The Top 1 Kayak Tours in Skagway

A Skagway kayak tour is a leisurely yet exciting way to discover the beautiful Lynn Canal. Located near the pretty town of Haines, the Lynn Canal is North America’s deepest fjord, and it’s home to loads of wildlife that you’ll potentially spot on your trip. Kayaking is one of the premier ways to experience Alaska because it involves no engine - and therefore, no sound - and it has little impact on the environment. Make the most of this magical wilderness by joining a kayak tour on your next visit!

On the Inside Passage Kayak tour, you’ll take the stunning fast ferry route from Skagway to Haines, traveling in 45 minutes what would take seven hours by road! On arrival, you’ll be kitted up, hop in your tandem kayak - and then it’s launch time! Paddle on the salty water of the Lynn Canal, as your guide fills you in on fascinating facts about the area, including its geography, plantlife, and beautiful animals. Keep your eyes up, because as well as porpoises, eagles, and sea lions, you may also catch sight of a glacier in the distance! After working up an appetite, it’s over to a private beach where you’ll enjoy an al fresco picnic - the perfect way to bring your tour to a close.  

There’s no need to worry if you haven’t kayaked before. On a Skagway kayak tour, we can accommodate most people, from complete beginners to more experienced paddlers.
