Kayak Rentals
Outer Island Excursions offers three kayak tours to suit all skill levels and interests. With options for absolute beginners or experienced kayakers we offer guided exploration with experienced naturalists in tandem kayaks with PFDs, paddles, dry bags, and bilge pumps. Learn about the local ecosystem while interacting with otters, minks, seals, porpoises, sea birds, eagles and more.
For those who would like to do unguided exploration, rentals are offered in 1/2 day, 24 hour, 3 day, and full week increments. All rentals are equipped with PFDs, paddles, dry bags, and bilge pumps. Kayaks can be delivered to residences and launch points on Orcas Island with advanced notice. For passengers on our Sucia Ferry, Outer Island offers complimentary delivery service to Sucia for rentals.
Recommended attire is athletic gear that you don't mind getting wet, shoes that can get wet, hats and sunglasses and sun protection. Water and a small snack are also welcome on tours!

For an intermediate level experience you can take our water taxi to Sucia Island and paddle unguided in Sucia’s large and well protected bays. Other popular kayaking locations on Orcas Island include Mountain Lake in Moran State Park, Eastsound, or Deer Harbor.
