Launching from the charming South Whidbey Harbor in Langley – with its art, cafes, and shops – this is an easy way to get out on the water! Two hours from start to finish, the Langley Loop lets you enjoy the Pacific Northwest at its finest as you search for seals, crabs and eagles while enjoying panoramic views of the Cascade Mountains. As you explore the area, you’ll also learn about the coastal community of Langley and its past, present and future.
Before we leave the beach, you’ll get to know your guide(s) and the equipment. Our staff will make sure you’re properly outfitted, prepared and comfortable before launching. The harbor is a cozy, sheltered area so you can start enjoying the boats right away. Once everyone’s ready, we’ll move swiftly out to the open water of the Saratoga Passage to explore Whidbey’s coastline and begin looking for wildlife.
