My wife and I got lucky with a very beautiful day to Kayak in this picturesque area. Our guide Todd, was very informative, easy to talk to and experienced in his trade. Got a whole bunch of useful info and had a super fun time! Our trek, 1-4pm, led us to Salmon streams packed with fish and gulls then a waterfall crowded with more gulls than your eyes could comprehend. All this while exploring open waters and shorelines. I would recommend this to anyone.. especially to beginners. Go see Whittier! The tunnel leading into the town is awesome!

I booked this trip after doing some research and found that it was quite reasonably priced compared to other places I found, was a new adventure (different than kayaking in a lake), and had great reviews. The owner Peter is very responsive via email and it was easy to reserve our spot. Better yet, we did not need to put down any deposit to hold our spot. On the day of the tour, I just called to confirm our tour and also make sure that the weather was okay for kayaking (you never know since it's Whittier). Once there, we were given all the clothes we needed to make sure we would stay warm and dry. They do a really great job of putting you in all the right gear. Our guide, Taylor, was fantastic. The trip was supposed to be their shorter 3-hour one, but she spent extra time with us and we never felt rushed. She was also really friendly and knowledgeable about the different birds we saw, the plants, and the glaciers around us. My husband likes to bend rules sometimes, and she was very professional and friendly with reminding him to follow the rules, and patient too. Overall, she was just amazing. We took a break halfway and went on this really neat trail. Alaska Sea Kayakers also supplies some snacks which was nice. (We also saw the cutest sea otter.) I will say - although advertised as \easier\ exercise, this is still quite a workout. We all felt tired after the 7-mile trip and it was by no means easy for us. However, Alaska Sea Kayakers will accommodate you - so if you are more fit, they can go faster and further with you; if you are slower and get tired more easily like we did, they will slow down for you. Because this was so tiring and hard to do, not sure if we will do it again in the near future, but definitely worth doing at least once in your life to have the experience.
My husband and I booked a sea Kayaking adventure through Alaska Sea Kayakers in July 2019. We booked the Kittiwake Tour. Upon arriving, the owner was really laid back and nice. We were assigned a guide named Katelyn and she was absolutely wonderful. We were the only kayakers in our group. We expected to have to be with a large group, but it was private. It was great! Our guide also took us up and showed us which fresh berries were edible, which was information I used throughout my whole trip while hiking. The business provided everything we needed for the trip. Rubber boots, spray skirt, and dry bag were all provided.
I want to publicly thank Peter, the owner of this business who so generously lent us 2 life vests when we came over to paddle and forgot them. Without any hesitation or charge he gave us 2 vests and made our day...that is service and hospitality...thank you Peter!
Great company! They outfit you with everything you need to stay warm, dry, and comfortable. Even socks, if needed. The owner is super friendly. The guides are friendly, knowledgeable and care about our safety in the water. Thank you for a wonderful experience on a rare sunny day in Whittier!
