This place is incredible. We had a group of 7 stay in the Plum Tree Cottage at Bayside Cottages…read more Jim and Betsy (the owners) are very accommodating, laid back, and friendly. It felt like we were staying with family...not just a typical resort. The cottage itself was immaculate, spacious, comfortable, well maintained and only a few steps away from the beach. I look forward to staying with them again, and will definitely stay longer. Thanks so much for a wonderful time Jim and Betsy!

What a great lil retreat and perfect getaway weekend. Just what we were looking for to relax and…read morerecharge this is ideal for a completely secluded and private retreat-- away from all people, shops, hustle n bustle... If you want the shops and restaurants or grocery store, it's a 20 min drive. There are multiple cottages to choose from, but since it was just the two of us, we opted for the lummi cottage. Cute and cozy- complete w a super warm fire

I've been whale watching off the California coast before, so I'm going to compare this experience…read moreto that. This ended up more of a pleasant boat ride than whale watching as we didn't get to see any orcas (such a bummer!) and only got to see one single, elusive Humpback whale name Victory. I can't fault the tour for that, but it definitely impacts the experience. It was still a nice boat ride, with friendly staff onboard and the fortunate luck of sitting at the back of the boat next to a conservationist-led tour group with a lot of knowledge shared. On the brighter side, the weather was beautiful and we got to see two kinds of puffin and some sea lions as well. Just wish we got to see whales, instead of just one.

An absolutely perfect day; a perfect experience with wonderful guide. We can't give Brandon credit…read morefor the weather, but after such a breathtaking experience, we were praising him for the perfect weather, too. Booking was a breeze, advanced communication was timely and informative, check-in was friendly and easy, and even the drive across the island from Friday Harbor was engaged and informative. But the real magic happened on the water, where we started under mild, overcast skies, and ended with sunshine and perfect weather. Along the way we saw: 1 black fox, 2 harbor seals, 1 harbor porpoise, a rhinoceros auklet (unique diving sea bird), 13+ Bald Eagles, AND TWO HUMPBACK WHALES! The beach side lunch was fantastic... the best turkey sandwich I've ever had, made exceptional by the views and the company. The lack of an Orca sighting made this full day trip an eyelash shy of perfect, but we could not have otherwise been more thrilled with our experience on the water with Brandon and the Discovery Sea Kayak team. Thank you for a magical day on the island. PS - we paid half as much for a full day tour with Discovery as we did for a half day tour on Orcas Island, so this group gets our strongest recommendation!

Also of note is that the equipment was good quality and well maintained, with the kayaks being stable and relatively easy to steer with an added rudder.
