What you'll learn:

- Boat Control Skills
- Paddling Strokes
- Self & Assisted Rescues
- TRAK Product Mastery
- Various aspects of Seamanship. i.e. weather, navigation, tides, and chart reading etc.

What we're going to do:

Set off with your boat and expedition gear from Anacortes to Friday Harbor via Washington State ferry and then weave your way back over the remaining paddling days. The ferry ride allows you to soak in breathtaking views of the surrounding waters and rugged coastline that we'll be exploring up close and personal in the days ahead.

Once you arrive in Friday Harbor, your kayak adventure truly begins. We will hitch a ride to San Juan County Park to start our paddling journey. From there, paddling back toward Anacortes, you will navigate through a labyrinth of islands, each offering its own unique landscapes and ecosystems. Multiple route options and calmer summer weather water make this expedition suitable for advanced beginner/intermediate paddlers. More advanced paddlers will find suitable challenges in the big tidal exchanges that happen in the tight island channels. 

Both on and off the water, you will have the opportunity to explore secluded beaches, hidden coves, and spot the diverse flora and fauna that call these islands home.

Throughout the journey, Body Boat Blade’s experienced guides will provide skills coaching and opportunities to develop your personal skills. They will offer insights into the area’s natural history and cultural significance, enhancing your appreciation of this remarkable region. This expedition promises not only an exploration of stunning waterways but also an opportunity to create lasting memories amidst the breathtaking beauty of the San Juan Islands.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Are TRAK Kayaks designed for air travel?

Yes! Our latest model, the TRAK 2.0, packs into a rolling travel bag specially designed to meet airline requirement for check luggage. For recommended best practices for flying with a TRAK folding kayak, visit this page.

Are my flights included in the price?

Your transportation to and from the starting location is not included in the trip price. For more information about flights and logistics, contact our team.

Do I have to sleep in a tent?

Not if you don't want to. Each TRAK trip is uniquely tailored for paddlers based on their comfort zones. Some trips are designed for paddlers with lots of experience and personal camping gear, while others are designed for paddlers who prefer to base camp from a fixed roof accommodation.

Do I have to get wet?

Not if you don't want to! While our instructors are often happy to teach skills around wet exits, reentries, and rescues, you are not required to do so.
