My daughter and I will never forget this perfect day kayaking with Elisabeth and the rest of the kayaking tour crew. I had never been Kayaking before but with it was no problem after being shown what to do buy the experienced staff. Everyone was so nice and a pleasure to be with. What a thrill this was that everyone... More

We did this excursion in early June and absolutely loved it. The guides are knowledgeable and friendly and when (if) you find wildlife, they'll take the time to allow you to take photos. No rushing to get to the next spot on the tour. Another nice thing is they take small groups so you get to decide how long you... More

On our Alaskan cruise, we did not books any excursions except a kayak trip in Ketchikan and this was not booked through the cruise line. We are very much a go off and do your own thing, kind of couple so booking anything organized for us was out of the ordinary. Southeast Sea Kayaks was outstanding...professional, fun, organized and overall... More

My Wife, Daughter and I had our first Kayaking experience with Brendon at Southeast Sea. The whole experience was wonderful. First, everyone from the beginning to end was professional and helpful. They do an excellent job equipping and explaining what to do. Unlike some of the kayak tours that you go in a big bus to get to the kayaking... More

Our Orcas Cove kayak tour was a welcome reprise from the mob of cruise ship passengers in Ketchikan. Only the two of us had signed up for the early morning tour so it was just us with our guide Elisabeth. It was a rare sunny day which made the kayaking even more enjoyable. It was incredibly quiet and the water... More

This was a fantastic excursion choice I made and would love to do it again. Love the fact that the group was small (just 3 of us and, James, our guide) so that no one felt like they were keeping others up by going slow. Also loved the fact that James took the time to point out the wildlife and... More

This was the perfect kayak trip. We went out about 8 miles to Orca Cove where we paddeled for over two hours. They limit the group to 6 people (3 double kayaks) but our group was just 4 people, so it seemed we had our own personal guide. The scenery was incredible. We saw a whale, harbor seals, eagles, star... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent Orca Cove kayaking trip. My husband and I, booked this trip with my parents, for when we arrived in Ketchikan on our cruise trip. Southeast Sea Kayaks meet you right by the port where your cruise ship comes in and takes you by boat to Orca Cove (so easy!). The small group sizes are ideal,... More

I loved the smaller group, our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and had a pretty good sense of humor (always makes for a great time). The entire staff that we dealt with were very nice. The smoked salmon, crackers and hot cocoa after our kayaking adventure made for a great finish! I would definitely book with them again.

We booked on-line and it was a very good experience from the get go. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable which helped because we had never kayaked before. If your going to kayak in KetchikanI I highly recommend this crew because they take great care of you!
