We were fortunate to have scheduled this in September, despite coming from a 4,000 passenger ship. Our kayak journey consisted of the four of us and a guide. We traversed a seaway, circled an island, saw eagles, seals, and tidal creatures. We had learned and continuous information from our very amenable guide, Lucy. It was a morning well-spent.

Perfect kayak tour in and around Eagle Island
Our original tour was scheduled through the cruise line but it was cancelled. Then we found it on Cool Destinations. The morning of, we called at 6:45 for the tour starting at 7:30. They informed us that it was changed to 10, but, they were willing to pick us up still at Ward Cove. The bus driver was vert friendly. Brendon was an amazingly knowledgeable guide. He pointed out the ea urchants, star fish, eagles, sea lions, sea cucumbers, harbor seals and mink. It was Sept. In Ketchikan, 60 deg and sunny, low tide, clear, and calm. What a fantastic experience.

so much fun
We had a wonderful time on the Ketchikan Kayak Eco-Tour! The scenery was beautiful, the kayaking was fun and relaxing, and it was a great way to experience Alaska from the water. Everything was well organized, and the guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable throughout the tour. It was a great experience for our whole family and definitely one of the highlights of our time in Ketchikan. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely wonderful whale-watching adventure! Dave was our guide, and he kept the entire trip lively and fun with his hilarious commentary. He and his family were incredibly gracious hosts and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.We were fortunate enough to see a humpback whale, bald eagles, seals, salmon, and even a Dungeness crab! Dave made it a priority to find as much wildlife as possible and clearly put a lot of effort into making sure we had the best experience possible.It was an unforgettable experience, and we would 100% book with them again. Highly recommend!Thank you so much for the photos, Michelle! We will cherish them and the memories we made together for years to come!

The glacier was amazing!...
The glacier was amazing! We took the train from anchorage to spencer lake where we met our 4 guides; each of them were very knowledgeable. We kayaked to the glacier, about an hour, and did a short hike to a view point to get a better view of the glacier. We kayaked back and had lunch. We then took the train a bit more south where we saw a moose and 3 bear cubs. Overall it was an amazing experience and would definitely recommend.

My group was so fortunate to have Reina and Mike as our guides on our whale watch and paddle adventure. Firstly, they were so friendly. My group with Reina learned so much, and she was more excited to see the Orcas than most of us, and that felt really really fun. It reaffirmed my love for whales. Thanks for an awesome trip ABAK!
