On more difficult whitewater, you have the choice of paddling, or being rowed down the river. Our tandem canoes carry 2 people plus gear. On sea kayaking expeditions, we use both single and double kayaks. River trips are the Cadillac wilderness experience. The boats carry all our gear, so we can carry more fresh food, and we're free to hike unhindered by backpacks on our layover days.
Sea kayaks, like rafts, carry all our gear.
We bring fresh food and often set up a base camp, taking daily forays to paddle among marine mammals, observe birds, or explore glaciers. Backpacking trips are more strenuous and require a higher level of fitness because we carry everything on our backs. Our routes are cross-country, following animal trails and the logical contours of the land. The rewards of this type of travel are inestimable. No paddling experience is necessary to join our river floats and sea kayaking expeditions.
