This remote kayak expedition originates in Sitka which is served by several flights a day from Seattle, so it is both easy and relatively inexpensive to fly to. Weeklong remote kayak trips to this part of Alaska are very uncommon and feature some remote and beautiful country. During our exploratory trip last year, we saw […]
Baja conjures images of rocky Pacific coastlines, long period waves and surges over kelp topped rocky stacks. It is perfect for exploring with an ocean playboat from a clifftop paddlers’ inn with a boat launch and walking distance from the best tequila you’ve never heard of. Learn to paddle pour overs, surf waves, shoot through slot canyons, slide into caves and paddle your butt off, eat tacos, sip tequila, suck limes, tell tales…repeat daily.
Costa Rica Anyone? Pura Vida!

Fifteen (15) days in Greenland! We’re heading to Greenland again! Why Greenland? Yes, it IS the birthplace of the Qajaq, but it is also like witnessing when the Earth was born. You may see and set foot on places where no one has been before you. It’s one of our favorite places to paddle and we don’t get there often enough. We like to immerse ourselves in the local culture – you’ll travel like a Greenlander…hand-lining cod or char for dinner, learning to eat seal (definitely an acquired taste) or musk-ox, hunting with your camera, paddling in sea ice and camping in sites used as traditional hunt camps for generations. Think cultural immersion by paddle….all with a safety net that comes with our over 40-year history in the kayak tripping business.
A multi-sport adventure built to suit each group of travelers! We start out with a basic structure that we build around including surf play, whitewater adventure, and hiking. We can add in visits to spice and coffee farms, scuba diving, sport fishing, canyoneering…the options are nearly endless. In short…this is a curated, bespoke kind of program. No two are alike.
Our local partner in this program is Costa Rica Explorers, co-owned by Jake Weigandt. Designed to give you an authentic Costa Rican Pura Vida experience, it is based in the Pacific coastal surf town of Dominical.

This is a magical place wrapped up in ancient rock, thimbleberries and the unforgiving waters of Lake Superior. This unique island park with its moose and wolves is a popular destination for backpackers, but since it is an island we thought that it would make more sense to explore it by kayak! 9 days including two travel days. This is a magical place wrapped up in ancient rock, thimbleberries and the unforgiving waters of Lake Superior. The Explorer trip starts and ends in Copper Harbor, with lodging included on first and last nights.
