You have to do one of these kayak trips when you come to Kodiak to get a completely different perspective on the wildlife and the beauty of the island. Jens was an awesome guide and gave a lot of insight during our time. Well worth the money and time. Thanks again

Sea Islands Expedition
The Sea Islands Expedition is Kayak Kodiak's signature tour — and one guests talk about for years. Three hours paddling through clear, shallow water along the remote side of the island, with unobstructed views of the mountains and the kind of wildlife access you simply can't get from shore. Puffins nesting on rocky outcroppings. Sea otters floating in the kelp. Seals watching you from a curious distance. Your guide brings a naturalist's eye to everything you encounter — this isn't just a paddle, it's an education in one of the most productive marine ecosystems on the planet. Suitable for all experience levels. No kayaking background required — just a willingness to get out on the water and see what shows up.
Kodiak Wild Isles Kayak Tour
This is the paddle that makes people fall in love with the island. Just minutes from town, we launch into a surprisingly wild coastal landscape of quiet barrier islands, kelp forests, tide pools, and wildlife-rich waters framed by Kodiak’s dramatic mountains. Sea otters drift through the kelp, puffins dart overhead, bald eagles patrol the shoreline, and seals and sea lions are frequent companions along the route. Over the course of this two and a half hour adventure, your local guide brings these waters to life with stories, wildlife knowledge, and an intimate understanding of the tides and coastline that only comes from years spent paddling here. Perfect for families, beginners, and anyone visiting Kodiak who wants to experience the island the way locals do.
Kodiak Harbor tours by kayak
You have a few hours in Kodiak. Don't spend them in a gift shop. This 2.5 hour harbor tour is built specifically for cruise ship passengers who want a real Alaskan experience before the ship calls. Paddle through Kodiak's working harbor — one of the most productive fishing ports in the world — with a local guide who knows every corner of it. Bald eagles overhead, sea otters in the kelp, fishing vessels coming and going. This is Kodiak as it actually is, not as it's packaged for tourists. We time the tour to get you back to the dock with room to grab a local bite before you sail. Easy, unforgettable, and nothing like anything else on offer at the port.
