Join us on an incredible excursion out of the Rosario Marina, part of the historic resort and mansion build by Robert Moran in 1909. From Rosario we will make our way down the coastline to the best wildlife viewing locations in the cascade bay before coming shore in the small town of olga, one of orcas's oldest communities. Here we will stop for lunch at the cafe and browse the local art co-op before boarding our kayaks and setting course back to Rosario.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this kayaking trip?

A: Yes, they usually recommend kids be at least 8 years old for this trip. It’s a full day on the water, and you want to make sure they can handle the kayaking part. Just bring them along if they're adventurous!

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on the day of the kayak tour?

A: They’ll usually monitor the weather closely and might reschedule if conditions aren’t safe. You can contact them the day before to check in. If you need to change your booking, they’re pretty accommodating.

Q: Do you get enough time for lunch in Olga, and what's the food like?

A: Absolutely! You get a nice break to grab lunch in Olga, and the local café has some great options. I had a delicious sandwich and a slice of pie! Just make sure to check the cafe hours.

Just got back from the Cafes and Kayaks trip on Orcas Island!

Wow, what an experience! We started from Rosario Marina, and the views were absolutely stunning. Our guide was super knowledgeable about the local wildlife, and we even spotted a couple of seals! Stopping in Olga for lunch was the highlight — I highly recommend the café’s clam chowder! Can’t wait to do this again next summer.

Considering gifting the Cafes and Kayaks experience

I’m thinking about getting this kayak trip for my partner's birthday. They love the outdoors and have never kayaked before. Is it beginner-friendly? I’m just a little worried about them being new to kayaking.
