Sea Kayaking on Kenai Lake in Alaska

Kayaking on Kenai Lake Home to world famous salmon runs and the source of the Kenai River, Kenai Lake is the emerald heart of Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. Over 25 miles long, and with miles of Forested wilderness shoreline, it is an ideal location for paddle touring in sea kayaks. Our Kayak tours are perfect for paddlers wishing to participate in the sport of sea kayaking without the risk of ocean swells and title currents. Our guides provide instruction on paddling techniques and safety at the start of each tour.
