Unforgettable Alaskan Float Plane & Kayak Adventure - Highly Recommended! If you're looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Alaska, this float plane and kayak tour is an absolute must. From start to finish, everything was incredibly well-organized and professionally run. The float plane ride alone was worth the trip â soaring over pristine forests, glacier-fed lakes, and rugged mountains was breathtaking. Seeing Alaska from the air gave me a whole new appreciation for its vast and untouched beauty. After a smooth water landing, we transitioned into the kayaking portion of the tour, which was equally amazing. Paddling through crystal-clear waters surrounded by towering peaks and lush wilderness felt like something out of a nature documentary. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the area. They pointed out wildlife, shared interesting facts about the local ecosystem, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. What really stood out to me was how peaceful and remote it all felt. It wasn t touristy or overcrowded â it felt like we had a little piece of wild Alaska all to ourselves. I highly recommend this tour. Whether you're an adventure junkie or just someone who appreciates nature and wants to do something truly unique, this tour is a perfect choice. I came away with stunning photos, great memories, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of Alaska.
