Kayak and Boat Small Group Tour

Overview
Come explore like the locals do! We get out and away from the crowds of town on our boat with the smallest tour size on the island (4 people in a mixed group of guests maximum)! Our boat & kayak tour is for anyone who ever dreamed of seeing the wilds of Alaska from the water.

With 3 full hours on the water you will see a range of marine and inter-tidal life. With our comfortable, high speed boat we aren't tied to the waters you can reach from a dock departing kayak tour.
We go where the best water and the most wildlife is on every tour. We can’t make any promises on behalf of mother nature but regularly see everything from sea stars, jellyfish, seals, and bald eagles to the occasional humpback whale, black bear, and of course the ever elusive orca!
*Max 6 guests upon group request.

We booked this Kayak trip with Tim and Mary after reading many of the reviews. We arrived via Ovation of the Seas on June 19. It was a cloudy, cool day but our kayaking experience was amazing. It was a girl's trip...grandmother, daughter and granddaughters which everyone but me (the grandmother) had been kayaking before. Tim was so patient with everyone and put me at ease right away with my first kayak experience. Tim shared so much of his knowledge about the area and sea life while we were our adventure. It truly was a fun and educational experience. After we got back on the boat, we enjoyed some great smoke salmon. By the time we got back to the dock, Tim and Mary seemed like family. I'm so happy we were able to find them and book our kayaking adventure with them. Thank you Tim and Mary for a memorable experience! Hope to see you again sometime!

If your goal in writing this was to make Mary and I smile you definitely succeeded. It was lovely to be a part of your families experience up here and we hope to see you again as well! Best, Tim

I had booked a solo tour, I.e., paying the two person minimum, because Tim offered exactly what I was looking for and after all, nothing is inexpensive in southeast Alaska. The weather suddenly turned stormy the day before and was forecast to last through my stay in Ketchikan. I have a medical condition that would make kayaking in this type of weather difficult and unpleasant. Tim was gracious in cancelling my reservation and providing a full refund. He also gave me information on other small tours that would let me hike and experience Ketchikan from the water without kayaking. I am so sorry not to do his tour, but highly recommend his company and wish you better luck!

We had a great time. Tim and Mary are great people with a lot of knowledge about the area, wildlife, and ecosystems around Ketchikan. They also have a lot of entertaining stories. We had never kayaked, but that was no problem. The double kayak was very stable and easy for just about any fitness level. Book this trip, you’ll have a great time.
