      Say farewell to worry and stress and say hello to the mellow island vibe. Soak in the clean air, clean water, slower pace, and just refresh your souls. Located on the northwestern-most point of the contiguous United States, the San Juans consists of 172 named islands and reefs. A happy confluence of weather systems also accounts for the high level of air quality you’ll appreciate across the San Juans. So breath in—you’re on “island time” now!


      This 4-day, 3-night adventure is ideal for anyone looking to explore the outer San Juan Islands rarely seen by other travelers. We’ll travel at a leisurely pace, set up our own camp, and help prepare meals in some of the most pristine campsites in the world. 


      No prior kayaking, yoga, or camping experience is required but please note that camping is rustic and all participants are responsible for helping prepare meals, set up camp, and load kayaks each day. This trip is a great opportunity to learn about sea kayak touring to empower future exploration on your own!

      + 4 days kayaking and camp expedition
      + 3 nights rustic camping
      + Twice daily yoga and meditation
      + Island hiking

      This trip was amazing and exceeded all expectations! The accommodations, food, guides, and trip leaders were remarkable. Thank you for organizing such a transformational trip!

      This trip was absolutely transformative for me. The contracted kayak guides were absolutely incredibly and went above and beyond to treat us to gourmet meals, amazing campsites, and great conversation. Further, the trip leaders from Root surpassed the huge expectation I already had. Not only did they facilitate exceptional stretching, guided meditations, and a new appreciation for mindfulness, but they allowed my group to feel as though we'd known each other for YEARS instead of just a few days. I would recommend a trip through Root Adventures to everyone and feel so grateful to have discovered this program.

      I had a phenomenal time on the Banff trip! The hotel accommodations and restaurants were excellent, the food while backpacking was plentiful and tasty, and our guide was knowledgeable and trustworthy. Every detail was very well planned and executed. The best parts were the amazing scenery and meeting the wonderful women of the group! I would 100% use Root Adventures to travel again!
