My friend and I went to visit Ketchikan in March and really wanted to sea kayak. No one else in town was guiding at this time but I called Howard and he agreed to take us out. We had such a wonderful time with him and he was very kind. He spent a lot of time showing us fish, starfish,... More

Our family went out with Ketchikan Kayak Tours and we had a blast. Although the weather was rainy and chilly, we still had fun and felt close to nature being right at water's level. We saw starfish, a sea lion, jellyfish, a few jumping salmon and some bald eagles (one of which we snuck right up on while being stealthy... More

If you could spend months in constructing a perfect experience that combines fabulous Alaska views, an expert & skilled guide with an opportunity to view sea life and eagles from a tandem kayak look no more! We were met at our ship promptly and driven ~20 km to Knudson Cove. After distributing safety and kayak equipment and a safety brief,... More

We had an absolutely amazing time with Howard. He is an informative, personable and delightful guide. Equipment was the best. Very safe adventure. We saw and heard whales far and near. Learned about the birds as a whale marker. Everywhere we kayaked there were interesting nooks, crannies and interesting ecosystems to view. Photos never did the sights justice. There were... More

Howard is a great guide. It is clear he and the other guides are very passionate about nature and what they do. I learned a lot about all the sea creatures, birds and land animals we saw and about ones we didn't. The marina the tours leave from are secluded away from all the touristy areas. Howard conveniently picks you... More

We found Ketchikan Kayak here on TripAdvisor and decided to book a trip because of all the great reviews. From start to finish we had a great experience. Several months before our trip I called to ask questions since we were coming in via Cruise Ship and Howard answered the phone. He was happy to answer all of my questions.... More

Our family of four (parents, a young adult, and a teenager) took a week-long Alaskan cruise. The primary reason for the trip was to see wildlife, glaciers, and other natural wonders. In preparing for our trip, I checked TripAdvisor and noticed that a main attraction in Ketchikan is kayaking and that Ketchikan Kayak Company is very highly rated. I fully... More

Kayaking was fun. Affordable. Guide(s) were pleasant. Saw many interesting things, thanks to the low tide. Would have liked to see more wildlife, but that is unpredictable. Not too physically exerting. Would recommend.

I truly loved this trip. We kayaked so I got a good amount of arm workout but for the most part we coasted along the cliffs and looked at starfish, sea life and nature. The skies were clear, the sun was shinning that water was clean and fresh and i could have gone on forever. The seals the guide tried... More
