All of our Alaska kayaking trips give you the opportunity to see abundant marine wildlife at close range. Other marine mammals we consistently see while kayaking in Alaska include, Dall’s porpoises, harbor porpoises, harbor seals, and threatened Steller’s sea lions. Sea otters gather at favorite kelp forests on one the kayak routes, and gaze endearingly at passing paddlers. Overhead, bald eagles perch on nearly every prominence as they patiently await migrating salmon. Many other marine birds gather to nest in noisy rookeries.

Going ashore, you will see tide pools teeming with fascinating creatures, and watch as they appear and disappear in the wake of enormous fourteen foot tides. Any stream will be chock full of salmon and char and if you arrive during a spawning run you will witness one of nature’s most amazing spectacles.

Upland explorations will reveal numerous game trails, and maybe even the tracks of bears and wolves. Within the ancient Tongass rainforest all sounds seem to be swallowed by the dense foliage and hanging mosses – its as if you’ve entered a towering emerald cathedral. Here survives the largest temperate rainforest in the world.

Our Alaska kayak tours are staffed by experienced guides and naturalists. We limit group size to ten participants, thereby ensuring an intimate trip and a close-up view of Alaska’s wonders. Hopefully, we can be a part of your Alaska adventure vacation plans. Please call if you have any questions.
