What happens on the day
Located along Oregon’s southern coast, Port Orford Heads State Park boasts a stunning collection of rugged rock formations, hidden coves, lush kelp beds, and more. During this fully guided adventure, you’ll explore the area from the seat of a tandem kayak!
Beginning in the small coastal town of Port Orford, you and a loved one will hop aboard a sit-in-style tandem kayak. This style of kayak is perfect for your adventure and features a sturdy, easy-to-maneuver design. Before heading out to sea, a professional and experienced guide will show you the ropes of paddling, go over a few safety rules, and provide everyone with a PFD. Then, it’s time to explore!
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.
