A do-it-yourself sea kayaking trip that is accompanied by one of our highly skilled sea kayak guides.
We supply an experienced guide and can supply sea kayaks and dry suits if needed. You save money by bringing your own camping gear, food, and doing your own cooking and camp chores. Our guide brings along extensive local knowledge and skills required for a remote Alaska wilderness adventure. We'll help you plan routes, wildlife viewing and activities.
Guided rentals are for groups that have prior outdoor and camping experience. If your group has minimal camping experience or are new to camping, we suggest you look at our fully outfitted sea kayaking tours. Camping and outdoor skills are required, however no prior sea kayaking experience is required. Our guide will teach you the sea kayaking skills needed.

Food for your group (guide will be self-sufficient)
Camping gear (tent, stove and sleeping bag rentals are available)
