Paddle With Whales Kayak Adventure

OVERVIEW

Slip into the heart of Alaska’s wild beauty on an unforgettable kayaking adventure in the pristine Channel Islands State Marine Park. After a scenic cruise surrounded by snow‑capped peaks of the surrounding mountain ranges, you’ll launch a tandem kayak into rich, wildlife‑filled waters where nature takes center stage. From the quiet of your kayak, witness one of Alaska’s most awe‑inspiring sights—massive humpback whales feeding in their natural habitat. The experience is intimate, thrilling, and deeply humbling. These nutrient‑rich waters are also home to orcas, porpoises, harbor seals, and Steller sea lions, while bald eagles soar overhead and Sitka black‑tailed deer roam the shoreline. Few experiences connect you to Alaska’s wilderness as powerfully as paddling alongside its most iconic residents.
