We traveled from Key Largo all the way to Alaska and took a Princess Cruise Line trip in Sept 2012. We wanted a unique and away from the crowd experience in Ketchikan - so we researched ahead of time and found locals/guides strongly suggesting Southeast Sea Kayak. We booked the 1/2 day Orca Cove trip - which only takes 6... More

Excellent experience, wonderfully hospitable people, beautiful scenery. We were met as promised on the cruise ship (ms Zaandam) dock and whisked off to a couple of docked boats where we were clothed, oriented and then transported several miles by boat to yet another boat where we were put into kayaks. Our guide, Elizabeth, was delightful and knowledgeable and we paddled... More

We booked this tour as part of a seven day Alaska cruise. The location is about a 20 - 25 bus ride from the cruise dock. Our guide was extremely professional and knowledgeable. After donning our "skirts" and life preservers, we headed to the dock to get into our two-person kayaks. We then spent over two hours paddling out to... More

This was a fantastic trip and one we thoroughly enjoyed. Brandon took us out on the water and he was both knowledgable and great fun. We were the 2nd last group to do this trip on the last day of the season and fortunately the weather held out and we had a perfect morning kayaking. We were even lucky enough... More

Just got back from an Alaskan cruise and one of my excursions was the Orca's Cove Kayak Trip in Ketchikan and I must say it was the highlight of my trip. I couldn't have asked for a better day to be on the water, Brandon was an exceptional guide, the things we say were amazing and the salmon picnic waiting... More

My friend and I were on an Alaskan cruise adventure, and booked an excursion with Southeast Sea Kayaks. I had been kayaking before, but Donna had not, and our guide Charlie was wonderful! He was patient and informative, concerned for our safety and also wanting us to have a good experience. We really enjoyed the entire trip! We saw some... More

Just as others who have reviewed it have said, I cannot recommend this group highly enough. We were there on one of the most beautiful sunny days. We were the only two in our group! Brandon was knowledgeable and friendly, and more than patient with two over-50 novices. He helped us over some rough kayaking moments, took us into the... More

My family of four (husband and I in our 50s, college age children) took the ORCA's COVE kayaking adventure with this company. Everyone working there was wonderfully friendly and helpful. We had six in our group which was excellent since the cruise excursions have many more. I checked this out way before we did this. Brandon was an excellent (and... More

What a wonderful experience!! This was my first time kayaking and hopefully not my last. I just loved every minute of it. Our guide was a very knowledgeable young man...........Charlie. He not only made sure of our safety and the ins and outs of kayaking but shared various information about wildlife and other nature, bits about some of the local... More
