They let us rent even though we were later than usual hours, how sweet. Got a solid hour of kayaking in on super perfect weather and minimal current. One thing is my pants leg did get a tad wet.

What bothered me was that our waitress looked like they were wearing pajamas. She had on flip-flops, a tank top, and biker/yoga tight shorts and their long hair was down. Didn't seem very professional. Carrying plates of food with hair down is unsafe as hair can easily shed and get onto the plates. Also seemed unsafe to carry plates and glassware (without or without beverages) up and down the stairs in flip-flops. Even at beach bars and restaurants in Mexico etc. the waiters wear closed-toed shoes. We also didn't see her after taking our order; we had to go up to the bar (and a different waitress) to ask for more water and a second round of drinks.

If seeing killer whales is on your bucket list, prepare yourself: witnessing these magnificent creatures for the first time was absolutely magical and may bring you to tears as it did for me. Although it was rainy and the water was choppy, the boat handled it beautifully. The ride was fast and smooth, and no one got sick. I highly recommend bringing a poncho, wearing extra layers, and expecting your shoes to get wet if you plan to stay outside for a while. I stayed outside because this was one experience I was not going to miss! Highly recommend!

Well it is a cool store. Lots of marine stuff, aka "gently used", but I went there with a list of…read morestuff to buy and the prices in some cases were actually worse than buying new. We found nothing marked at a thrift level. It's a great idea, but if I'm only saving $50 on a $900 item, I'm gonna go buy it new, with the options of returnability and a warranty. Port Townsend has a similar marine thrift and it is WAY better! Used means no more than 40% of "new" cost.

I was staying on the peninsula for work. However, I had the later shift, so I had time to explore…read moreduring the day. Searching for waterfalls with easy access, I found Rocky Brook Falls! A few minutes drive off of 101 in Brinnon, WA you'll find Rocky Brook Falls. Across the street are a few parking spots, but beware that side is private property and there are a bunch of no trespassing signs. The entrance to the trail was not obvious to me. So I took some photos showing the path. But it's a short walk to the falls, which by the way, was a lot larger than I thought it would be! You will have to climb over some boulders to access the pool at the base of the falls, so just be aware of that. I came on a summer weekday, so there was only another couple with their dog there. You practically had the place to yourself! It has been one of the dryer summers, so I imagine after a good rainfall, the falls would be roaring and serene. Also note, there are no bathroom facilities and no cell service in the immediate area.

What an easy hike to an unpopulated waterfall with wading, swimming, and jumping options. I don't…read morethink it gets better than this for a hidden treasure. I highly recommend. Bring some Keens or other water shoes as you have to scrabble over some larger boulders at the edge of the pool - but to keep it real, I wore flip flops. There is a dirt parking lot on left side . Cross over the road and hike the trail on the right side.

While driving along the Hood Canal and passing through the Olympic National Forest's eastern…read morepanhandle, give your legs a stretch and take advantage of rejuvenating views. Falls View is a campground, however, it also offers a waterfall that cascades into the Big Quilcene River. Unlike many other places in the park, entrance is free. Since this is also a campsite there is a fee of $10 if you choose to stay the night. This is a second-growth forest canyon among spring blooming rhododendrons, lilies, and honeysuckle. Two short trails for the price of one: -Fallsview Loop Trail: This is a short jaunt for all ages interested in beautiful views. It loops back around to the start of the trail. The distance is only 0.1 miles and elevation is 440 feet. I highly recommend it for a photo opportunity! -Fallsview Canyon Trail: This trail takes you from the Falls View down to the floor of the canyon. Unfortunately, the trail does not bring you to the base of the falls to bathe or get a view from below. Instead, you're greeted with the bustling Big Quilcene River which has carved the canyon over hundreds of years. The trail quickly dips 200 feet of elevation in 0.1 mile. Keep in mind that grades are up to 10-20% in some spots and what you go down, you must come up. After 0.5 miles, there is a deceptive separate trail that splits leftward, but it's the end/beginning of the same trail which loops back around. The entire trail is 1.5 miles and in very good condition and maintained by the Mount Rose Trail Crew. Directions: From Quilcene, WA, travel 3.5 miles south on U.S. Highway 101. Falls View Campground is located on west side of U.S. Highway 101. If it is during the winter, you can park outside the gate and walk in (refer to image). Take a quick left and continue forward past the campground and picnic area. Fallsview Canyon Trail starts left of the parking area and goes downhill to the river. Fallsview Loop Trail's entrance is just to the right of that.
