We were on an Alaskan cruise with Celebrity Mercury and wanted some activity to off-set the continuous eating. Our experience with Southeast Sea Kayaks was a really good one. We were the only two people going out at that particular time and it was amazing to have all that personal attention. Apparently most people on a cruise don't want to... more

We've taken two tours with Southeast Sea Kayaks and both were excellent. In 7/05 my husband and I took the flight/sea option-it was just the two of us, I had never kayaked, but had a great time exploring the area-the salmon picnic snack was tasty, and the flight tour was gorgeous. This summer we returned to Alaska on a princess... more

We had never kayaked before, but still had a good time! Beautiful scenery, helpful, kind instructors, and the fact that they outfitted us in super waterproof rain gear meant we all had fun. Recommended for families with energy to spare, and for people who aren't afraid of sore arms! more

I read wonderful reviews and decided to book our Ketchikan excursion with Southeast Sea Kayaks. I initially booked the Orcas Cove 4 hour kayak excursion. When our cruise ship arrived, the weather was cold, rainy, windy, and the water swells were 2-3 feet. Not ideal kayaking conditions for a first-timer. Kaylee our guide and instructor told us it was too... more

My husband and I and our four children ages 5, 8, 14 and 18 took the short tour. The website said age 6 minimum, but I called and they said 5 was close enough. We had 2 three person kayaks with the 2 younger kids in the middle seats. That worked great. Kaylee was our guide and she did a... more

Nine of us, ranging in age from 14 to 60, booked the four-hour Orcas Cove kayaking trip. We met our guide close to the ship, and she drove us to their store so we could store a few belongings (if we wanted, you could also leave them on the boat that took you to the cove). Once we arrived at... more

This was some of the most fun our family had while on a cruise to Alaska this past May 2009. None of us is physically fit, and were a bit anxious over being able to handle the amount of paddling needed. But we made it, with great photos and memories of the entire trip. Our guides were fantastic, and made... more

I spent half a day kayaking with Southeast Seas and it was the best day of my entire vacation! We were met at the rain gauge in Ketchikan and then headed down to the office for gear and some quick instructions. After just a few minutes there, we went by boat to the island and were kayaking in no time.... more

My twin 13 year olds and I took the 2.5 hour kayak tour. Although my daughter decided that she didn't feel like paddling mid-way through the trip, we had a great time and it was a highlight of our time in Alaska. It rained the entire time, so there wasn't much in the way of wildlife. We mostly stayed dry... more

Saw this tour offered in the "Northern Lights" and "TourSaver" coupon books prior to our cruise up the Inside Passage of Alaska. Turned-out to be one of the two best tours (Denali glacier landing being the other) during our vacation! Princess Cruises only allowed us 6-hours in Ketchikan, and did not list this tour through thier website. It turns our... more
