We spent a beautiful, peaceful afternoon on the ocean with Aine. We are experienced kayakers but had never been shown how to enter a kayak from a dock. Aine’s method was effortless, safe and efficient. We saw sea lions, harbor seals, eagles, jelly fish, star fish, etc. and learned about the surrounding area. Aine shared her knowledge about the wildlife, expanding on the studies of starfish. We had snacks after our time on the water, locally caught and smoked salmon - it was delish! We were picked up and dropped back to our cruise ship on time and the drivers shared information about Ketchikan.

This is an opportunity to kayak in Alaska. Unless you are in the kayak with the guide, you will not be able to hear much of what she is saying. We did love kayaking with sea lions and it was a beautiful day!

so much fun
We had a wonderful time on the Ketchikan Kayak Eco-Tour! The scenery was beautiful, the kayaking was fun and relaxing, and it was a great way to experience Alaska from the water. Everything was well organized, and the guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable throughout the tour. It was a great experience for our whole family and definitely one of the highlights of our time in Ketchikan. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Kayaking Adventure
We absolutely loved every second of our time on the water with Ketchikan Kayak Company! Anya was an amazing guide; knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience so much fun.
We were lucky enough to see humpback whales, sea lions, bald eagles, and harbor seals, and being out on the water surrounded by all that wildlife was truly incredible. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Ketchikan and an experience we won’t forget.
I would highly recommend Ketchikan Kayak Company to anyone visiting Ketchikan. And as if the amazing experience wasn’t enough, they had delicious snacks waiting for us at the end!
Five stars all around!

For a great time in a sea kayak
Easily a major highlight of my trip to Alaska. This part of the world is so pretty so why not enjoy it from sea level with a fantastic companion? Cameron and Jenny were great guides both for honing my paddling technique and providing so much interesting information about the local flora and fauna. Like what is a carotenoid, anyway? ;-) Thanks to everyone at Ketchikan Kayak Co. for a great first experience in a sea kayak.

Jenn and Cam were top notch. Great outfit and people. Owner picked us up and handed us off to Sarah for rest of ride. Her driving pretty aggressive and no personality. Trip in kayaks was the best. Saw eagles, jellyfish and one harbor seal and one sea lion. Hard work but well worth it. Perfect weather and great experience
