Paddle met walvissen Kayak Adventure Juneau
Beschrijving
Spring op onze kleine intieme boot en reis de Inside Passage op naar de rijkste bultrugvoedingsgrond in Alaska. Zie het weelderige en levendige gematigde regenwoud, prachtige besneeuwde toppen en stromende gletsjers, waar je enige buren de voedende bultruggen, nieuwsgierige zeeleeuwen, speelse bruinvissen en stijgende adelaars zijn! We zullen in de kleine boot lanceren en het State Marine Park in gaan, daar zullen we naar een afgelegen eiland trekken waar we ons opmaken en beginnen te peddelen! We zullen kajakken peddelen door de bultrug voedergrond, op zoek naar tekenen van dieren in het wild en walvissen. Nadat je je kajakverkenning hebt voltooid, wordt je getrakteerd op een heerlijke snack van hoge kwaliteit op het privéstrand van het eiland. Strek je benen, pak een snack en verken de getijdenpoelen van het eiland! Dit eco-avontuur is geschikt voor alle ervaringsniveaus en zal zeker een nieuw perspectief bieden op wat er mogelijk is in de wereld van afgelegen eilandexploratie in Alaska en is bij uitstek peddelen en eilandavontuur.

Paddling with Whales tour was great. We had such a good time kayaking and we spotted Humpback whales on our boat ride to & from our kayaking spot! Julia & Matt took good care of us and both were so friendly and helpful! Highly recommended this tour!
Guide and Capitan were great. We were able to view whales from kayaks and also on boat going to and from drop off points. Would highly recommend.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review! We're glad you had such great whale viewing. We appreciate you making us part of your Alaska vacation.
It is nearly a full day experience, so worth it though. The tour group will provide for you everything that you need and a very nice stack at the end.
Michael, thank you for your review! We are so glad you enjoyed our trip, and we hope to see you again soon!
Julia and Matt were the absolute best and I will remember this awesome experience forever! Julia and Matt taught us about humpbacks as a species as well as intros to the local whales we saw on our tour! They answered our wide range of questions from recent whale research to how the whale watching guides and captains collaborate either each other. The views from the kayak were BEAUTIFUL. I couldn’t recommend anything more to anyone!
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We're so glad you had an unforgettable experience with Julia and Matt. Their passion for whales and deep knowledge really shine, and it's great to hear they helped make the tour memorable. We're thrilled you enjoyed the stunning views from the kayak. Thank you for the glowing recommendation!
From start to finish ABAK took care of us. We were given the gear we needed for our paddling with whales. Captain Caysha got us out on the water and Guide Alex gave us great information on the waters, boats, islands, and wildlife we might encounter. Sightings were weak on the trip out but a stop by the ‘can’ gave us some sea lions sleeping. We put our kayaks in calm waters and enjoyed eating some kelp and paddling around but no whales unfortunately. Back on the boat I soaked up the sun and wondered just how I got to be so lucky to even be out on the water in this way…when the call came in. We showed up to the right spot to see a couple pods of orcas come right at us. It was amazing and a testament to the location ABAK operates in, no wildlife guarantees but there’s always a chance. Plus we got a little meal for the ride back and glad to have the team that I did.
Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re glad to hear you felt well taken care of by Captain Caysha and Guide Alex, and that you enjoyed both the calm kayaking and your unforgettable orca encounter. While sightings can never be guaranteed, moments like that truly make it special. We appreciate you choosing ABAK and are grateful to have shared the experience with you!
Above and Beyond Alaska delivered an absolutely magical experience with their kayaking with whales experience. From start to finish, this tour truly felt personal and like a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with the majestic wildlife of Alaska. Our guide Kelsey is a legend and a queen! She has a wealth of knowledge and amazing stories to share. She did an incredible job making everyone feel comfortable, safe, and accommodating for different needs. My mom and I did this tour for her 70th Birthday and she had never been in a kayak before. Kelley, made her feel like a pro and extra special! She even helped her pull off a stubborn boot! I would absolutely book another tour with this company, highly recommend!
