Salish Sea Paddle Day Tours
Salish Sea Paddle Day Tours —
The Salish Sea is one of the most spectacular paddling environments in North America — a vast, island-threaded inland sea where tidal currents run fast, wildlife is abundant, and the scenery shifts from ancient rainforest to dramatic tree lined cliffs with every stroke.
We offer private 1-1 and 2-3 person customized tours for surf ski paddlers and stand up paddleboarders who want to experience it the right way: with a knowledgeable local guide, on water that rewards skill and adventure.
Every tour is private and tailored to your ability, goals, and schedule. Whether you’re an experienced surf ski racer looking for big water crossings, or a capable SUP paddler wanting to read tidal currents and explore sea caves, we’ll build a trip around what excites you. We handle the logistics, safety planning, and local knowledge – you bring the stoke.
Salmon Bay Paddle owner Rob Casey is the author of Paddling the Salish Sea 80 Trips from Mountaineers Books.
Olympic Peninsula (Port Angeles, Sequim and Port Townsend area)
Rugged coastline, protected straits, and open crossings along one of Washington’s most wild and remote shores. Ideal for committed paddlers ready to push their range. Must be an intermediate level.
Deception Pass / Anacortes Area (Flat Water and/or Tidal Currents)
One of the most dramatic tidal passages in the Pacific Northwest – powerful currents, towering sandstone walls, and exhilarating conditions that make this a bucket-list run for any paddler. Advanced intermediate level.
