On the return paddle we may well wonder at all the activities we fit into these few days. Participants in these trips experience a wilderness island's beach, old-growth rainforest and muskeg bogs, some of Southeast's wildlife, and paddling the tide water of the inside passage. Not many visitors take the time and effort to see the Alaskan wilderness this close, but those who do are richly rewarded. If you can walk a few miles then you have the stamina to paddle to and hike on Pleasant Island. Paddling or swimming experience is not necessary.
Children are welcome.
We have paddled with people as young as 2 years. There should be one adult for every child, and they will share a double kayak. The adult should be prepared to do all the paddling. Sometimes the guide will be able to paddle with a child. Lunch typically includes smoked salmon and halibut, a selection of breads and cheeses, fruit, vegetable sticks, drinks, and snacks.
