Our trip was unbelievable. Our guide, Nate, was extremely knowledgable about not only the wildlife we were going to see, but also the culture and history of the island itself. They were all very conscientious of what we would need – providing all the necessary equipment to ensure that we stayed (reasonably) dry. Very professional throughout, without coming across as...

Ok, so everyone knows how beautiful the sound is, how awesome it is to see the marine life, how ultimately cool it is to tour by your own power on the water. Let me tell you that this company is THE way to do it: DSK provided all the camping and kayaking gear; we really only needed exactly what was... More

This island is amazing...and what's more adequate than discovering it from a kayak? The tour was really nice: we were lucky to see deers, purpoises, sea lions and seals...plus we had great views on Olympics, the island coast and even Rainier! Wonderful tour and friendly guide.

I visited Friday Harbor with my girlfriend for the first time in April and found Discovery Sea Kayaks when walking the unique streets in Friday Harbor as their location is very convenient. Richard and Jason (owner and office manager) were extremely knowledgeable about what activities to do during our 3 day stay there (make sure to ask them how to... More

Discovery Sea Kayaks provided us with a great afternoon of kayaking. Jason was our guide for the trip. Couldn't have been more impressed with his professionalism and knowledge of his trade. When we visit again we will do a longer trip and hopefully have him as our guide again.

Decided to go to Friday Harbor for 2 days during Spring Break. Booked a tour with Discovery over the telephone. The owner was very helpful over the telephone and explained what to expect and sent a follow-up email with many details. He was helpful in directing us to the local grocery store for snacks for the trip and was very... More

We did a half-day tour on the Friday before Labor Day and had an awesome time. We saw about 40 Orcas and a few were only about 30 feet away, which was amazing. It's also very peaceful to paddle and enjoy the scenery. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made us feel safe, which was important to me. Would recommend... More

After we botched the ferry times and realized we were going to miss our tour, we called Discovery to explain the situation. They were very flexible and agreed to move our half-day kayaking reservation to the following morning, offering several options and ensuring a guide came in just for us at no extra cost. Upon arrival the next morning the... More
