I must admit I was a little nervous since being I am over 60 and have kayaked only once before. Don't let age or experience affect your decision to do this. Howard and his team are patient and will gently give you additional instructions once on the water (if needed). Howard was laid back and didn't rush us through the... More

You can kayak about any where in the US, but, kayaking at it's best. That is definately with Ketchikan kayak Co. Howard and his crew were wonderful. They have all the gear you need, if this is your first time not to worry. You are in good hands. The things you are able to see are amazing. I researched many... More

Howard McKim is the small business owner of Ketchican Kayak. All the apparel and equipment was provided, even a waterproof bag for our camera. (I didn't get wet at all.) Howard will take you out on the lake for over two hours. He takes his time to point out the wildlife we see along the way. We saw other kayak... More

Just coming from our cruise and took this tour. We were picked up at the port and driven over to their little office on the water to get all of the rain gear and such ( it stopped raining and was all Sun by the time we got into the water!) The guides were extremely knowledgeable and friendly and made... More

My wife and I were on the last cruise from Whittier to Vancouver Sept 2012 and were looking for a locale to take an excursion. With all the good reviews about Ketchikan Kayak Co. we contacted Howard and felt comfortable with what he offered. I was still a little apprehensive, after all, it's Alaska in September. When we went ashore,... More

I can't say enough good things about our kayaking trip with Ketchikan Kayak Co. We were staying downtown in Ketchikan without a car, and Howard came to pick us up for the 15 minute drive out to Knudson Cove. He also provided us with rain gear and dry bags for our cameras. The tour started by traveling along the shoreline... More

I was debating between 2 different kayaking companies. After more research we decided to go with Ketchikan Kayak Co. I emailed a few general questions and Thomas was very quick to respond. Thomas was very helpful! When we docked in Ketchikan Howard was there to meet us. Our kayaking trip was great. Howard told us about the different marine life/species.... More

This trip was the highlight of our amazing Alaska trip and definitely the best excursion we did. I loved this company before we even got to Alaska; when I was trying to decide between kayaking and going on a float plane, I emailed Ketchikan Kayak Company and told them I was torn between the two. Thomas told me that both... More

My family loved our kayaking tour - it was our favorite of all our Alaska excursions. Howard was a wonderful guide - very patient with our inexperience and very knowledgeable. He had wonderful experiences to relay all throughout the tour that helped us to understand what life in Alaska was truly like. It was also a unique way to experience... More

We picked this excursion based on the TA reviews and we were not disappointed. Howard was a wonderful Guide and the marina/harbor/island/seashore experience was terrific. Totally loved the sea stars and sea suns and views of the eagles. A 'must do'.