Wow—thank you for such a wonderful and heartfelt review! We're so honored you chose to spend such a special occasion with us, and we're thrilled to hear it was a memorable experience for you and your mom. Kelsey will be thrilled to read your kind words—we couldn't agree more, she is a legend! Thank you again for your recommendation and for trusting us with such a meaningful adventure. We’d love to welcome you and your mom both back for another unforgettable journey in Alaska!
Our tour guide, Kristine was awesome. She is very knowledgeable and just great!! Matt our captain was also knowledgeable and great!! Even though it was a cloudy, rainy day we had an excellent time both whale watching and kayaking.
We are so excited to hear you had a wonderful day out on the water with Matt and Kristin! It is so special to experience whales in the way that you did. Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your positive experience and feedback. We greatly appreciate it.
Loved how intimate the tour was. There were 12 people total, divided in to 2 groups of 6 for most of the day. The tour guides were phenomenal and we saw some amazing things! Alaska is stunning. However, overall I was disappointed with this tour. The price was too expensive for the experience we got in my opinion. I expected to primarily be kayaking…and we only kayaked for 45 minutes. If I wanted to pay for a boat tour, I would have paid less than half the price for another tour 😬
Thank you for your review. We appreciate and value all feedback we receive, as it gives us the ability to make adjustments and improve our operations. We are sorry to hear the kayaking portion did not meet your expectations. Total kayaking time is dependent marine conditions, wildlife location, and paddling ability of the whole group. We are happy to hear that the guides were great and you were able to see amazing things. We hope you were able to enjoy the rest of your time in Juneau.
Unsure what to write as it is possible our adventure simply had the luck of the Irish, as it was amazing. Above and Beyond Alaska is an excellent, organized, high-quality company with skilled guides. Extremely responsive and friendly to my many questions. Had done two tours with them this trip, the other a bear excursion to Admiralty Island (which was fine, though not nearly as memorable). This specific tour (5 guests) was guided by Kris, a personable and knowledgeable gal. Bused to a boat, there is then a fairly lengthy trip to where booted off. The ride offered gorgeous views, manned by a cordial captain. Saw plenty of humpback whales, and a couple of sea lions. The whales did not breach. Also, boats not allowed to get within 100 yards, though the whales could come closer (I tried to entice one with peanut butter). Doubt any got within 300 yards. I believe Kris mentioned guests get closer to whales while in the boat as opposed to kayaking, which was a bit of a bummer. Then we were dropped off for kayaking. Good thing Kris knew where we were as pretty secluded. (Swear I saw Bigfoot.) We get in two person kayaks (suited and layered). Not for the feint of heart as when away from land the currents/wakes had some size. As we are trolling along we see whales in the distance. Far, but still cool. Then...dun Dun DUN!!! Our kayaks a good distance from lan, at one point we were seeing a lot of whales, and they were coming closer and closer. Kris (fear in her voice???) ordered us to bunch our kayaks for safety and stability, a humpback headed our way, apparently in search of peanut butter. It easily got within 60’ .(Got one of those memorable trip videos, the whale fluking after it passed. After a fair amount of time gathering ourselves, Kris said to head in. Then...DUN DUN DUN... Two massive whales appeared right in front of us, easily within 10-20’, from my view appearing to almost knock one kayak over. Unknown how much Kris tipped the whales for this performance, but it was well worth it. After this adrenaline rush, we paddled a looooong distance to land. I don’t want to attempt to convey all will have this experience, as I sense this was very unique. For our tiny lil group, what a memory. If book this trip, I suggest bring some peanut butter as b
Thank you for your review! Glad to hear you had such a memorable trip with Kris. Wildlife can be very unpredictable and sounds like a great day on the water!
Not only did we get lucky with a very clear weather but the whales and sea lions were there to greet us! The guide was great and the landscape amazing (even without the whales it would at be worth it!). The snack was good, just remember it is a snack, not a lunch. Just do it!
Thank you for your review! So glad to hear you had such a great time and thank you for making us a part of your Alaskan vacation! Come back and see us again.
