Kayaking
Looking for a true wilderness paddle but not sure where to start? Kayak charter boats, also
called "motherships," transport you to passages less-traveled with the extra advantages of
comfortable berths and prepared meals. Operated by captains with extensive local knowledge,
motherships offer group paddles with experienced guides or, for advanced kayakers, solo
excursions along hand-picked routes. Check out motherships in Southeast Alaska, coastal
British Columbia and the Sea of Cortez for some of the world's best mothership kayaking.

Southeast Alaska
A kayaker's paradise, Southeast Alaska offers remote wilderness paddles in a labyrinth of
barrier islands and hidden waterways. Protected routes thread past luminous glaciers and
snow-capped mountain ranges draped with lush rainforest. Rugged coasts promise the thrill of
surf and spray to advanced paddlers seeking challenges. Choose from featured destinations,
including the famous Glacier Bay National Park and Misty Fjords National Park, or explore
lesser-known waypoints such as the stunning Lituya Bay and Endicott Arm. |

Coastal British Columbia
The wild waters of Johnstone Strait, Desolation Sound, the sunny Gulf Islands -- these are
just some of the premier kayaking destinations of coastal British Columbia. With routes for
paddlers of every skill level, this vast area reaches from larger waterways (where ocean
influences guarantee, the gentle byways of technically challenging paddles) to sheltered
island groups that make for quieter, easier excursions. |

Sea of Cortez
Paddle the protected, turquoise waters of Mexico's Sea of Cortez and experience warm water
kayaking at its best! Paddlers of all skill levels will enjoy routes along the region's
cactus-dotted coastline where desert islands, tropical reefs and sandy beaches invite
exploration. Featured destinations include the National Marine Park of Loreto Bay, a
2065-square kilometer marine sanctuary, home to an intriguing chain string of uninhabited
islands and 800 species of marine life. |
