the environment so your questions are welcomed. The guides also double as outstanding cooks. At the conclusion of your trip you will be dropped off at the ferry terminal in downtown Friday Harbor.

Personal Hygiene

Each island that we visit will have an enclosed pit toilet system much like you would find in a state park. Please bring biodegradable soap and a towel for bathing in the ocean. The ocean water is crystal clear, cool and refreshing and does not contain high amounts of salt, so itching is not a problem. You may choose to bring a solar shower bag. Running water is also found in the areas where we camp.

Meals

imageBreakfasts are served with fresh fruit and include home-style hash browns and eggs, French toast, blueberry or apple pancakes, as well as hot and cold cereals. Breakfasts are always washed down with good cups of steaming hot coffee and quality teas.

Lunches include deli-type turkey sandwiches, Mexican bean salad, tabouli, hummus and bagels with cream cheese replete with our special spread. Lunches always include fresh vegetables and fruit as well as cookies or some other Northwest treat. Plenty of energy food such as gorp, peanuts, raisins, and M&M’s will also be on hand. You won’t go hungry!

For dinner, you can look forward to expert Dutch oven cooking that consists of smoked salmon pesto linguini with sun dried tomatoes and Kalamata olives, a spicy Thai stir fry with our specially made peanut sauce, freshly made spinach lasagna and a layered chile relleno casserole. Desserts include pear/apple crisp, gingerbread topped with freshly made whipped cream and seasonal fruits such as nectarines or fresh pineapple dipped in a rich, bubbly chocolate fondue.

Safety & Paddle Instructions

No previous sea kayaking experience is necessary. Basic paddle strokes and safety procedures will be taught the first morning at the put-in and thereafter as needed.

Personal Hygiene

Each island that we visit will have an enclosed pit toilet system much like you would find in a state park. Please bring biodegradable soap and a towel for bathing in the ocean.

Desserts include pear/apple crisp, gingerbread topped with freshly made whipped cream and seasonal fruits such as nectarines or fresh pineapple dipped in a rich, bubbly chocolate fondue.

On this canyon-encased Utah canoeing trip, safety is always our main focus and we have a guide paddling at the front and back of the group. We tie personal and group gear in the center of the canoes and head down river. At our campsite or along the way, there’s an opportunity to explore wilderness canyons. And on multi-day trips, we have the luxury of camping along the river’s shore.

Personal Hygiene

image We provide an enclosed portable bathroom facility on all trips because we understand that personal comfort and privacy are important in the backcountry. Your guides will make every effort to make you feel at home. The river provides a great opportunity for bathing after a long day on the river. Please bring your biodegradable soap and towel.

Meals

image On multi-day trips, feast on shrimp hors d’oeuvres, wine and cheese after setting up camp in the afternoon. A varied menu may include salmon fillets, barbequed ribs, fresh salad, rice and pie for dinner. If you have special dietary needs, we encourage you to bring the foods that you require in a cooler and we will be glad to cook them for you. On the 1-day trips, the lunch may include appetizers, croissant deli sandwiches, potato salad, fruit and cookies.

Safety & Paddle Instructions

image No previous canoeing or sea kayaking experience is necessary for most of our trips. Basic paddle strokes and safety procedures will be taught the first morning at the river put-in and thereafter as needed. For our more advanced rivers (Dolores and Upper Colorado), we recommend 1 experienced paddler per boat & children be at least 13 years old. If you’d like to book private or group paddling instructions prior to your trip, call:
