Pacific Northwest

I love kayaking in the Pacific Northwest, from the San Juan Islands to eastern Oregon. With the Pacific Ocean and Cascade Range creating such diverse landscapes, you can have any variety of experiences across the same or multiple trips. See where we recommend paddling on the Olympic Peninsula, Seattle Area, eastern Washington, Oregon Wine Country and more.

We do include Alaska in our Pacific Northwest articles as it’s on the Pacific Ocean and is a part of northwestern North America. And yes, Idaho is also a part of the PNW as its rivers connect to the major waterways of Washington and Oregon. And Idaho is where we get to enjoy some of the best whitewater rafting in the Pacific Northwest!
