Whidbey Island Kayaking Company

Whidbey Island Kayaking (WIK) was established in 2002 by Ed Young, who loved to kayak. He was a one-man operation for years, guiding and hauling all the gear from launch to launch and eventually found a home at South Whidbey Harbor. In 2014, WIK was bought by local resident Krista Loercher and soon she encouraged Jeff Jacobsen to join and help. Krista and Jeff both are open water swimmers, former lifeguards, ex-swim coaches and Red Cross water safety instructors with professional backgrounds in business and technology. In other words, they are aquatic-enthusiast, safety-freaks who love Whidbey Island and love caring for and growing WIK. They offer kayak and bike tours, and during the summer they rent kayaks and paddleboards. Tours include:
