Kayaking in Sitka Sound and the surrounding area offers every aspect of adventure and wildlife viewing a kayaker would desire. We help outfit and supply individuals and groups with kayaks, equipment and local knowledge. Whether you want to explore with our experienced guides or venture out on your own, we have tents, kitchen kits and all the items necessary for a successful kayaking adventure.
Why SWCK
We offer small-group, bespoke kayak tours of coastal Alaska. Ranging from the South Baranof Wilderness to the West Chichagof-Yakobi Wilderness and beyond, this region is a remote archipelago, seldom traveled, and breathtaking in it’s beauty and grandeur.
Islands large and small cluster along the edge of the open sea in water as clear and clean as any in the world. Situated on the edge of the Tongass National Forest, this pristine wilderness is off the radar for most kayakers. It is wild, untamed, and a natural draw to people looking for an authentic Alaskan wilderness kayaking journey.
Who We Are
We are specialists in wilderness kayaking. With over 30 years of guiding experience in remote areas worldwide, we have found that the outer coast of Southeast Alaska is the finest kayaking destination we’ve ever encountered.
Your guide has the highest level of training in wilderness kayaking adventure. Their training encompasses essential skills, as well as group management, communication, and safety on both water and land. Our knowledge of wild foods, combined with a passion for cultural and natural history, helps you intimately connect with the region.
All guides are certified Wilderness First Responders.
Our in-house kayak training program prepares our guides to handle all the variables of wind, wave, weather, and tide in our region. Our safety and rescue training is conducted in conditions where rescue is most likely needed, but our prevention strategies protect us from ever having to use these skills.
