Experience The Trip
Immerse yourself in the wonder of Auke Bay with our captivating coastal Alaska kayak tour adventure. Your journey commences with comprehensive instruction from our experienced guides on paddling techniques and essential safety procedures, ensuring you’re well-prepared for the upcoming aquatic exploration.
With our double kayaks at the ready, you’ll embark with your group guided by our experienced leader. As you navigate through the picturesque harbor, you’ll pass a charming array of commercial fishing vessels, sailboats, live-aboard boats, and the occasional private yacht. Your seasoned guide will carefully evaluate the day’s tides and weather conditions to select the ideal route, leading you on an enthralling journey down the coast past oceanfront homes to unspoiled islands. Experience an array of stunning views on the ocean set against the backdrop of majestic mountain peaks.

During the summer months, you’ll likely encounter leaping salmon and inquisitive harbor seals as you glide over shallow waters. Keep a watchful eye for the delicate beauty of starfish and the mesmerizing world of anemones. Don’t forget to look to the skies, where graceful eagles often soar overhead, scanning the landscape in search of their next meal.
