SEA KAYAKING RENTALS IN ALASKA
Sea Quest is currently not renting kayaks in Alaska. Kayaking conditions in Alaska are very challenging thanks to areas of swift currents, rips and large tidal amplitudes. Icy waters, the speed that inclement weather systems can move in from the Gulf of Alaska, and the remote wilderness solitude add further to the advanced sea kayaking environment of Alaska.
Renting a kayak in Alaska should only be done if you are an advanced expedition kayaker. If you get in trouble, you need to be able to correct the situation quickly. Otherwise, it can become serious very fast. Rugged geography and vast distances between ports means that it is very difficult to contact emergency help without a satellite phone. And any rescuers could take a very long time to arrive. For those reasons we have decided not to provide Alaska kayak rentals.
We do provide expertly guided Alaska kayaking tours in the best locations for observing glacial activity, whale watching, salmon migrations, and much more. Please consider a guided trip as a safer alternative to renting kayaks in Alaska.

REVIEWS
He is living his passion and it was an inspiration to listen, learn and experience all that he has to offer. His knowledge of kayaking, camping, and his love of the San Juan Islands was so apparent to us. His level of species identification in both flora and fauna is impeccable. His appreciation and depth of knowledge on the ocean environment and sustainability was endless. We felt safe with his directions in the water and had a great time camping. He and Paige were great hosts.
One tip would be to not pack too much at this time of the year. One water resistant top for the campground will do. Booties are advisable. Rocks under your feet and toes getting in and out are not very comfortable and limits your ability to move your boat, etc. Sunscreen for sure and lightweight wool socks are GREAT! Sandals for the campground are fine. Binoculars are definitely a plus, unless you have 20/15 eyesight like Caleb. Ha!
He is also something of a "Whale Whisperer" as we called him. His pinpoint sense of where whales, dolphins and other sea life may be was always right on. On our second day we were lucky enough to see a transient pod/family trolling the waters in the late morning. In the evening, we camped on Turn Island and I truly believe it was because Caleb had an idea that the same pod might be headed in that direction.
After dinner, the same pod was seen coming toward the island and a strait where they were hunting seals. To ultimately see nature in a purest sense taking place from the island and anywhere from 100- 1000 feet away was amazing. The breaching, dorsal fins, herding mannerisms of the whales was riveting. It can't happen like that on every trip, but being with Caleb you knew it wasn't because he wasn't trying.
Even if we hadn't been so lucky to see the whales, the kayaking was blissful and it was just astounding that Caleb had an answer for virtually every question we had. Toward the end, we joked while paddling through a few afternoon choppy seas "We must be able to come up with a question!" "What doesn't he know?" And then, we just laughed.
It was a perfect trip! I would recommend the three-day kayaking trip to anyone with reasonable kayaking skills. And being that we were in tandems, that makes the trip that much more enjoyable. Teamwork Rules!!! Thanks to Sea Quest for answering pre-trip questions and special thanks to the incredible Caleb and Paige.
