About Alaska Kayak Company
Alaska Kayak Company is a family owned and operated outfitter running small-group boat and kayak tours from Ketchikan, Alaska. The company blends a comfortable powered vessel ride with hands-on sea kayaking to reach quiet, wildlife-rich coves that larger tours cannot access, giving guests an intimate way to experience the Inside Passage and Tongass National Forest.
On the signature tour, guests cruise by boat to a protected launch site before transferring into stable sea kayaks for a guided paddle among forested islets, kelp beds and rocky shorelines. Naturalist guides point out bald eagles, harbour seals, sea stars, jellyfish and salmon while sharing the natural and cultural history of the area. All kayaking gear, safety equipment and instruction are included, and the trips are beginner-friendly, welcoming paddlers with no prior experience.
Because the company keeps groups small and family-run, guests receive personal attention and a relaxed, unhurried pace throughout the day. Alaska Kayak Company's combination of a boat tour and a genuine paddling experience gives visitors the best of both worlds — coverage and comfort on the water plus the quiet immersion that only kayaking provides.
