Our catered trip includes all the necessary kayaking gear, dry bags for personal gear, kitchen supplies, food and a lovely kayak guide to cook delicious meals throughout the trip.

Our Clark Island kayak overnight trip offers a taste of all the best things about kayak camping in the San Juans. Starting from our private cove on Lummi Island, we'll paddle along stunning coastlines, spotting seals, porpoises, and bald eagles as we go. After a scenic lunch we’ll gear up for the crossing of Rosario Strait to reach Clark Island Marine State Park, where we’ll settle in for the night. The afternoon can be spent exploring the island, or lounging one of the best kept secrets of the San Juans, a white sand beach! You’ll enjoy some delicious meals, complete with a cozy campfire and views of Mt.Baker under the evening sky.

This trip combines breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife, and the perfect balance of exploration and relaxation. It’s the ideal getaway for those looking to connect with nature and create lasting memories.
