Enjoy the mind blowing scenery in PWS with knowledgeable guides who are just as stoked to be there as you are. They did a great job keeping us comfortable in the Alaskan elements and worked very hard to accommodate my husband and I with other groups so we could meet the minimum number for the trip. Great company!

Alaska Sea Kayakers was a perfect way to spend an afternoon in Whittier! They were organized, on time, the gear was great and they provided helpful instruction to both novices and longtime kayakers alike. The 360 degree views while you're on Prince William Sound - of glaciers, waterfalls, inlets and more, was unbelievable. Our guide was awesome and was able to quickly read the group and understand that we were up for more than just your standard trip. He provided just enough information about the area and what we were looking at, but not too much that it distracted us from our own adventure and discoveries. I loved this so much I even bought a sweatshirt to bring back to Brooklyn, NY to show off! Not to mention, we ran into our guide a few hours later and he took us on a hike in the area just for fun!

What an amazing experience! My husband and I were looking for an active day trip in early August, and we were not disappointed! Marshall, our guide, took us to see the humpy salmon swim up a creek and then over to the largest black-footed kittiwake aviary in the world! We got to see the kittiwakes chase off a bald eagle. There were great views of glaciers too! Marshall was extremely knowledgeable of the area and the wildlife.
I loved that I didn’t have to pay until I got there as they were watching the weather to ensure a good day on the water.
The activity was not to rigorous, and we were warm and dry due to the rain gear provided at the shop. This is a good activity for beginners who want an active tour of one of the most beautiful places in Alaska!

This was highly recommended, which was why it was so disappointing to spend this kind of money on this experience. This was supposed to be the highlight of our Alaskan trip, and I 100% would have spent this money on something else. Advice to others to maybe have a better experience: Have a partner, don't get stuck in a kayak with the guide. Maybe do it earlier in the tourist season, not August, when the guides are more enthusiastic and less annoyed with the tourists. Research on your own if you want to learn more about the area, etc and don't hope that the guides will offer much information, or encourage any unique experiences while out there.

We had hiked and biked so time to use the arms and get out on the water. We called in the morning and picked up the last 2 reservations for a half day kayak starting at 1. The lady that checked us in was very pleasant and helpful. Our guides, Ian and Ryan were awesome. We were on the water from 2-5pm. It was a perfect blue sky day. They have waterproof boots if you want them - the water is very cold but the drips from the oars felt good on a warm 60 degree day. We saw waterfalls, a bald eagle, kittiwake rookery (bird haven between 2 waterfalls) and a few otters. The backdrop was stunning with the mountains and glaciers. The little town of Whittier was cute and fun to take the 2.5 mile single road tunnel to get there but check the schedule before heading out as it runs on the half hour.

We did the Blackstone bay tour and holy cow, did it show up!!! Incredible tour. The beauty really left us quite speechless. A once in a lifetime experience!! If you are adventurous and active, you will be able to do this tour! Definitely need a sense of adventure, love the outdoors, and be in decent shape and you will have a wonderful time! Anthony was our tour guide and he was awesome!!!! Don’t let the weather stop you from booking this tour. The weather in anchorage or Whittier might be one way but the weather in Blackstone bay may be different!! A little rain never hurt anyone! Wear layers and you will be fine!

We (two couples in our 60's with kayak experience) did the full day Blackstone Bay trip. Communication with Pete prior to the trip was easy and helpful and our guide, Ryan, did a great job! He was very friendly, polite and helpful with the kayaks and helping me over the rocks in our rock scramble hike at the end. He even brought back a water bottle we left to Girdwood as he knew he lived near where we were staying...so thoughtful! We got lucky with dry, clear weather, so we saw some amazing scenery. We also saw a marmot at our lunch spot and two bears from a distance towards the end of our trip. Definitely tired by the end of the day, but we all enjoyed it. Thanks so much Pete and Ryan.

Amazing! We did the all day Blackstone Bay kayak trip. Unbelievable views of the glaciers. Kayaking thru glacier ice. It was a workout but totally doable ( 2 adults and 4 kids ages 18-12). Our guides (Todd and Anthony) were informative and helpful. It was truly an Alaskan adventure.

We had such an awesome day on the water with Alaska Sea Kayakers. Our tour guides were Calving and Natalie! They were awesome and geared our tour towards the people on it (Two different families with pre-teen/teen kids). I called and talked to Pete before we booked. He was excellent. I was worried we wouldn't do well since we had no kayaking experience and 3 kids. He was confident the tour would be suitable for all levels and he was right! We had a fantastic time! Highly recommend.
We are a family of 5. Kids are 16, 14, 11.

We did the Blackstone Glacier kayak and the local rookery tour. The people were very friendly and knowledgeable, the equipment was good and the offered more than we expected such as raingear and boots. The guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. We really enjoyed our experience with them and the places they took us.
