The Dosewallips Estuary is one of Washington’s largest intact estuaries and is home to up to 100 harbor seals, bald eagles, blue herons, salmon, river otters and much more. If your lucky we’ll spot Brinnon’s herd of Roosevelt Elk grazing on the banks!
On this 3 hour round-trip paddle we experience three distinct environments. We start in the marine waters of the Hood Canal then travel into the Dosewallips Estuary and upriver into slow moving sloughs.

Your Naturalist / Guide will teach you about the wildlife we see and talk about the natural history of the Hood Canal. $125 per person.
