Directions

Most of our courses will meet at one of the two locations listed below. We will inform our guests of the meeting place at the time of booking, and we will let you know if anything changes prior to the class. However, Fidalgo Island is small and these locations are only about 10-15 minutes apart. If you arrive at the wrong location it won’t be much of an inconvenience for anyone. Thank you!

Deception Pass State Park / Bowman Bay

With the exception of multi-day expeditionary style courses most classes will be conducted in Deception Pass State Park. (Some classes may be conducted from nearby Skyline Marina. We will inform you of changes to the class locations. Thank you!)

We will meet in the parking lot at Bowman Bay on the north side of the Deception Pass Bridge. Some classes will launch from Cornet Bay on the south side of Deception Pass State Park, but we will inform you if that is the case.

(Approximately 90 minutes from Seattle; 1-hour from Bellingham)
