We went on a 3-hour kayak tour to the lighthouse and had a really good time. We went on a weekday, and it was just the two of us and a guide on the tour. Our guide, one of the many Gregs associated with this company, was very pleasant and knowledgeable. I would recommend this company for kayak tours. More

Just as an FYI... there is a great little bar with Fantastic views of the Seattle skyline(where you rent the kayaks) . We has some clam chowder (ok) and crab... More

My wife and I had a great time in the tandem kayak. Though it was a little unnerving at first to get strapped in and get that cover put over you to prevent getting wet, the instructors made the experience rather relaxing. We loved the kayaking. Our group had a mix of people, sonme were fast, and some were slow,... More

I took the lighthouse tour. I'm not sure if I would call it a tour. We didn't even get out of the kayaks at the lighthouse (we got out later on, on the way back to rest and get more water). I'm not sure if our tour guide gave any history on the lighthouse becaues he was well ahead of... More

Wow, I took this tour with my wife and all I can say is hats-off to this company. This is a business I will continue to support. I consider myself a Seattleite and thought I knew about Elliot Bay, but during the course of the tour we not only had a kick @ss time, but learned things about the history... More

Went Kayaking in Elliot bay at the end of March. It was just me and my girlfriend on the tour and they were quite content with such a small group. Learned a lot about the area and our guide, Adam, kept everything at our pace so we didn't feel rushed. We were given tips about the local scene and places... More

My husband and I did the Elliott Bay tour over the weekend and it was fabulous! The guides (we had 2 instead of the normal 1 due to the large size of our group, 17) were fun, easy going, patient and very professional. I highly recommend this activity. One note, it was more of a work out than I imagined,... More

I went on the sunset kayak tour while in Seattle with my wife. I spoke with several people around town while I was out there who didn't even know these tours existed. That is a surprise to me because this little hidden gem was one of our favorite activities while out there. Neither of us had kayaked before, which was... More

This is a great city so what better place to be on the water looking at the skyline and the mountains. We went in May and did not see much marine life, but the kayak excursion was one of our favorite activities. The kayaks are great and guides offer plenty of training/advice. This is a great getaway to get one... More

In late September 2008 my wife and I visited Seattle for four days and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. One of the highlights was a kayak trip with Alki Kayaks in West Seattle. On Saturday we took a short water taxi ride across Elliot Bay to Seacrest Dock in West Seattle. At the end of the landing dock is a very... More
