Description

Our Dosewallips Estuary Tour is one of our most popular guided kayaking adventures. This 3 hour round-trip paddle takes us to the Dosewallips River Estuary at high tide where we transition from salt water, to brackish and then into the fresh water environment in the lower reaches of the Dosewallips River. After some vigorous paddling we will relax and watch the amazing array of year round and seasonal wildlife. Our Biologist or Naturalist Guide will teach you about the wildlife we see and talk about the natural history of the area. The Dosewallips Estuary is one of Washington’s largest intact estuaries and is home to a breeding ground and haul-out area of approximately 100 harbor seals and their pups. Other common wildlife species of the area include bald eagles, blue heron, salmon, river otters, a great variety of migratory waterfowl, and much, much more. If your lucky we’ll spot Brinnon’s herd of Roosevelt Elk grazing on the banks. Gear must be transported to a different launch location for this tour and customers will be expected to help unload and re-load equipment. If you have a disability that hinder your lifting and carrying abilities, please let us know.
