What an amazing experience!!! It was beautiful in the water and Chloe and Marshall were just incredible! Good kind people! I had never been on a Kayak before and I felt confident in the gear and with Chloe as our guide! I cannot say enough how great they are and what an absolute unforgettable experience this was!! Thank you! Thank you!

A truly epic adventure. Up close and personal with nature. Ryan our guide was stellar, pulled sea stars from tidal pools, showed us carnivorous plants and wild berries on a hike to a hidden waterfall, basically paddled us to heaven. Highly recommended for a great time. The paddling isn’t too strenuous and is at a leisurely pace, however there is definitely some exertion necessary. Dress in layers and bring a packed lunch.

What a find in Whittier! As a family, this was our first sea kayaking experience and Peter, Eddie & Caroline made it the best experience possible. They were patient with us as we learnt the ropes of kayaking. Edie & Caroline had a keen eye for wildlife — saw harbor seal, sea lion and multiple bird sightings. Safety was their first priority but they ensured we had lots of fun too. With their encouragement, we ended kayaking to a set of waterfalls and back. Thanks for creating a great experience.

Our group of 3 had an awesome kayak adventure with Kieran. It was rainy and a little windy but we had a great time navigating the coves and passages 4 miles out from Whittier. Explored rivers teeming with salmon, we’re lucky enough to find a large family of river otter playing and feeding on salmon, spotted lots of eagles including a juvenile, and tons of otter! Did a few short hikes in beautiful terrain and had a lovely lunch by the water. We did this tour and the 5.5 hour catamaran tour while in Whittier and they gave us such different experiences. Would def recommend going out to see the Whittier coastline up close.
