Outside Magazine reviews

Outside Magazine choose Outdoor Odysseys as one of its “10 Favorite Liquid Adventures in the United States.”

Frommer's reviews

“The best way to search for orcas is from a sea kayak, and the best kayaking company for such an outing is Outdoor Odysseys.”

Sunset Magazine review

“To try for an eye-level orca sighting, Outdoor Odysseys is genuinely one of the greatest beginner’s kayaking experiences you’ll find anywhere…”

The OO crew couldn't have been more professional and prepared from the moment they picked us up at Friday Harbor through the launch and landing. It was beyond expectations and worth every penny.

If you’re looking for a fun and unforgettable kayak trip in the San Juan Islands, I highly recommend Outdoor Odyssey. Our 3-day trip was superb.

I am not usually someone to pay for a guided tour, but this was absolutely worth it and a huge highlight during our time in the San Juan Islands. Our guide was awesome. We were a group kids, teens and adults (two families). We learned a lot about the island, and had a ball along the coast for our 7 mile day trip.

The food was excellent. Organic as much as possible, fresh as much as possible, well prepared, and plenty of it.

This trip was one I will never forget. Outdoor Odysseys does such a great job on these kayak trips. Our guides were wonderful. The food was beyond belief...for anywhere, not just a kayaking trip.

This company has been around for a long time. They know how to treat people.

We were a group of four taking a full day kayak trip. I would highly recommend this tour group. We saw orcas, seals and bald eagles. The lunch that was prepared was vegetarian and delicious, and much enjoyed after several hours of kayaking.

From the first phone call to the last handshake, my experience with the Odyssey team was perfect. We all departed happy campers, passionate about our 3 day journey with team Odyssey!

Just got back from an overnight camping trip with OO about a week ago, and after the time we had, I had to write a review. Overall, I would highly recommend this company and trip for anyone who wants a bit of a physical challenge with a lot of fun memories in one of the most beautiful parts of the world.

Great kayaking, great guide, great food. I went on a 4-day kayak trip. We saw orcas on the first day only, but also saw seals, river otters, harbor porpoises, eagles, heron, and other wildlife. Can't over-recommend this trip.
