We had a fantastic time and want to do it again! - Our guide, Emma, was GREAT! She was super knowledgable and pointed out all kinds of interesting things while we were kayaking. She even showed us some seaweed that we stopped to much on right out of the water. We got see all kinds of sea animals/birds and we just plain had a great time. I would highly recommend Emma and Anacortes Kakak tours.

AKT is a must do! - Saw other great reviews so I made reservations for my mom and I. Shelem was our tour guide. I am writing this review not even an hour after we finished because I want to share our experience. Shelem did his regular speech of information but he is very personable and so full of knowledge. Being on the ocean in a kayak was a first for me and my mom, who is 70. Yes, get out and try new things. The beauty and awe of being such a small thing in the ocean is humbling. As we went along the tour, Shelem provided an abundance of information on wildlife both land and aquatic, fauna, and environmental workings. He made the tour interesting and fun. We saw seals, porpoises and bald eagles. Please keep in mind, wildlife have their own minds and may not always show up. The paddling is tranquil but can also be exciting going into some of the areas as you traverse through some of the choppier waters. Shelem stayed on top of everything, giving excellent instructions and navigation tips. I cannot recommend this tour enough. I also got some great locations to get photos of wildlife from Shelem. Thanks for the memories with my mom. Great tour!

WHALES, SEALS, PERFECT SUNDAY! - We did the 3 hour tour on sunday with Shelem and we were stunned!!! The wildlife we have seen was so beautiful - seals, bald eagle and even a humpback whale in the distance. Our guide Shelem was amazing, he provided us a lot of interesting information about the currents, kayaking and the wildlife. 10/10 ! We will be back! Hugo & Sarah

We loved the tour! - We had a great time kayaking with our tour guide, Emma. The views were spectacular and we were able to see several different types of marine life. I would recommend this tour to see the San Juan islands from a kayak.

An amazing Kayaking experience with the perfect guide. - My wife has always wanted to Kayak near the San Juan Islands in hopes to see Orca. Anacortes Kayak Tours came highly recommended. We were a little tentative about kayaking in the open waters of the bay since we are seniors and have only kayaked on a fresh water lake before. All our concerns were quickly put at ease by our tour guide, Cora. She was not only very knowledgeable about kayaking and the history of the Islands, but she was such a down to earth person with who we shared stories about everything on our trip. I feel, not only, that Cora was the perfect guide but also like we made a friend. I highly recommend Anacortes Kayak Tours, and ask for Cora but I'm certain all the guides share the same professionalism.

Great trip with excellent guide Shelem - My wife and I, plus 2 female friends, shared a pair of double kayaks, on a 3-hour paddle with 2 other customers and our guide Shelem. The day was somewhat cool and cloudy but it didn’t rain on us and the trip was just perfect. Shelem was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the local plant and animal life. It turned out that he had also worked at a restaurant we knew back in Ohio so we had that bit of common bond. The entire experience was just wonderful.
