We lucked out with a calm, beautiful day the whole trip was awesome and Zack our tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining! The hike is not bad at all but the 5 miles on the kayak is hard after a while. We did just over 14 miles of travel so be prepared!

Our guide Issac was tremendous. He was energetic, helpful, informative and adventurous. I was extremely worried about kayaking in the open ocean but it went pretty smoothly overall. I had along my 13 & 14 year old sons who were awe struck the entire time and loved every second.

We had a wonderful time on this excursion! We saw many sea otters, bald eagles, and even a humpback whale from our kayaks. Our guide Ron was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and personable. He made sure everyone had a lot of fun and was very attentive to safety too. This is a must do trip if you like to kayak and hike.

My friend and I were a little hesitant because we had never kayaked before, but Emily and Issac were wonderful. They were encouraging, excellent at helping us with tricky waves, and how to make the most of our time in the water. I was really fascinated by the WWII fort. There are so many paths and buildings for storage that are still left. I kept wondering how hard it must have been to haul all the materials up by jeep or small truck, and having to create a wide enough road first! I recommend that you should be in pretty good shape--and not to do any trail riding the next day (that was a mistake after all the steering). It was a great adventure with great guides.

Hard working crew anchored on safety.
Very scenic / sheer beauty of the Resurection Bay shotelines and majestic cliffs. When a sea-otter greets you you know it’s going tonbe a fun day.
Definitely an Alaskan all-weather experience.
