A Family Friendly Tour

We leave from our waterfront location and go island hopping by kayak looking for wildlife in the protected waterways around Pennock, Snow and Gravina Islands. We follow the shoreline, paddling at times beneath huge branches stretching out over the shore where the rainforest reaches down to the water’s edge. An active Bald Eagle’s nest offers the opportunity to see these great birds nesting. Salmon returning to spawn leap around the kayaks and occasionally we’ll watch as eagles swoop down to snatch one from the surface and return it to the nest to feed their young.

Seals follow the dip of our paddles and brilliantly colored starfish are clearly visible beneath the kayaks in the crystal clear water. Kingfishers and Great Blue Herons feed along the shore and Raven is ever present.

Although there are no guarantees on seeing whales we can see pods of Humpbacks and Orcas. Occasionally we will paddle with Alaska’s endangered Stellar Sea Lions. This trip also offers the opportunity to see Ketchikan’s historic waterfront and to paddle alongside the buildings built on pilings over the water. Creek Street’s old houses and the historic buildings of the frontier red light district lean out over us as we paddle upstream with the returning salmon.

No experience is necessary for this kayaking adventure. Minimum age to participate is six years old. We have triple kayaks that can cater to our younger paddlers. All equipment is provided including dry bags for your cameras, binoculars to share and hydrophones so we can listen to the marine life beneath the water. Raingear is also provided. We only use lightweight fiberglass kayaks, not plastic, for your comfort and enjoyment.
