Highly Recommended! - We enjoyed an excellent lighthouse tour kayak trip with Seak Adventure. The owner and guide Charlie did a great job guiding us around several islands out in Sitka Sound. Charlie was very knowledgeable about the area, history and marine life. On the ride itself we came across seals, sea lions and eagles, as well as starfish and sea urchins. Charlie was very friendly, patient and easy to work with. The Sitka area was drop-dead gorgeous from the water. We had a great view of the town and surrounding hills, as well as the dormant volcano Mount Edgecumbe.
The tandem kayak we used was very new and performed better than any I've used before. The other equipment (life vest and spray skirt) was also newer.
I don't hesitate to recommend Charlie and his tour company. Five stars!

Fun and safe!. - Charlie guided us on a fun safe adventure full of stories, legends and history. He guided us safely across boating lanes and through the harbor. The whole team was professional, warm and courteous. The provided transportation from the cruise drop off in town making it very convienient.

Great communication and safety awareness! - While our trip was canceled due to weather advisory and we didn't get to experience the excursion, the communication and transparency were greatly appreciated! Our full refund was issued quickly.

Wonderful experience! - My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful time with Charlie and Liz. It was special. Just the four of us in kayaks; a private tour you could say. We paddled at our own pace, so it was very peaceful. I think our guides were as excited as we were to observe nature up close. Both guides were very personable, helpful, and super friendly. I highly recommend this trip.

Sea Lions, Otters, and a WHALE! Oh my! - This tour, led by Charlie and Liz, was the absolute highlight of our 10 day Alaska adventure! Our group included my husband and I and our 3 adult kids, 27, 18, and 16. We were all novice kayakers, but had no trouble at all keeping up. Charlie and Liz made sure we were safe, knew how to paddle properly, and had a great time! We saw Salmon (up close when Charlie caught one with his bare hands!), starfish, sea urchins, abalone, eagles, and river otters. A large sea lion we affectionately named “Frank” followed us closely for half the trip! The weather was amazing, even when it rained in the middle, it was great! Just when we thought it couldn’t get better, a humpback whale appeared in front of us! He was a long way off but we could hear him, see him, and even smell his breath!! Charlie and Liz took great pictures and videos of our trip and shared them with us. I can’t recommend this tour enough! It was worth every penny. Be prepared to get wet! The skirt provided helped a lot, but we were still pretty wet at the end. I was glad we wore quick dry pants and water resistant shoes. Even on a very warm day for Sitka, having a rain jacket or hat is a good idea!

Beautiful scenic tour! - My family and I did this tour last month, and it was a blast! It was a group of 9 of us, and Charlie did such a great job navigating us all and getting us all back safely. We got to see bald eagles, seals, starfish, and more! He was so informative and gave us so much interesting info on his background, Sitka, and the nature around us! We are so glad we chose SEAK Adventures. I would definitely recommend!

Fun kayaking tour - We had a great tour with Charlie and his dad. They were so organized and fun. They took all kinds of photos of our family group and sent them to us afterward. They gave us a very personalized tour. I would highly recommend and work with them again if returning to Sitka. We saw sea lions, eagles and all kinds of birds on our kayaking adventure.
