Kayaking in Alaska was neat! Our guide struggled to help my tall partner into the kayak. Saw some salmon, star fish, and sea urchins. We were very concerned with missing our cruise.

Probably one of the best excursions we did. My sister and I did this one. The description says strenuous, but i've never kayaked before and it was easy. Water was calm and it was beautiful. If it's windy then you may have more issues but we had no waves. You take a smaller boat out to where the coves and kayaks are located. Once you get going it is so peaceful! Small groups. You follow your guide but didn't have stay in a line. You could explore in the area. So many starfish or sea stars. Sea Urchins, little crabs, we saw a mink, abalone. You don't get wet as you wear a covering from your waist down that connects to the kayak. After kayaking you went back to the main covered meeting area and had some snacks, coffee or juice, hot chocolate. Would highly recommend!
