Off the shores of the Tongass National Forest, you will find our floating office!

If you have ever dreamed of viewing the wilds of Alaska from the water then this boat & kayak tour is for you! Escape to the uninhabited and picturesque waters that take you to a beautiful place that's only a few nautical miles from the cruise ship docks.

Start the journey at the rain gauge and continue on a short stroll to our warm, dry small craft is harbored at Thomas Basin. There is plenty of storage space in the floating office on the boat for shopping bags and backpacks so that you can comfortably enjoy the best views of Ketchikan from the water. Let our local owners take you on their boat out of town to the kayak location.

The kayaking location will be dependent on the weather, tides, and wildlife. Get geared up in high-quality equipment and expedition-style tandem kayaks. Whether you are a first-time paddler or a seasoned veteran you will be super comfortable and stable. You'll enjoy three full hours on the water as you kayak a route along the shore of a remote Island.

Experience the amazing intertidal ecosystem from a paddle distance away in the tranquility of the Tongass National Forest coastline. There will be a chance to see everything from sea stars, jellyfish, bald eagles to the occasional humpback whale, black bear, and killer whales!

Finish the trip with a snack that consists of Alaskan smoked salmon and beverages.
