Awesome experience kayaking on Elliott Bay. Our guide was Nick and he was fantastic. He was helpful, knowledgeable, and overall just a fun person to be on the water with. We learned a bit about Seattle and Elliott Bay, and we even saw a Harbor Seal which was cool. On the trip was my wife and I and our two adult children. Parking can be a challenge depending on when you go. Not anything the tour company can control, just mentioning for awareness. We went on a Sunday and had perfect weather. Which likely was a factor. Overall, we had a fantastic time and highly recommended this company.
Gill and his team planned a memorable and super fun kayaking experience as a part of our girls' day out for group of about 15 ladies!! We were also impressed with how smooth everything went and Gill and the team were extremely friendly and helpful the entire process! The location was very convenient and there's a nice restroom, lockers, and foot showers right there. All of the ladies in our group had a great time and we are very thankful to Alki Kayak Tours for making our day extra special!
This was a good first time kayaking experience. All 4 of us in our party, ages ranging from 21 to 72, did as well or better than expected. Arm fatigue is a factor for anyone that does not work out regularly. Our guide was a little on the new side but everything was fine with our small group of 4. It was a beautiful day, great conditions, and we all had a good time.
