DESCRIPTION: Sea kayaking adventures with Northern Lights Expeditions focus on encountering and seeing whales, whether it is a wild killer whale (orca), a minke, or humpback. After 20 years of operation in this area, Northern Lights Expeditions knows the best spots on earth to encounter orcas in the wild. Knowledgeable guides can identify family groups and individuals and talk about the history and behavior of the whales. They even carry underwater microphones to listen to the whales, and photographs to help them identify individual whales.

Northern Lights trips include gourmet meals. This is also one of the top salmon fishing spots on the coast, and they supplement their delicious dinners with fresh wild salmon whenever possible. Exceptional, knowledgeable guides, top quality kayaking and camping equipment, great support from their staff, and help with travel plans, are fine touches that make Northern Lights North America's most experienced sea kayaking outfitter.

Northern Lights has helped to set the standard for sea kayakers in this area, and their strict adherence to wildlife encounter guidelines has helped them consistently have whale sightings on their trips. David Arcese, founder of Northern Lights, has a philosophy of being the best outfitter in this specialized area. His philosophy has guided the company to receive the highest ratings and reviews from their guests. Wildlife is seen at very close range, but is not disturbed.
