Once in Haines, your expert guides will outfit you with all of the necessary gear and provide instruction for all ability levels.

Itinerary

Your 2 person kayaks will be set up on the beach & will be short 5-minute walk from the ferry pier. We’ll choose from a variety of beautiful ocean paddles depending on sea conditions and weather on the day of the tour. Your tour guides will outfit you with a PFD, spray skirt & ponchos, if needed. After a safety briefing and equipment introduction/fitting, you are off and paddling. You will be on the water for about 2 hours. We have seen eagles, sea lions, seals, dall porpoise, humpback whales or other marine wildlife along our way. Your tour guide is an expert naturalist and will share their extensive knowledge about the fjord, marine wildlife and local geography. We will likely stop off at a remote beach midway through the excursion to stretch your legs and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Southeast Alaska. Once off the water, stay on the beach to enjoy a waterside picnic-style lunch. *In an instance where ocean conditions are not suitable, we will move to Chilkoot Lake. This backup location is surrounded by mountains with waterfalls and salmon spawning beds. **Wildlife sightings are not a guarantee**

Meeting and pickup

Your guide will meet you at the end of the pier where your ship is in port. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to departure time to fill out required paperwork.
