Kayaking around Eagle Island was our best excursion yet. The guide was very personable, professional yet he shared in the excitement and joy of the day. Charlie went beyond in making it a great experience for us. Two thumbs up.

Amazing Alaskan experience unlike any others BECAUSE: You are right on the water, close to the marine life as you can get. Kayaks are stable and easily used, having a rudder in the stern. KATIE and FAITH are your guides and they are cute as buttons. So grateful to have chosen this adventure!

My daughter & I enjoyed the kayaking part of this excursion. The guides were wonderful, very organized and thorough. We felt it was a little lacking in what we were able to see. Perhaps it was the time, we went on the early excursion. We had quite a bit of rain, but we did manage to enjoy the experience. I would recommend this adventure as the views were very impressive-especially the eagle watching.

Nancy and Daughter, Thanks for coming along with us on a paddle in Ketchikan on the Eagle Island Sea Kayaking Tour. So glad you were able to enjoy the view! The tour can very in excitement when wildlife presents itself, as obviously wildlife is on its own time.

What a great 1st time sea kayaking...

What a great 1st time sea kayaking experience. From the pick-up to the drop-off and in between, I was well attended to and taken care of. The guides were great - I believe Luke and Rainee were my group's leads - and they not only showed up some amazing purple, orange, and nearly yellow starfish, we saw a large bald eagles' nest and even a sea lion. The water was perfect and so was the experience.

We spent a wonderful rainy morning kayaking around the bay and got to see eagles, starfish, seals and even some salmon jumping. Our guide, Abby, was terrific and safety was a top priority. I was impressed with the ease of communication with this company. They provided waterproof gear and skirts for the kayaks that kept us nice and dry.
