Joe was extremely patient and easy to work with from the time we first contacted him, through multiple rescheduling episodes (covid, etc.), and throughout our trip several years after we first made contact. His knowledge and experience were excellent as he helped personalize our trip and adjust for weather. We initially had planned a 4 day/3 night kayaking/camping trip on the Fjord, but as an atmospheric river threatened to cancel our trip, he helped us adjust to a day of paddling on Chilkoot lake and 3 days/2 nights of kayaking/camping/hiking/fishing on the Fjord. Our guide helped us become comfortable kayaking, helped make an outstanding camping trip including cooking excellent meals. Joe was also very helpful helping us connect with other business and services in Haines during our stay. He and his guide went above and beyond to make our trip amazing. With Joe and our guide's help, we felt like we were in a postcard for a week. Incredible.

Perfect couple of days with SEAK! Joe picked us up day 1 at the airport and dropped us off at a trail head for a great hike up Mount Rapinski. Day two was all about experiencing Alaska for a pack raft on the Klehini River. Awesome experience for land locked individuals. Day three Joe called an audible due to the winds and we ended up kayaking on Chilikoot Lake. We had a personal guide for two days on the water to experience Alaska from a different locals perspective. Absolutely awesome! After three great days of fun, adventure and sight seeing, Joe dropped us off at the airport for our return flight.

Our experience with SEAK Expeditions was excellent. Our guide, Liz and the owner, Joe were exceptional. We would highly recommend a trip with SEAK!

Joe picked us up right on time, and had all the gear ready. We got in the kayak and on the lake without even getting our feet wet. Paddling on the lake we saw beautiful mountains and waterfalls, and a few cool looking ducks.

Joe was an excellent driver and kayak guide. He knew all about the area, the flora and fauna. We saw Salmon, birds, humming birds, etc. The equipment was new. We truly enjoyed our 90 min kayaking experience on Chilkoot lake. Very serene and beautiful.

We had a great time kayaking on Chilkoot Lake! Our guide Joe was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour group sizes are on the smaller size, which was very nice. We saw a lot of salmon and were told it is not uncommon to see bears on the shore, but we did not see any that day. The lake itself was gorgeous and we are so glad we were able to go on this tour!

SEAK Expeditions took us out on Chilkoot Lake for an amazing trip in well-fitted kayaks. Joe is incredibly knowledgable about water sports, the Alaskan outback, and has decades of experience. We were in excellent hands and felt very safe. He's also just an all around easy-going, good guy. We will absolutely use SEAK Expeditions again and would highly recommend them to adventurers of all ages and levels.

I went on a kayak trip with Joe ( the owner) on an amazing trip on Chilkoot lake. He took the time to explain everything and outfitted us with top of the line gear. His caring disposition and the love of Alaska really was evident. His knowledge of the area was a bonus. I highly recommend Joe and SEAK tours if you happen to find yourself in beautiful Haines AK. ♥️ .

Had a wonderful time on this kayak trip! Kayaking in a beautiful lake surrounded by snow capped mountains with waterfalls was quite a treat. Joe was a great guide- giving us history and information about the area! He was even nice enough to give us time at the end of the tour to pick up food before we got on the ferry.
