Edenwild Island Adventures, run through The Edenwild boutique inn on Lopez Island, offers bike and kayak rentals for exploring the San Juan Islands. Rentals are available from the Edenwild’s Lopez Village location or picked up right at the Lopez Island Ferry Landing, giving visitors an easy way to explore without needing to bring a car onto the island.
Kayak rentals launch into Fishermans Bay, a completely protected bay just steps from Edenwild and one of the calmest paddling spots in the San Juan Islands, with regular sightings of eagles, seals, shore birds, and starfish, and occasional appearances by otters and even orca whales. Half-day rentals include all kayaking gear, launch assistance from friendly staff, and access to both sea kayaks and sit-on-top models suited to paddlers of any age and experience level. A kayak crabbing option lets guests spend a half day paddling and crabbing for Dungeness and Red Rock crab during the summer season (mid-July through fall, Thursday through Monday), with fishing licenses and crab catch cards available for purchase on the island. Edenwild is one of the few outfitters in the San Juan Islands offering kayaking year-round, with launch times adjusted around tides and currents for guest safety.
Bicycle rentals feature bikes from Trek and Kona, available in sizes for riders 12 and up, with road, mountain, and hybrid bikes offered (no e-bikes at this time). Multi-day rental options run from a single day up to a full week, and the business provides detailed maps for popular routes including the easy Fishermans Bay Loop, the moderate North End Loop, and the advanced Tour de Lopez, the island’s most famous annual ride.
For visitors to Lopez Island looking to explore by bike or kayak, Edenwild Island Adventures offers convenient ferry-landing and village pickup locations with gear suited to every skill level and interest, from casual sightseeing to crabbing and serious cycling routes.
