Whales! Kayaking Expedition

From the deep forested inlets of Chichagof Island to the 1,000 foot depths of Icy Strait, a sea kayaking paradise of immense scale and wildlife diversity

This overnight kayaking adventure offers you the opportunity to view and be amazed by Stellar Sea lions, harbor seals and of course, the Humpback whales that congregate here to feed every summer. There is nothing like being at water level with these magnificent beings! Occasionally Humpback whales fully breach out of the water, in commanding displays of acrobatic power. Tide pool explorations, rain forest treks, and gourmet dinners among the tumbled boulders at our camp fill your days and nights at Point Adolphus. It is not uncommon to hear humpbacks slapping the water and hear their explosive breath from your tent at night. The impression is a lasting one, but only one of many you'll take home from this great kayaking adventure!
