The weather was nice and there were plenty of wildlife. Bald Eagles were a little loud. Jacob & Keenan did a good job explaining the waterlife creatures

Our ship pulled up to port with gloriously blue skies. The Eagle Island Sea Kayak group was easy to find on the dock and the 30 minute bus trip to the Southeast Exposure Outdoor Adventure Center was comfortable and efficient. Our driver Angie shared some fun facts about Ketchikan along the way. When we arrived at the adventure center, our guides Ali and Jacob were easy going, knowledgeable and experienced. They went out of there way to make sure everyone had a comfortable and enjoyable experience. So far the trip has been great… here’s where it gets outstanding, perhaps once in a lifetime. Before we even get in the kayaks, we can see humpback whales in the cove just off shore. It quickly became apparent to our guides that they were bubble feeding. If you are unfamiliar with this phenomenon, Google it now. It was majestic to witness! In brief, a group of whales work in cooperation circling about in the water creating a bubble net. This traps fish and drives them to the surface. It all culminates with the whales bursting forth on the surface with their giant mouths gaping open to feed on the marine feast. Our guides polled the group and we all agreed to abandon the prescribed kayak route and we spent the entire time following the whales around the cove as this awesome event occurred over and over. The sea was like glass, the whales were epic, the weather was ideal and our guides were amazing. I am confident that no matter the time of year, wildlife, weather or conditions your experience will be unique and wonderful with this crew.

Keenan gave us the choice of the regular tour or to follow the whale pod which was bubble feeding. We spent hours kayaking near 4 whales! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! Oh, and the two sea lion mascots that play near their dock was another unexpected treat!
