Our party of five guys booked a "Ultimate tour " with hike to glacier lake and kayaking around Yukon Island. The weather was gorgeous, sunny and warm and we cannot say enough good things about Alison and her staff (our guide Ben). Very friendly, outgoing and real people. Alison rescheduled the day of our trip on a very short notice,... more

We went on the full-day Yukon Island kayaking trip. You go in this cute little water taxi over to the island, where they start off with some introductory kayaking instructions. They have dry bags, so you can bring food, cameras, and layers without worrying about them getting wet. The guide was very knowledgable and pointed out sea life and features... more

My husband and I visited Homer in May 2007 hoping to kayak on our vacation. We were referred to True North Kayak Adventures by the Cosmic Kitchen restaurant. We talked to Mona on site and she explained what our options were, pricing and showed us maps of the tour. She was helpful and made us feel at ease about our... more

True North Kayak Adventures offers a very comfortable and relaxing kayak trip from Homer, AK. The office is conveniently located on the Spit in Homer. The main guide, who owns and started the business multiple years ago, delivers a thorough and helpful instructional lesson at the beginning of the day. The kayak trip covers beautiful scenery around the many islands... more

After seeing this site, I was compelled to write about a company in my own backyard here in Homer, Alaska, called True North Kayak. I moved to Homer in 1990 from Scottsdale, Arizona and it took me a bit of time to get acclimated to Alaska (I moved here with 100 pair of high heels, they're all flower planters now...)... more

My family had a wonderful camping trip in Kachemak Bay for 3 days. The scenery was unbelievable around the islands where True North has their base camp. Then we spent two nights and two days in the fjords. Campsites were beachside with some great meals. The first night the guide made Salmon with a white wine sauce. We hit the... more

We loved our kayaking experience with True North. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and our guide was patient and laid back. We were water taxied out to Yukon Island, which is filled with calm waters and gorgeous views of mountains, trees, and beautiful rock formations. We saw sea otters, puffins, jellyfish, starfish, and bald eagles. It was relaxing and... more

We took a fantastic 3-day, 2-night kayaking with True North. We're a family of 4 with an 9 year-old daughter and 7-year old son. True North outfitted us with a pair of 2-person kayaks and provided us with a guide for the 1st half-day to get us started. They also made arrangements for us to camp at Yurts on Tutka... more

Our family, two adults and two children (11 and 8), took a daylong kayaking trip with True North Adventures in July 2005. It truly was a highlight of our Alaska trip! We saw otters, huge starfish, had seals come so close they seemed to be playing with us, an Eagle still with the fish it had caught at its feet... more
