Kayaking
Guided Tours
Outer Island Expeditions is proud to work with Orcas Island’s finest kayaking outfit Shearwater Kayaking to offer full day kayaking trips around Sucia Island State Park.
Outer Island will shuttle kayakers to Sucia Island via power boat. On the trips over we will stop by prime wildlife viewing locations and explore some of Sucia’s natural history. You and your kayak guide will be dropped off at Sucia Island, a small pristine island located 3 miles off the North shore of Orcas. After a brief lunch break and kayaking lesson you will hop in your kayak for a 2 ½ to 3 hour paddle which includes a stop at a remote beach. You will then be shuttled back to Orcas by power boat.
Sucia is only accessible by private boat. Its remote and undeveloped character make it a haven for wildlife, and its large protected bays, make it a wonderful setting for any kayaker, novice or advanced. Sucia has caves, fossil beds, spectacular sand stone formations, and a wide variety of wildlife. One can encounter bald eagles, osprey, river otters, harbor seals, sea lions, porpoise, and the occasional transient orca whale.
