what an enjoyable experience! everyone in the crew was friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. the sea kayaking took us along a gorgeous and secluded route so we felt very connected to the Alaska experience, away from the hustle and bustle of the cruise. highly recommend!
Staff and our guide were amazing and so knowledgeable! Highly recommend!
Love that it is a small group Kayaking. You get up close to see the wild life in the water. The tour guide was great, he explained everything to our 8 year old granddaughter in a way that she understood.
Really cool open sea kayaking with some really fun guides! Keep in mind the sea has a mind of its own so rowing can be hard in some areas! All our boat and tour guides were exceptional and knowledgeable!
10/10 nature immersive experience. May or may not see orcas but will definitely laugh and enjoy alaskas beauty.
It was truly amazing to kayak in the cove. I would make sure to dress in layers but otherwise, things were really good
Our family had the absolute experience of a lifetime on this kayaking tour! We were out on the water with four teenage boys, which can sometimes be a tough crowd to impress, but this excursion completely blew everyone away. The absolute highlight of the trip was when a pod of orcas swam directly toward us and actually glided right underneath our kayaks. It was a breathtaking, spine-tingling moment that none of us will ever forget. The pure excitement on the boys' faces was absolutely priceless. Our guide, Erica, was fantastic and we feel like we really bonded with her while witnessing something so rare. Thank you for a memory that our boys will be talking about for the rest of their lives!
Devon was great to work with to coordinate our sea kayak tour. I had a flight cancellation which caused us to miss our original tour time. He was able to work with us to reschedule for another day, and we are so grateful for him. We had a great time starting with our boat captain, Chuck, who met us at the marina and brought us to Matt and Erica, who were amazing guides. They had all the gear clean and ready for us as we arrived at the catamaran. Erica was our lead guide and she did a great job teaching us and telling us all about the area and local flora and fauna. 10/10 - would recommend.
Excellent guides, comfortable kayak, lots of wildlife and great snacks at the end. Great value.
It was fun kayaking around the islands and seeing all the eagles.
