    This is one of those businesses that truly deserves more than 5 stars! I came to the area to visit family on an extended vacation, and was very excited for kayaking opportunities on the lakes and coastal shoreline of the Olympic Peninsula. Unfortunately, I was not able to bring my own kayaks here, so I started looking for businesses that might be able to get me on the water. Due to Covid, most kayak tour/rental businesses seem to be closed, but Adventures Through Kayaking has gone above and beyond to ensure that they are able to operate in a way that is safe for employees and customers both. Social distancing guidelines are in place, and they're really going above and beyond to continue to provide outstanding service in spite of this global event. As for the staff, they completely exceeded our expectations, answering all of our questions, calling us back when we needed to change our date, being very helpful in providing us with information on the area, and overall just providing the absolute highest customer service that you could ask for! The company has been around for years, so when it comes to knowing the area, these guys have it down for sure! My partner and I opted to rent one of their tandem 2-person kayaks for the day and brought it out to Crescent Lake. The boat was really nice, the oars were perfect, they provided us with live vests, and basically pointed us on our way. And once it was all said and done, we felt like we'd seen the lake, got some sunshine, and wore ourselves out! It was a blast. Could not have asked for more! While I was there I also asked about the guided trips that they do, and I was extremely impressed with the offerings. Although I actually work as a guide in a different part of the country, I actually found myself giving some thought to returning to Adventures Through Kayaking for a guided trip just to get some more info on the area and have an expert along with me. I know that business is slow right now since not a lot of people are traveling due to Corona, but I cannot stress enough that if you're in the area and have any interest in getting out on the water (the lakes or the ocean, guided or unguided), Adventures Through Kayaking is the business that you want to go through! I came to them expecting good things, but they went above and beyond in all the ways that I could have hoped for. If you're in the area, do yourself a huge favor and give them a call. They're a great resource for information on the area, and are more than able to set you up to make the most of your trip to the Olympic Peninsula! We will be returning again!

    A kayaking adventure in Freshwater Bay

    We had an amazing time on our kayaking tour. Nina was an excellent tour guide, I couldn't recommend her more. We had a beautiful outing to Freshwater bay and were even able to see where the Washington peninsula ends and where Vancouver island begins. Nina also pointed out some sea otters and a starfish during our adventure. She was very knowledgeable and even showed us how to eat seaweed! 10/10 would recommend.

    We had an excellent tour with Nina on the 4th of July! We were fortunate to have crystal clear, calm waters and views to Vancouver Island for our entire tour out in Freshwater Bay. Nina was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and patient with us as we explored the coves and saw some incredible wildlife. I would also note that the whole crew at ATK was super friendly and helpful. They were clearly conscientious about the current pandemic and adjusted their operations accordingly. We felt very safe the whole time and would definitely go on another tour with them next time we're in the area.

    Me and my mom went out on a sunrise sea kayak with Dylan as our guide. It was AMAZING! If you are thinking about going but are a little nervous, do it!! It was the highlight of our trip to the Pacific Northwest. The company is very cautious about COVID 19 and made sure to wear masks at times where physical distancing was not possible. We also were able to follow our trip lead in our own car to the boat put in spot. The sunrise trip is a must for beginner and advanced paddlers alike. The sunrise trip had calm conditions, unmatched views, and TONS of wildlife. We saw so many seals, birds, and sea creatures. I am new to sea kayaking and but have used a recreational kayak many times. Dylan made sure I was able to go on the water with confidence in a longer boat and even taught me how to properly use a rudder. My mom had only ever been paddling one time on a slow river in Wisconsin. To say she was a little nervous would be an understatement. This was WAY out of her comfort zone. Dylan took extra time in the freezing bay water with her just to make sure she felt safe on the water and made sure to stick close to her throughout the paddle. This was a great adventure and Dylan was a great guide. He shared knowledge of sea life, made sure we were safe and was even our photographer.

    This was one of the highlights of our trip to Port Angeles to visit Olympic National Park - I highly recommend! We are beginner level kayakers and had no problem with the half day sea kayaking tour. Our guide was Jake and he was amazing. He was incredibly helpful and made us feel comfortable the whole time. We were amazed by how much wildlife we were able to see up close - we would have never been able to see so much on our own! And Jake taught us so much along the way. We saw river otters, harbor seals, a California sea lion, birds, crabs, starfish, and more! We even tasted bull weed along the way! It truly was so much fun for our family and we can't thank Jake and Adventures Through Kayaking enough for this amazing experience. They have high quality gear so you'll be fully prepared. You have to do it!

    We did the sunrise kayak with Adam and had a wonderful trip. We started the trip after the sun already rose so we weren't sure about that part, otherwise the trip was fantastic. Adam was extremely knowledgeable about kayaking and the area, very kind and helpful as well. We had an absolute blast and found it well worth it.

    My husband and I did the full day adventure trip. I didn't know what to expect at all.. When we got there we got fitted for a wetsuit and booties. Boy, those were helpful and kept us warm as it was 60 degrees! They also gave us the dry bag which allowed me to take lots of pictures!! We seriously had a picturesque day on the water. We had John as our guide and he was great! You take is slow along the caves/cliffs which was super relaxing since kayaking gets very tiresome!! Then we came back to the site and had a sandwich for lunch as it is provided on the full day trip. We had Collin for the biking which was awesome because it was just me and my husband! He was very patient with me learning how to make those lovely switchback turns. The views were amazing, and again, we had perfect weather. Lastly, we drank some of the wine next door!! Bought a bottle to have with dinner :) Thanks to all our guides and those who helped us at the shop. I forgot the girls name, but she was super sweet and patient with us as well :)

The owner, Brandon, was so welcoming and made sure we were comfortable with the bikes and knew exactly where to go before we headed out. We had such a great time exploring the Olympic Discovery Trail! We went with the three hour option and that was the perfect amount of time for us. We can't recommend this enough and would definitely do it again!

    Absolutely the Best Way to Explore Port Angeles - Discovery E-Bikes is a Must!…read more My wife and I spent an unforgettable mid-day riding e-bikes from Discovery E-Bikes, and it was hands down one of the highlights of our trip to Port Angeles. We did a four-hour "river to river" ride--heading east, then west, making scenic stops along the way before heading back into town. The route was stunning and peaceful, and the e-bikes made the whole experience effortless and fun. The bikes themselves were top-quality--smooth, comfortable, and clearly very well maintained. But what really made the experience exceptional was the customer service. Brandon, the owner, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. He shared the personal story behind his business, which made a big impression on us. His passion, care, and attention to detail truly stood out, and it inspired us to want to return in the future just to support his amazing local shop. If you're in Port Angeles and looking for a fun, meaningful way to see the area, Discovery E-Bikes is it. We can't recommend this place enough--thank you, Brandon!

    I took my boyfriend out to Sooke to rent Hobie kayaks and we had a blast!…read more Allen gave us great suggestions about where we should pedal around and thoroughly explained how to use the kayaks. He outfitted us with everything we would need including a banana to snack on! I felt completely safe the entire time even though I'd been nervous going into it and my boyfriend still felt like he'd had an adventure. We're both from the prairies so seeing sea stars, seals, crab, eagles, and even boats was pretty exciting for us. Excellent fun and we plan to do it again!

    My mom and I rented a kayak and went on a guided tour with Allen. It was a wonderful experience!…read moreAllen was informative about the area and shared many stories with us as we peddled around Sooke. The kayaks were comfortable and easy to use.

We saw lots of wildlife including some cute seals that we got really close to! We highly recommend this incredible experience to all adventurers and recommend that you go with a guided tour as you will learn much more and get to see more! Thanks for an awesome time, Allen!
