Spent a weekend at Dock Street Marina, checking out Tacoma & hanging out on the boat. The location…read more allows easy access to quite a bit: the glass museum, UW Tacoma campus, the free link train to most of downtown and there is a Starbucks within close range too. The marina has a great shower/restroom facility. Very clean and updated. Laundry is also available. Upon check-in, we were given a welcome packet with info on the city, sightseeing brochures, coupons, etc. Docks were clean, I saw them being swept/washed in the morning. We had a great view of the bridge at night, and with the water so calm, you could see the reflection mirrored in the water. Food options nearby: 1) 7 Seas Brewery with restaurant 3uilt inside 2) Forum (link train to theatre district) 3) The Swiss - bar/pub food Heads up: you're near the train tracks, so you'll hear trains going by or as hubs likes to say "fake train noises".

Plan accordingly. http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/ Outdoor adventures keeps the guided groups small (maximum 12 people). I appreciate the small groups since this was my first time kayaking. Three types of kayaks are available: single, double or triple occupancy. Discover is an accepted form of payment. A Discover Pass is required to park at Spencer Spit. If you do not have a pass, a $10 day pass can be purchased with cash or check. There were several rangers checking passes on our visit so be sure to have a pass visibly displayed to avoid being ticketed. WHAT TO BRING - Signed Release of Liability - Bathing suit or non-cotton under layers preferred - A synthetic shirt (capilene, polypro, Under Armor, etc) - Shorts or pants made of a synthetic material (may get wet/damp) - Lightweight fleece jacket or windbreaker/rain jacket to provide warmth - Water shoes or sandals that strap on (or shoes that can get wet) - Sun hat and/or sunglasses - Sunscreen and chapstick - Water bottle - Optional; Camera, Plastic bag for wet items and change of clothing - If you have a gift certificate or prepaid voucher (such as Groupon) please bring a printed copy with you! Dorito Dan was our guide for the day. Dan was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The first hour is dedicated to introductions, procedures and safety. Be sure to use the restroom before departing. Once on the water, there is no turning back. Kayaking is great for teamwork and communication. Both are required to avoid frustration. I recommend wearing weight-lifting/bicycle gloves in order to prevent blisters. Each person in our group started getting blisters towards the end of the tour. During our 3 mile kayaking trip, we spotted starfish, seals and majestic bald eagles. Thank you Outdoor Adventures for providing a magnificent day of play while surrounded by gorgeous Mother Nature. We all plan to return in the near future for another go-around.

My daughter had every…read moreintention of purchasing one they had but the one man working stood outside talking with someone who was sitting in his car the entire time. He never once asked if we had questions or needed help with anything. While looking at the kayak she wanted another couple walked in and needed help to which he pretty much blew them off. Needless to say my daughter hopped online and purchased a 1500$ kayak online because the one person working didn't acknowledge her or anyone else browsing the store what so ever. He clearly wasn't motivated to make a sale because we both would have gotten one.

Due to the CrowdStrike/Microsoft…read moresoftware debacle, our flight from Chicago to Seattle was canceled less than 12 hours before takeoff. That made our original reservations impossible for us to make. I sent an email & Steve was very quick to respond (within 15 minutes on a Saturday night) and move our reservations to the next day (all within 25 minutes). Thank you so much, Steve! We are a family of 4 and all first-time rafters from Illinois. We ran the Skagit River of Class 2's & 3's. Eric was our guide. Carl was the guide for our partner rafting family from Georgia. Eric was awesome and made us all feel very comfortable. His knowledge & easy to follow instructions kept us all in the raft. This was a very thrilling ride for beginners with some slower floating time to just take in the pure beauty. Now my 14yo son & I have the itch to tackle some 4's & 5's - my wife & daughter said they'll pass (though they truly loved this Skagit run). If you are on the fence of going - stop thinking about it and GO! You will not regret it!!! Thanks, Eric, for a wonderful trip!!!

We saw them feeding along the river bank, resting and drying wings in the trees, soaring high over head, and chattering to each other. We also saw many other bird species, which Luke pointed out along the way. The float itself is a delight. We didn't see anyone else on the river. Other stuff to know : Definitely wear layers with a water proof outer shell, including pants and shoes. I also was glad to have a hat with a brim to keep the rain off my face. You're outdoors in the PNW in the winter. So plan for 40s and rain and embrace the conditions. That said, if you're a dummy like me and leave your rain coat at home, they have ponchos in the visitor center you can borrow. Not ideal but better than nothing. The drive took us 100 minutes from Seattle on a Saturday. It's a gorgeous drive but Rockport and surrounds are lovely so definitely consider making a weekend of it. If you're not from the area I highly recommend driving as far up highway 20 as you can. Quintessential Washington beauty.

This was especially helpful when explaining how the recent flooding affected the eagles ability to fish. The concern was the eagles were not getting enough food and would be going into starvation mode. We were on poop watch. If they poop, then they were eating. Fortunately we saw an eagle take a bodacious dump. Big cheers all around! The drift boat was very comfortable with individual propane heaters and padded seats with backs.
