Sea Islands Expedition

Tours are subject to weather conditions; cancellations may occur. We will run a tour even if it's raining, sometimes our best wildlife sightings happen in these conditions. This is one of our FAVORITE paddle spots due to the rugged, exposed seascape. However, when the weather comes up, the wind can be more intense here than at more protected areas of the island and it is our job to ensure a safety-first approach. We always take care of our guests, either rebooking, relocating the tour or refunding our guest in the event of a weather call. Safety is priority one.

Participants must be at least 6 years old. If you have a young paddler in your group, they will sit in the front of a tandem kayak and should be paired with a strong paddler.

Wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle. You dress similarly to how you would for an island hike on Kodiak. Lots of layers as the island can switch from cool and rainy to sunny and warm in a matter of minutes! A light rain jacket as an outer barrier for rain or wind is always a good call. For footwear, whatever you prefer that's comfortable! Your feet may get a little wet but will stay dry for the most part as your guide assists you with launching the sea kayak. A hat or pair of sunglasses is also highly recommended.

Life jackets and safety equipment are provided. Our guides are trained in rescue techniques and have safety gear with them to handle an emergency on the water. We take time at the beginning of each tour to ensure proper life jacket fit for each guest to ensure your safety while paddling.

Advance booking is required to secure your spot. You are welcome to reach out to us in the weeks ahead of your tour if you'd like to change the date or timing. If something comes up last minute during your stay on Kodiak, we will always do our best to accommodate changes as best we can. Our goal is to get you on the water so you can experience the beauty of Kodiak from your kayak,
