Who we are

About Us

Camano Island Adventures was founded with a simple idea: life is better on the water. As long-time locals, we saw an opportunity to share the incredible beauty of our island home in a fun and accessible way. By delivering premium sit-on-top kayaks and inflatable paddleboards directly to waterfront properties on Camano and offering daily launches from Camano Island State Park, we make it easy to explore the beautiful waters around us. Whether you’re here for the weekend or here for good, we’re excited to bring you the best of Camano.

Camano Island Adventures

Our Story

Hi! We’re Tara and Kory — longtime residents of the Stanwood-Camano community and proud to call this island home. We both grew up here, and have always appreciated the natural beauty, the easygoing spirit, and the close-knit feel of life on the island. Now, with our two daughters pursuing their own adventures, we’re excited to begin a new chapter, one that lets us share the place we love most.

Being outside has always been one of our favorite things. Kory’s early years guiding float tours in Alaska sparked a love for exploration that has taken us across much of the Pacific Northwest — kayaking, boating, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors with friends, family, and our dogs. Yet no matter where we roam, Camano Island remains a special place.

We truly believe that spending time on the water is one of the best parts of life in the Pacific Northwest. With Camano Island Adventures, we’re excited to make those experiences easy and accessible — helping visitors and locals alike get out and make the kinds of memories we’ve been lucky enough to create ourselves.
