Once-in-a-Lifetime Kayak Adventure with Cody and the Fairweather Team - Our sea kayak tour with Cody was unforgettable. Calm waters, breathtaking views, and then, a humpback whale surfaced just 100 meters away. Truly awe-inspiring. Cody’s knowledge and calm confidence made the experience both safe and exhilarating. Michelle and Dave rounded out the dream team - supportive, friendly, and capturing professional-quality photos we’ll treasure forever. This wasn’t just a kayak trip, it was Alaska at its purest. If you want a personal, safe, and genuinely magical experience on the water, this is it.

Fantastic Trip with Fairweather Kayaks - Absolutely WOW! Cody and the rest of the team provided an amazing experience. I can't recommend them enough. I'd strongly encourage booking any excursion like this with a local, especially in Icy Strait/Hoonah. And the whales were nice too!

This was amazing. The... - This was amazing. The team was extremely nice and friendly and we got to see 5-6 different whales. We saw them bubble feed multiple times and being on a kayak and eye level was soooo cool. It was a once in a lifetime experience. Better than I could have imagined

If you love kayaking, this is for you - This was exactly what we were hoping for! We had a great day kayaking with our guide, Cody. His team and he kept an eye out for wildlife so we were able to see whales, sea lions, seals, porpoise and otters on this day! He also is a wealth of information on all things Alaska, especially Hoonah and it's wildlife. We were never bored and had a lovely time all around

Amazing experience - Very friendly local tour guide that knows the area. Got lucky and had private kayak tour! Please choose this tour over the others in the area. They will make sure you get back to the ship on time 😊 Thank you Fairweather tours!

12 out of 10 recommend! - Kayaking with Cody was a highlight of our trip! Not only is Cody, his mom and step-dad some of the nicest people we met while in Alaska, but the personalized experience was wonderful! Cody takes you out kayaking while his mom takes spectacular photos of you and the scenery from the safety boat while also looking for wildlife for us to find! We learned so much about Hoonah (Icy Straigh Point) and saw a sea lion, so many eagles, held a crab and even a octopus! We missed the whales by about an hour but thats okay! I absolutely recommend this experience for all who visit Hoonah!

Great experience to put in your "TO DO" - Great kayak escape. Everyone was onboard to make this trip secure! We even got a little push into the water so we didn't get our feet wet!!! They have eyes everywhere to assure the security of the group but also to point out the things to see. Thx to Dave and Cody to follow the slower ones... As they said, it's not a race. We saw salmon, bald eagles and breathtaking views and even a cute little seal came to say hello next to my kayak! Great day with these wonderful tour guides - highly recommend!

I won the lottery with this tour - What a fantastic experience with Fairweather Kayaks. I was so very fortunate as I received a one on one tour which I can’t promise for others, but even without the individualized attention this was a special experience. We arrived to meet a friendly family that went the extra mile in every way, including taking photos of us they emailed that day. Hoonah didn’t deliver a beautiful sunny morning for us, but the water was calm and the journey was peaceful. I would do this excursion 10/10 times. Icing on the cake was getting to shop at the HTA store after with great deals. Thank you Cody and Michelle!

Locals led kayak experience you should not miss! - Fantastic morning in a double. The guys were flexible and fun! We saw some whales headed our direction a d ended up following them for the balance of the last hour, up close and personal. SO much fun! Guide tempered the paddle to what we were seeing and our ability. He had so many stories as we moved along. They also ran a safety boat the was close by but not intrusive. My one constructive comment would be a bit better direction to meet up. We wandered a bit before finding where we should be.
