Devon and his crew were so nice! Being the first tour of the season did not disappoint! Had gorgeous calm weather, saw a few seals and just soaked in Alaska. It felt like we were the only people out there.

Great experience, great people to do a tour with , very personal, were luckily enough so see a humpback, bald eagle, and more, guides were very informative

Great tour with fantastic guides. Hard to fault the team for our tour - they adpated the schedule to ensure we could spend time watching a humpback that was in the area before we got to the kayaking section. Whilst we didn't see huge amounts of wildlife whilst in the kayaks, our guide was very knowledgable and entertaining and the return to the "mothership" in the cove whilst we waited for our return to Ketchikan included some very tasty snacks and hot/cold drinks. Highly recommended.

What a great life experiences! Not just a great and spectacular place but a mannifecent experience. We saw wales, kayak and Gavia and Jacob take care of us like a friends. Complete explanation, time and quality experience yo enjoy the moment. After all we did not have busses to return our cruise and them make all possible with their own transportation Definitely the best experience ever! Amazin Team

This was such a great day kayaking on the ocean! Almost like being on a lake-amazing. Devon stopped the boat on the way out to the kayak so we could see some Dalls Porpoises that came up to us. Once we got to the catamaran Matt took over as our kayak guide. He took us on a great kayak trek of the local islands. So personable! The smoked salmon snack after was delicious too! We were hungry :) Thank you for a great first sea kayaking experience Devon and Matt!

I was nervous about sea kayaking but there was no reason to be! The tour is in an area that is well protected and the water was very calm. Devin, Matt and Spencer were all very friendly and made sure we had a great time! Spencer was our guide and his deep knowledge about the local ecosystem really added to our experience! We saw a bunch of interesting creatures and learned a lot! I can't recommend this tour enough!

Next level experience kayaking in the ocean. We got a once in a lifetime view of a whale! Jacob did a stellar job and was very helpful and engaging!

nicolelizfreeman

This was a great tour, even for people not experienced with kayaking. Devin, Matt, and Jacob (tour guide) were all super accommodating and friendly. Jacob was very knowledgeable about marine life and Ketchikan history. It was a small tour with only 6 people, which was great for getting a break from big crowds. Would recommend to anyone!

Chris_D

Devon and Matt were great! We had a wonderful day and would recommend this trip to anyone visiting and looking for an experience on the water.

Thank you Devin, Forest and the rest of your crew! First off...Devin contacted us (as we were doing the excursion as part of a cruise) to let us know that the day we booked didn't line up with the day our ship would be in port! (A great catch on his part!!) He worked with us to set up a time (on the correct day) that worked for us and our travel buds. The equipment was top notch! We were ferried out to their staging vessel in a brand new boat (very nice). The weather was perfect. The six of us spent about 1 1/2 hours kayaking with Forest before heading back to the staging vessel for snacks & drinks. Devin dropped us off "in town" so we could "shop" our way back to the ship. (This was our second time booking with Orca Cove Sea Kayaking)
