Sea Kayaking on the Puget Sound | Voyages
The Sea Kayaking trip will not be offered for the 2023 Voyage season.
Attention: Voyages headquarters (the Milky Way building) is being remodeled and unanticipated delays in construction are affecting our ability to operate at full capacity. In result, we are offering a limited number of Voyage trips in 2023.
When Voyage registration reaches capacity, we still encourage you to sign-up and you'll be placed on a waitlist. You will be contacted throughout the summer if space becomes available.
Voyage 2023 Trips Offered: Backpacking, Rafting, and Local Adventure.
Spend five days paddling through one of the most breathtaking areas in Washington state. Revel in the beauty of the Northwest through the eyes of a kayaker. Enjoy paddling the tidal waters around the South Puget Sound, exploring some of its island trails, and sharing the camp experience with new friends.
This trip is designed for first-time paddlers and experienced paddlers alike who are looking for an adventure.
Note: Sea kayaking in Puget Sound involves paddling through tidal currents and long water crossings. This trip is not for everyone, and is more physically demanding than other Voyages. Please consider another Voyage if you're looking for something that requires less physical stamina. Also, please see our Essential Eligibility Criteria detailing the minimum abilities required for specific Voyage activities.
