Ride a catamaran to Haines, then paddle Southeast Alaska’s Inside Passage with a guide and enjoy lunch beside the water.
About this tour
Trade the road for the water on a Skagway Inside Passage sea kayaking adventure, with a scenic catamaran ride to Haines and a guided paddle through Southeast Alaska’s striking coastal landscape. The journey begins aboard a high-speed catamaran for a 17-mile trip down Lynn Fjord. In Haines, your professional guide provides kayaking instruction and gear before you set out in a two-person kayak. Paddle among the waters of the Inside Passage, with mountain and ocean scenery unfolding around you, then pause for a beachside lunch with a view. The 390-minute experience includes the catamaran transfers, kayaking activities, paddling equipment, personal flotation devices, spray skirts, rubber boots, and rain gear if needed. The ocean is the primary paddling location; when weather makes it unsuitable, the tour moves to scenic freshwater Chilkoot Lake. A good choice for active travelers, this Skagway Inside Passage sea kayaking trip pairs a memorable coastal crossing with time on the water. Dress in layers and come ready to paddle.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.27 from 11 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Skagway
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.5.
