Inside Passage Sea Kayaking

Cruise to Haines, then kayak Lynn Canal in two-person kayaks, spotting wildlife before enjoying a picnic on a remote beach.

Sail the longest fjord in North America to Haines, where expert guides outfit you for a 2-hour kayak trip on Lynn Canal. Paddle past waterfalls and mountains as eagles, seals, porpoises, and maybe whales appear. Stop at a quiet beach to stretch, explore, and enjoy a picnic lunch. If conditions require, paddle on scenic Chilkoot Lake instead. With naturalist narration and unforgettable scenery, this ocean kayak adventure is a highlight of Southeast Alaska.

If you fail to either (a) cancel within 48 hours of the booked Shore Thing (or alternative time period as may be stated in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section), or (b) show up for a booked Shore Thing, you will be charged for 100% of the Shore Thing price.

If you make a cancellation prior to the first day of your voyage and within 48 hours (unless otherwise stated in the tour details) of your Shore Thing, you will be refunded to the original form of payment after midnight Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the day of cancellation.

If you make another purchase prior to midnight EST, after canceling a booking eligible for a refund, the credit from the canceled booking will be applied to your new booking.
