Skagit
Birding Adventure
we'll meet you in LaConner (only a 60 mile drive north of Seattle or south from
Vancouver B.C.) and transport you to Blake's Resort on the Lower Skagit
River. You'll meet with your naturalist, river guides who will treat you
with tales of local history, spot a variety of birds, and take you on a voyage
of discover through the Skagit estuary into the

Northwest Float Trips is the only raft company offering this innovative trip; it
has been enjoyed by folks of all ages for many years. Since it is a
leisurely float with no white water, it is ideal for families, groups and bird
enthusiasts.
This is our most productive
river
adventure to experience a variety of wildlife, Red-Tailed Hawks, Blue Heron,
Bald Eagles and a variety of sea-birds. On occasion we witness river otters and
other marine critters.
 You’ll stop for a yummy picnic on
Goat Island located across from Deception Pass where you can explore and climb to an abandoned
Fort, a leftover post from WWII. A huge cistern is at the top of the
island where a vast variety of birds visit on their
migratory route to both bathe and drink the fresh water. We'll meander on
through the channel and you'll disembark from
your inflatable raft in LaConner.
Stay and visit LaConner, or we can take you through the legendary and
spectacular display of tulip fields in West Mt. Vernon. You’ll view the
beautiful gardens of tulips and many other floral species in bloom.
 Please note
that the
Skagit Valley Tulip
Festival
is an annual event which takes place in April.
The fields are
filled with flowers both before and after and still beautiful for viewing.
On the drive to LaConner you'll pass several magnificent fields. We'll
also include a short ride around the tulip fields during the festival.
