While on a cruise we booked this adventure through the online site that we booked our cruise with. My daughter (27) had concerns about getting wet as from previous experiences. No problem here. We were met by a great guide named Brandon who walked us to their office on the docks by the ships. We were outfitted completely with pants,... More

Shoretrips.com is a fabulous company! They were very friendly,helpful, and made booking so convenient and hassle free. Our kayaking experience surpassed our expectations. It was one of the highlights of our Alaska cruise. Our guides were top notch! They timely picked up and drop off. The salmon snack they provided was the best smoked salmon I've ever had. I would...

My partner and I did a two night trip to the Misty Fjords with South East Kayaks. It was back in 2008 and even though a few years have past I still regard it as the best thing I have ever done! It is far more convenient going on a tour with these guys as you get all the equipment... More

It was July 2011 and Greg from SE sea kayaks had just dropped us off in Misty Fiords for our eight day kayak adventure. With Greg's help we had planned our trip for months, ensuring we would be ready and safe as we paddled the splendor of Misty Fjords. As the trip began, no later than 15 minutes after Greg's... More

This was a highlite of our trip. The people in the company are really excellent to deal with. The scenery is awsome! We didn't really even come close to seeing any whales - a little deceiving from a kayak trip in "Orca Cove" - but we weren't disappointed because there was a lot of other things to take in. It...

We booked with Southeast Sea Kayaks before our Alaskan cruise. We also booked the combo package of kayaking and sea plane (Carlin Air) tour of Misty Fjords National Monument. Our family consisted of four inexperienced kayakers, ages 8, 14, 45 and 47. Making adventurous plans far in advance always sounds fun but when you get there family members can get... More

Our recent kayak trip, guided by Robert, was one of the highlights of our entire Alaskan visit. We paddled around Orcas Cove at our pace, while he shared history and lure of the area -- sights that were awe-inspiring. We had incredible views of seals and a breaching humpback whale that you could only get from a kayak. Greg and... More

We booked the half-day Orcas Cove Sea Kayaking trip during our cruise ship stop in Ketchikan, Alaska. It was cool and rainy, as it is most days in Ketchikan, but we were pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed our time on the tour. I can’t imagine how we would have gotten as much enjoyment spending the same amount of... More

We did the Orca's Cove kayak trip and had a fantastic time. They took us out by boat to a lovely spot where we got some instructions on how to paddle and then got out in the kayaks. It was great to get away from the crowds and we even saw some seals and eagles. The guide was lovely and... More
