Kayak With Whales in Southeast Alaska
An unforgettable wildlife adventure begins in Juneau, Alaska, as guests board a comfortable motorboat and travel through the Inside Passage toward the Channel Islands State Marine Park. Known for its abundant marine life and spectacular scenery, the area offers an exciting opportunity to explore one of Southeast Alaska’s remarkable coastal ecosystems.
The journey begins with a scenic wildlife cruise, where guests can watch for humpback whales, orcas, Steller sea lions, harbor seals, porpoises, and a variety of seabirds. Experienced guides and the boat captain share local knowledge while searching the waters for wildlife, creating an engaging experience surrounded by snow-capped mountains and distant glaciers.
After reaching a secluded island beach, participants receive an introduction to tandem kayaks before setting out on the peaceful waters. The kayaking portion offers a closer perspective of the surrounding landscape and wildlife, while experienced guides provide support throughout the adventure. The experience is designed for different ability levels, although participants should be comfortable paddling a tandem kayak for an extended period.
The full experience includes transportation, boat travel, kayaking equipment, rain gear, permits, snacks, lunch, and professional guidance. The adventure operates in most weather conditions, so guests should dress appropriately for wet and cool conditions. Although whale sightings cannot be guaranteed, the Juneau region is renowned for its rich marine life and offers excellent opportunities to experience the wild beauty of Alaska from both the water and shore.
