Ballard Locks Tour

$72

3.5 hours

The Ballard Locks is the second most visited tourist attraction in Seattle. Instead of going TO IT, go THROUGH IT! Our guides will paddle you through Ballard's scenic Shilshole Bay, where you will likely see multiple seals, sea lions, osprey and great blue herons.

You will then enter the historic Hiram M. Chittenden (Ballard) Locks*. As the 30 ton gates of the "water elevator" shut behind you, you can look up to see that all of the tourists watching with envy as you gently rise to Lake Union's water level. Then off through the ship canal, home to Seattle's largest mega yachts and some of the infamous Deadliest Catch boats. We end this trip by heading back through the Locks to Shilshole Bay Marina to lazily sit on the beach and watch the day pass (optional).

*Please note we do not have control over the locks schedule, and cannot guarantee we get through them. Either way, we will enjoy the wildlife and the company!

2-hour Sound Tour

The Puget Sound was created when the area's glaciers began their retreat about 14,000 years ago, leaving behind intricate patterns of islands, inlets, lakes and shorelines. Today, the Puget Sound is home to thousands of creatures, from orcas and sea lions to sea anemones and sand dollars. Enjoy the rich ecosystem of the Puget Sound on this two hour kayaking tour. This is a great chance to see seals, sea lions, great blue herons and more. The route of the tour will vary based on recent sightings of local wildlife, wind and currents. Whether you want to drift among the bull kelp or paddle hard along the shore, this tour is for you.
