Our
Guides Set Us Apart
Naturalist, entertainer,
medic, historian, storyteller, and chef are among the things we expect
our guides to be. In truth, they are much more. What you can expect
from Northern Lights Expeditions' sea kayaking guides is an acute
attention to detail and a capacity for inspiring fun, fostering camaraderie,
and creating the perfect vacation for you. They're strong leaders,
encouraging teachers, patient and great company. They're special people
whose infectious enthusiasm for people and the outdoors makes the
difference between a good trip and an extraordinary one. Each
day, Northern Lights' sea kayaking guides are there to provide hot
drinks or a snack. Our small group size and high guide to guest
ratio assures each guest all the attention to their needs they could
ask for. On the water, our guides are always kayaking among the
group, providing assistance, tips on paddling and insight into the
local area.
When in camp,
you'll find Northern Lights guides have carried all the ingredients
for our sumptuous backcountry meals. You need to carry little more
than a camera, water bottle and your clothing. Whatever the activity,
we go the extra mile to deliver an unforgettable experience.

think our guides had a lot to do with this being such an excellent
experience. They were always upbeat, worked as a team, and worked
very hard."
