We had an incredible kayaking trip in Alaska. Our guide was excellent—knowledgeable, kind, and always attentive to our group. The highlight was spotting sea otters floating nearby and harbor seals curiously watching us as we paddled. The entire experience felt safe and well-organized.

I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! The scenery was gorgeous, our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the kayaking was very doable even for beginners.

Calm relaxing and knowledgeable workers. We unified not see any wildlife except for bald eagles. They were accommodating with pick up and drop off which was great.

We had a wonderful time on our tour with Jackson! This was my first sea kayak experience and the whole staff made this super easy and fun. Since it ended up just being my husband and I on the morning tour, we were able to kayak all the way to bridal veil falls. Saw lots of eagles, a seal, and a jellyfish. The equipment was so comfortable! The kayak is super stable and the rudder helps a ton. The company provides rain gear and neoprene pogies as needed, but if you have your own equipment they let you use whatever is most comfortable.

Grace was awesome! We learned so much from her :) loved how much she clearly likes her job! Very attentive to her guests.

Very good experience. The water was very smooth for our morning tour, which our guide said Is not always the case. We didn't see much in the way of wildlife-a couple eagles and otters. Our guide was very friendly and helpful. They supplied waterproof pants, rains coats and boots. I recommend, yes I believe so.

Grace, our guide, was awesome — great kayaking instruction and education on the sights. Saw sea lions, otters, eagles, gorgeous views, and met some nice folks. Highly recommend!

Came to Alaska on our honeymoon from Florida. Hands down the highlight of our trip!! 10/10 very knowledgeable guides and warm drinks to boot, awesome!! (P.S Bring binoculars!)

The wildlife we saw was amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and offered a lot of information. We ended up doing a hike that she had told us about later in the day after our kayak trip. Would definitely do this trip again if we get back to Seward.

The tour started with a punctual pickup at out VRBO cabin. We were brought to the office where we were provided all of the rain gear (jacket, pants, boots, gloves) to keep us dry. We were then transported to Resurrection Bay
where we boarded our two-man kayaks. As we prepared to enter the water the rain stopped and it began to clear. We kayaked for about an hour before turning around for the return to shore (2 hours on the water). We saw numerous seals, sea otters, and a family of river otters frolicking on shore. We also saw many bald eagles and an occassional salmon. Our guide, Kellie, was wonderful. She provided interesting facts about the wild life, mountains, and Seward/ Alaska in general. We were very happy with the experience she provided. This trip requires only moderate physical exertion and requires the ability to paddle along with your partner at a very comfortably pace. I would recommend this trip to anyone whom wants to take in the beauty of Seward, the surrounding mountains, and the wildlife while paddling on the bay. This was a truly memorable and enjoyable excursion for us

The bay was beautiful especially in the morning when we went about 8:30am. The little town of Seward was also very beautiful with its surrounding mountains. However the "tour" wasn't really a tour.
The lady who helped us was nice and we liked that they were very good with setting us up with our safety gear and getting us properly situated in our kayaks.
Once we got going we were told to follow the other kayak in front of us (there was only another couple with us, so just 2 kayaks plus the instructor) and during the trip she was giving them a tour telling them about the bay and the different animals also asking them how their trip was and recommended other things for them to do. We were just left paddling behind trying to make out what she was saying and somtimes just quietly listening to their conversations when we were close enough to hear. She would glance back here and there to see we weren't left behind but that's it.
We all were asked if we wanted to paddle to a beach nearby or one that's further. We were told it was worth it if we went out further so we all agreed to go for the longer route. Once we got there she saw we were running out of time and just said we won't make it and had to turn back for the bus. So we never got out of our kayaks.
It felt like it was just a rushed trip. Get in get out. Paid alot of money too and also tipped her. She took some pictures and said she had our numbers and would text them, we never received anything. Don't recommend for the price. You don't get a tour, you get a glance of the bay and then you come back.

Kayaking in the rain was very peaceful. Our guide, Stewart was very knowledgeable about the area, and history. He was very helpful as a guide on kayaking safety. We saw bald eagles, sea otters, and a seal. Great adventure.

My wife tested positive for Covid a day before the tour and the company felt that this was not a valid reason to cancel and issue a refund. There are other more reputable tour companies to use for this trip.

Got to see wildlife and learned about the how the land evolved and thrived after the glaciers receeded
Mazie_G, Aug 2024
This was a great experience! Our guide Spencer was the best! He was even able to get some great photos of us in our kayaks with the mountains around us! Would definitely recommend this to anyone coming down to Kenai!
Ryan_B, Aug 2024
Very cool trip. Our guide was very informative and concerned for our safety. Saw lots of eagles, otters, beautiful mountains and glaciers. We were in a group with slow kayakers so we didn’t get to go far.
Michelle_R, Aug 2024
We had a beautiful day for kayaking. Our guide, Olivia was knowledgeable about the land features and animals we were lucky enough to see.
Stephanie_H, Aug 2024
We had a great paddle with Logan on a beautiful morning. The view was fantastic; we saw an otter and a few birds. The kayaking was easy; we learned a lot about the local area; this is a good way to get a different view of the bay. We are a family of 4 with 2 older teen daughters

Paddling with wonderful scenery. Unfortunately, the other couple on the trip , not our friends who were with us, held us back because they were unable to keep up with us and it was clear that our guide, Doug,, did not wish to stop mid trip and have everyone get out and do a hike because he would have had to pull up the kayak with the other couple who must have weighed a total of 550 to. 600 lbs. Doug went out of his way to accommodate them and to be kind but we all felt that this sacrificed part of the trip for us.
Anna_H, Jul 2024
Totally epic!! Guide was so fun and adapted to our group’s skill level (5 ppl). We saw otters, seals, sea lion, and bald eagles from the kayak. Great bang for your buck.
Garrett_P, Jun 2024
Very relaxing paddle, great for first timers, this is not for adventure seekers. Weather and the guide were great!

So much fun with the best guides! Logan and Stu were so knowledgeable and friendly. The van picked us up at our hotel and d truth g went very smoothly. Boots and rain gear were provided but we didn’t end up needing them because it was such a beautiful day. We really had the best time! Highly recommend this company.

The weather was perfect and the view was amazing. Decklan was a great guide and all crew members were great to interact with.

Thanks for letting us show you our little slice of Alaskan wilderness. Never stop exploring!

Wasn't able to complete the trip due to health. But the tour guide made contact with me on the morning of the event and was very understanding.
