Ketchikan
Kayaking |

We leave from our waterfront
location and go island hopping by
kayak looking for wildlife in the
protected waterways around Pennock,
Snow and Gravina Islands. We paddle
beneath huge branches stretching
out over the shore where the rainforest
reaches down to the water’s edge.
An active Bald Eagle’s nest offers
the opportunity to see these great
birds nesting. Salmon returning to
spawn leap around the kayaks and
occasionally we’ll watch as eagles
swoop down to snatch one from the
surface and return it to the nest
to feed their young. Kingfishers
and Great Blue Herons feed along
the shore and Raven is ever present.
Although there are no guarantees
on seeing whales we may see pods
of Humpbacks and Orcas. Occasionally
we will paddle with Alaska’s endangered
Stellar Sea Lions. This trip also
offers the opportunity to see Ketchikan’s
historic waterfront and to paddle
alongside the buildings built on
pilings over the water. Creek Street’s
old houses and the historic buildings
of the frontier red light district
lean out over us as we paddle upstream
with the returning salmon. No experience
is necessary for this kayaking adventure.
Minimum age to participate is six
years old. We have triple kayaks
that can cater to our younger paddlers.
All equipment is provided including
dry bags for your cameras, binoculars
to share and hydrophones so we can
listen to the marine life beneath
the water. We only use lightweight fibreglass
kayaks, not plastic, for your comfort
and enjoyment.
