I had been very briefly before with my best friend and I knew I would love to see more of the island. I reserved a pair of bikes online beforehand from Alki Kayak Tours as they are quite literally, right next to the ferry drop off on Alki. When we arrived, the bikes were ready to go and we were able to take off within minutes. We spent a few hours riding around the island, stopping for ice cream and to snag a beer at one of the local breweries. It was such a fun way to take in the beautiful views of downtown Seattle, the bay, the gorgeous homes, and Mt. Rainier. We were about 30 minutes late in returning our rentals and they didn't charge us or even really care and returning the bikes was seamless. I highly recommend this as an activity and would 100% do it again!

The wine tasting was also enjoyable - all 3 wineries made a point to have the owner say hello and welcome us and it was fun to learn about Washington wine and compare it to the usual California wine we typically enjoy. And to top it off the catered dinner was great! We got to linger and enjoy each stop and then got dropped off very close to the ferry so we could head home. What a great time that we will be sure to recommend to others who are visiting Seattle!

Background: we found the Seattle Flying Dragons group online after brainstorming what kind of fun…read moresummertime team building events were available. Felix and Fong were great to work with and were able to fit our group that kept varying in size (from 25 to 12 to 13 on the actual day). Note: They have multiple boats and also have volunteers and other team members that were training to help coach and possibly paddle if needed. So they are ready to accommodate any group size. Day of: parking was easy near the Kenmore Airport and free on the weekends! We easily found the Seattle Flying Dragons crew. They provided each person a life vest and bottle of water, and locked our personal belongings in their shed. We started with some on shore teaching about dragon boat history and the team's background. Then we got into the boat and learned some techniques close to shore. As we paddled (not rowed) our way into Lake Union, we were provided some more technical training and different types of drills. We were never asked to do more than we could physically but were challenged and encouraged. It was such a positive team building exercise. We went by the house boats and all the way to Gasworks before sprinting back to the starting dock. All in all, we felt accomplished and proud of what we could do in an hour. I highly encourage anyone to try this at least one. And no, you dont need to know how to swim. Even though at times we felt like we were about to capsize, it was all fine and safe. Costed: per the instructions on their website we donated $25 per person. They are a 501c3 so it is tax deductible - print the pdf receipt.

It was intimidating at first because I had never tried the sport before and my mind, at the time, was swirling with doubts & hesitations about meeting new people after hearing so much about the infamous "Seattle Freeze." However I knew I had to give it shot and see what dragon boating and, moreover, the seattle freeze were all about! I recall on my first day of practice, despite my uncertainties, I was immediately greeted by several paddlers who were thrilled to see a newbie and did not miss a beat to take me under their tutelage. The first day was tough, as with any new skill, however, it was amazing how fast one can pick up the "stroke" after only a few consistent paddling practices. Today, I can confidently say that I have met some of my closest friends through dragon boating, not to mention the lasting relationships that I have made with my teammates. It's really the people that make this sport so AWESOME! If you are contemplating about coming out to practice, I highly encourage you to give it a shot! You will find people of all ages, skill levels and personalities. Some are fair weather paddlers (folks who come out during the summer) while others are hardcore winter paddlers- the solitude that comes with being the only boat on the water is something that is totally worth the experience! There is usually plenty of parking in the main lot just outside of Kenmore Air. Do not park in the gravel lot directly adjacent to the terminal unless you check with whoever is leading practice that day. Usually that lot is available during the winter when Kenmore Air shuts down earlier due to the lack of sunlight. If you need to use the restrooms, go up (north) along the parking lot to the nearest Starbucks where you'll find restrooms in the main lobby of the AGC building. Paddles & lifejackets will be provided on site. Additionally, you will need to sign a waiver if it's your first time, minimum age is 12 (guardian signature required for paddlers between 12 & 17 years ago). If you are interested in competing, the majority of the races take place during the summer and into the fall, however, occasionally you'll find opportunities outside that time period. Check out the website for additional info. HAVE FUN! Practices: Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6-7:30pm Saturday mornings from 8-10am Sunday afternoons from 3-4:30pm

The PNW…read morereally is nature's playground - we experienced some beautiful views, saw some wildlife and really worked up an appetite! Although I had a fantastic time, I was hesitant to give 5 stars because the staff were very friendly, however didn't make me feel particularly safe. I've spent some time as a hiking guide up in Denali Alaska, so I suppose I may be a bit biased, but when I choose to go out on a trip with a guide, it's because I would like for them to share expertise and keep me safe; both of which fell a bit short for me on this particular trip. I also recognize it was very early in the season, so some of the staff were training and brand new. However, the whole experience felt a bit unorganized, honestly, and like we were just being rushed in and out. Luckily I am a decently experienced kayaker and it's so hard to have a horrible time out on the water with gorgeous weather and good company!

I thoroughly enjoyed myself at the aquarium, and I recommend it as part of your to-do list when you visit Seattle.
