South Sound Kayak Tours

With over 15 years of experience in the paddlesports industry, we are happy to be offering guided kayak tours in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Our owner and lead guide, Ross, discovered his passion for sea kayaking nearly 25 years ago while living in Alaska. Since that first adventure, kayaking has remained his favorite way to explore the water!

At South Sound Kayak Tours we believe that outdoor experiences are one of the best ways to foster environmental stewardship and conservation. Our kayak tours provide a unique opportunity for people to connect with nature, deepening their appreciation for the environment through the simple joy of paddling!

Our trips are designed to be safe, fun, informative, & accessible. We like to think of every outing as more than just a tour, it's a shared adventure with friends on the water.

About the Olympia Tour: Leaving from the Swantown Marina in downtown Olympia, we'll head out to explore Budd Bay by kayak. Keep watch for seals and sea lions in the harbor, a variety of shorebirds, and take in the spectacular views of the Olympic Mountains! This is a quick and easy way to experience the beauty of South Puget Sound by kayak!
