    Paddling Sitka’s Otter Coast: The Chichagof Wilderness

    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.

  • Isle Royale Explorer Long Play

    Isle Royale Isle Royale National Park, Isle Royale, MI, United States

    In many ways this trip is similar to our Explorer trip, but this is MORE exploratory. Paddling skills for this will be on par with the Explorer option, but this trip is longer, with more flexible camping otpions and range further from our start point. Where we will get to and how long we spend in each place is based on weather... and whether we want to move or stay. Think flexible, fun, and more ambitious. This can be used as a Level 3 Trip Leader Training trip, if so desired. Early season means fewer crowds, longer daylight hours, better fishing and, probably, slightly more hungry mosquitoes.

  • Greenland Immersion 2025

    Uummannaq, Greenland , Greenland

    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.
