Elevate Outdoors offers guided kayak and bike tours, along with bike rentals, at the gateway to Olympic National Park in Port Angeles, Washington. The business is built around helping visitors fit multiple adventures into one trip, whether that means kayaking the clear water of Lake Crescent in the morning before hiking Marymere or Sol Duc Falls in the afternoon, or a sunset bike ride on the Olympic Discovery Trail after taking in the views from Hurricane Ridge.
The kayak tour lineup includes the Coastal Kayak Tour, a 3 to 3.5-hour trip exploring the rugged coastline of the Strait of Juan de Fuca with the Olympic Mountains as a backdrop, offering chances to spot bald eagles, sea stars, anemones, urchins, river otters, and harbor seals in crystal-clear water. The Golden Hour Coastal Kayak Tour offers a condensed early-morning version of that same route, paddling out of Freshwater Bay in the peaceful quiet of sunrise. A Starlight and Bioluminescence Coastal Kayak Tour lets guests paddle at twilight under dark, light-pollution-free skies, with a chance to see stars, fluorescent anemones, and glowing bioluminescent plankton. For a different setting entirely, the Kayak Tour at Lake Crescent explores the glacially carved lake’s stunning blue water inside Olympic National Park. No prior kayaking experience is required for any tour, and the business primarily uses tandem kayaks, pairing solo bookings with other guests as needed for safety and comfort.
Beyond kayaking, Elevate Outdoors offers mountain, road, and kids’ bike rentals along with guided bike tours and all-day combination tours pairing biking and paddling. Every tour includes paddling equipment and required immersion wear in the price, and guests just need to bring non-cotton clothing, water shoes, snacks, water, and sun protection.
The business operates seasonally, May through October, with rental hours from 9am to 4:30pm, closed Sunday and Monday; tour times vary by specific trip.
For visitors near Olympic National Park looking to kayak the coast or Lake Crescent, or rent a bike to explore the Olympic Discovery Trail, Elevate Outdoors offers a well-reviewed, guide-led adventure company out of Port Angeles.
