What happens on the day
From rugged sea cliffs to lush kelp forests and rocky sea stacks, Port Orford Heads State Park is home to some of Oregon’s most stunning landscapes. Admire the area’s natural beauty while looking for wildlife on this Sit-On-Top Tandem Kayak Adventure!
Beginning in the small coastal town of Port Orford, you and a loved one will hop aboard a sit-on-top tandem kayak. This style of kayak is sturdy, easy to get into, and is perfect for beginners. Before heading out to sea, an experienced guide will show you the basics of paddling, go over a few safety rules, and provide everyone with a PFD. On those exceptionally chilly days, you’ll also be given a wetsuit to help keep you warm.
Paddle through gorgeous, green and blue hued waters while your guide shares fascinating facts about the area. Pass beneath dramatic sea cliffs, across beds of bull kelp, and along rocky sea stacks. Along the way, keep your eyes open for wildlife! These nutrient-rich waters are home to sea lions, jellyfish, harbor seals, and a variety of birds.
If you’re lucky, you may even spot the blow of a Gray Whale! Every year, these massive mammals migrate along the Oregon coast and can be seen frequently from late winter to early fall. Watch these incredible whales as they swim, glide, and dive gracefully through the water.
Enjoy a scenic kayak tour full of wildlife and breathtaking views!
