LEVELS
Each of our trips has been rated "1" to "4" according to what conditions can be expected on the trip, with "1" being the easiest and "4" being the more challenging trips. Keep in mind that even easy trips may become difficult if weather conditions are adverse. On all trips, guests help carry personal and group gear and, on sea kayaking trips, help carry their boat up and down the beach (65-80 pounds for two-four people). Most of our trips travel to remote wilderness locations with no facilities of any kind, and evacuation may be prolonged and difficult. More specific information can be found in each trip's detailed itinerary.

Level "2" to "4" trips entail travel to remote wilderness locations without facilities and walking over uneven and sometimes slippery terrain.

LEVEL 1: Easiest

LEVEL 2: Easy to Moderate

LEVEL 3: Moderate

LEVEL 4: Moderate to Challenging
(Some trips are rated at level "4" due primarily to the length of the trip in remote wilderness, or because a specific skill level is assumed, not because they are extremely physically demanding.

Join us on this easy but exciting camping and sea kayaking adventure at Point Adolphus, where underwater land formations and strong tidal currents create Alaska's most active whale feeding area.  You'll start with a scenic cruise aboard a charter boat fro Gustavus to our deluxe camp at Point Adolphus, then, after a thorough kayak lesson, test your paddling skills in the calm waters.  Days are spent kayaking and watching for orcas, sea lions, eagles, sea birds and humpback whales (we're one of the few companies to offer the opportunity to see whales up close!), hiking the beaches, or exploring the old-growth rainforest of Chichagof Island.  At night, enjoy sit-down scrumptious dinners, then fall asleep under the canopy of the Tongass National Forest while listening to the blows of whales frolicking just offshore.  A Charter boat returns you to Gustavus.

This trip is round trip from Gustavus.
