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.

This is really a good trip, hope the time can be longer. This is my first time kayaking and there is really no experiences needed. If you really have trouble with it, the guide will lead your way. Our guide Roy is really professional and HOT! The only disappointment is that we didn't see wildlife, but it is not there fault!

Long story short - apparently there were 10 people ready to go and my ship got into port later so they left me behind! sad tale and very disappointing way to start my Alaska trip...company offered a whale watching trip in Juneau but the one trip offered didn't guarantee I'd be back in time to make my ship's departure so sadly I had to pass on that adventure. Too bad they couldn't have adjusted their departure time in Juneau in view of my Sitka problem, but oh well...
