Easy to find tour, and had a very enjoyable ride to the kayaks. Spotted a sea lion and they doubled back to show us closer. Very personal people on the boat. Got to the place and Tony was very informative and gave us instructions. Didn't see much wild-life and that was disappointing. Tony found sea creatures but going to everyone's kayak to show us, took took much time. The snack was small but good.

Our excursion started by meeting at the port. We were given heavy jacket to protect from the wind and necessary life vests. There were 28 of us on the yellow zodiac inflatable fast boat which took us to the bay for our instructions. We were split into two groups and given a more comfortable life vest which we could paddle in. Our guide talked about his experiences that brought him to Alaska. Would have liked a little more history of the area we were kayaking in. There was a clearing at the end of the bay where a Momma brown bear and cub were visible. All in all we had great time.
