Enjoy a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ moment

Sea Kayak Adventures began in 1993 with the dream of sharing with other nature-lovers the
majesty of whale watching and sea kayaking with orcas. Kayaks are largely non-intrusive to
wildlife, which means you’ll have a rare view of birds and animals that normally scatter at the
approach of humans. In sturdy sea kayaks, you’ll be at eye level with playful dolphins, 5
inquisitive sea lions, and breathtaking whales and orcas. If you’re already an avid sea
kayaker, you’ll enjoy our emphasis on wildlife and natural history from local guides. But no
prior experience is necessary! Kayaking is easy to learn in the sheltered waters that we visit,
and we provide all the gear, kayak equipment and guidance needed.

We select the very best places to whale watch and sea kayak on Earth. Don’t just watch 10
whales. Join them. See blue whales and fin whales or view friendly grey whale babies at our
exclusive Baja whale watching basecamp in Magdalena Bay. Kayak with orcas and humpback
whales off Vancouver Island in Canada, or sea kayak with southern right whales in Patagonia in
their calving lagoon. We even offer tours by yacht to Alaska, or camping on the Galapagos for a
spectacular wilderness adventure. Since 1996, we have had a perfect safety record and 15
thousands upon thousands of happy guests.

We operate under strict ‘Leave-No-Trace’ ethics so that you can enjoy whales and orcas
without harming their habitat. Rest assured that on a Sea Kayak Adventures trip, you will leave
these special places as pristine as you found them.
