Kayak Crabbing & Lunch Guided Tour
Join us for a guided half day kayaking adventure of kayak crabbing, wildlife viewing, swimming and a beach picnic! We will paddle a short way to drop crab pots then continue on our journey to view beautiful scenery and amazing wildlife before reaching a secluded beach to relax, eat a picnic lunch and swim. Your guide will be with you every step of the way to teach you how to safely and effectively catch crab off your kayak and point out the local wildlife we see along the way. On the paddle back, we will pull up the crab pots and hopefully score a bounty of Dungeness and Red Rock crabs for you to take home for dinner! This tour occurs in one of the best spots to see transient orcas travel through on their hunt for seals and other mammals, so bring a camera! $145 per person
Tour group size will be between 2 and 8 people. If you are a group larger than 8, please call us to book 360-301-6310.
Wear shoes that can get wet. Flip-flops and slip-on sandals are not advisable as there are many sharp oysters on the beach. Water shoes, boots, or old tennis shoes work great. A hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a swimsuit are recommended.
You are also welcome to join this tour without the crabbing activity, however there is no discount offered if you choose not to drop a crab pot. You may bring your own lunch or purchase a picnic lunch from us as an add on when you book.
If you are participating in crab harvesting, a WDFW shell fishing license with a Dungeness Crab Catch Card is REQUIRED. PLEASE PURCHASE BEFORE YOUR ARRIVAL with the MYWDFW App or on the WDFW website (you’ll need to print your license and bring it with you)
One licensed person can drop up to 2 crab pots, so you don’t necessarily need a license for each person. Kids under 16 years old do not need a fishing license but they will need a Dungeness Crab Catch Record Card, which is free.
One crab pot and bait is provided per tandem kayak. If you are booking as a single person, or if your group has an odd number of guests, one person will be crabbing with one crab pot in a single kayak. This tour is only offered during the summer crabbing season, generally Independence Day weekend to Labor Day (early July to early Sept). For spring and fall kayaking tours please see our Oyster Shucking; Tide Pool; Bald Eagle Viewing; and Dosewallips Estuary Kayaking Tours. To go kayak crabbing on your own, check out our Kayak Crabbing Package!
After booking, please see your confirmation e-mail for other important information including our launch location and details concerning acquiring a crab license. See our Frequently Asked Questions page for additional information and our refund and cancellation policy.
