Booked through NCL. Our guides were Ali and KT. Ali is literally the happiest person I have ever met. KT was great as well. Weather was perfect day that we went. I was disappointed that we didn't see any seals or whales, but we did see eagles and various sea life (sea cucumbers, starfish and urchins). It is nature so its obviously the luck of the draw - no fault at all of the tour or guides. I would recommend this tour especially on a nice sunny day.

The views were amazing! We go to see eagle nests, eagles, jelly fish, starfish and seals. The guide Ali was amazing, friendly and knowledgeable about everything. Could not say enough great things about her!

Fabulous morn out kayaking! Our guides, Natalie and Laura, did an excellent job of explaining everything, even to people who were nervous or worried about getting into the kayak. They also provided a lot of great area and environmental info, including on the creatures we saw: bald eagles, Sea lions, and whales. I appreciated that they were cognizant of keeping the group together, sometimes waiting for others to catch up, as not everyone had the same level of experience or fitness. Super local, family-run company! Highly recommend!

This was a really fun excursion. We saw sea lions, an eagle and nest, and starfish. Nikki and Austin were great!

My friends and I enjoyed our kayak tour with Southeast Exposure. After a short bus ride, we got instructions and equipment and were off for about 90 minutes of kayaking. We did see a couple of bald eagles as well as some marine life. Our guides-- Nick and Benji-- were friendly and informative. I highly recommend this outfit!

On 2023/08/29 I did the Eagle Islands Sea Kayak tour in Ketchikan. Nikki was our tour guide and she did a great job. She even let me have a speedy little solo kayak, which I really enjoyed. We all had a great time paddling around the islands. She shared lots of interesting information about the sea life and history of the area. Such a great time! Thanks, Nikki!

Austin and Benji were great! Incredibly knowledgeable and fun! We got to see starfish, tons of mature and baby bald eagles, sea lions, and seals. I can’t believe how close we got to everything. The paddling was easy and the cove’s waves was gentle. Highly recommend!

What a beautiful place to kayak! Our guides, Nick and Benji, did a great job sharing information about the area and the wildlife and also providing time to just enjoy the experience. Thank you!

We had the best time! Katie was very attentive to us and very knowledgeable. We saw Bald Eagles, sea lions, purple and orange star fish, and sea urchins. But my favorite was seeing a whale! It was magnificent! Highly recommend this tour!
