From Our Clients...

“From start to finish, you guys were amazing! We spent 17 days in Alaska, and the three days that we were kayaking with whales was the best part of the entire trip. The location was beautiful, the equipment was outstanding, the whales were incredible beyond words (I miss them!), the food completely rocked and [our guide] was simply the best -- fun, funny, knowledgeable, professional, safety conscious, entertaining, easy going, accommodating and a really great cook! I've told everyone I know that they need to come to southeast and paddle with you guys. Thank you for the experience of a lifetime!”
– Julie Thorne Hall

Did You Know?

The shape and pattern of a humpback whale's tail (its fluke) is just like a human's fingerprint — no two are alike. Researchers (and whale watchers) can identify humpbacks by their flukes.
