Frommer’s Alaska 2005 says:
“ Silence fell as the boat pulled away from the beach, leaving us behind with the kayaks and our guide. For the rest of the day my son and I absorbed the water reflected sunlight and glided past fancifully shaped rocks and resident sea otters around Yukon Island. We explored beaches, picnicked, raced and discovered tiny bays too small for any other craft. At the end of the day we had a new friend in our guide, Alison O'Hara, and discovered that she’d imperceptibly taught us a lot about sea kayaking.

I certainly recommend True North Kayak Adventures, which Alison runs… Most kayaking day trips in Alaska towns barely get out of the small boat harbor. This one doesn’t feel so tame— it's more like a mini-expedition. They also offer overnight and multiday trips to remote waters in the area.” - Frommer's Alaska 2005

Picture paddling through craggy rock arches, bald eagles flying overhead and silently watching sea otters napping in kelp beds. . . . Snow capped mountains always in the background.
