Editoral Review of ROW Sea Kayak Adventures
Established in 1993, Seak Kayak Adventures offers wilderness vacations for active, outdoor-minded travelers. They offer trips that immerse travelers in nature with activities such as meeting people, sleeping under the stars and going on some of the highest quality sea kayaking trips available.
What Makes ROW Sea Kayak Adventures Stand Out?
- Commitment to customer service
- Nature immersion by kayak
- Knowledgeable and experienced guides
- Luxury camping and fresh cuisine
ROW Sea Kayak Adventures is committed to providing customer service all throughout the travel experience. They offer extensive pre-trip information, communication and answers to questions.
When a travelers books a trip reservation they also get access to the full service of Adventure Consultants who won’t stop helping once you depart for your trip. These consultants are with you every step of the way from the booking process, through the trip, all the way until you return home. Travelers should rest assured that if something unexpected happens while on their trip or if they have additional questions, ROW Sea Kayak Adventures consultants are ready to help.
Kayaking is the main activity offered by ROW Sea Kayak Adventures which provides unbeatable nature immersion experiences. Travelers will get a rare, up close and personal experience with the wildlife because kayaking is a very non-intrusive activity unlike the presence of larger boats. ROW Sea Kayak Adventures offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to be eye level with dolphins, sea lions and whales.
Each trip is led by experienced and knowledgeable guides. These guides have extensive experience in nature which has given them reliable outdoor skills. Each trip has 2-3 guides to not only help lead the expedition but to provide knowledge and personal insight into the beauties of the destination.
Most outdoor and nature trips boast great experiences but lack comfortable accommodations. ROW Sea Kayak Adventures offers both. They offer luxury camping experiences which they call “camping plus”. This includes spacious tents, comfortable sleeping arrangements and tables and chairs to eat at.
Not only are the tents and sleeping arrangements a luxurious experience, but so is the destination. ROW Sea Kayak Adventures places travelers on beautiful beaches and campsites with stunning views. They also offer fresh, healthy and savory dishes prepared by guides. These could include dishes such as chiles rellenos, baked salmon and vegetable lasagna.
Who Will Enjoy Traveling with ROW Sea Kayak Adventures?
- All ages
- Active, outdoor-minded travelers
- Nature lovers
- History and cultural enthusiasts
ROW Sea Kayak Adventures travelers can range from retirement aged groups to younger participants as well. Their customers tend to be active already as most trips involve self-powered transportation and active experiences.
These travelers love being active and spending their time in the outdoors, immersed in nature. They enjoy activities such as kayaking, snorkeling, hiking and swimming. While these hands-on experiences are what ROW Sea Kayak Adventures specializes in, there is time where travelers can unwind and relax with a good book on the beach.
Kayaking allows for unforgettable experiences in nature and with wildlife. ROW Sea Kayak Adventures travelers love getting up close with animals and seeing them undisturbed in their natural habitats. These travelers would much rather sightsee creatures in nature than sightsee at museums, galleries or archeological sites.
However, ROW Sea Kayak Adventures travelers do love history and culture sprinkled into their outdoor travel experience. Sharing history, culture, and natural history information is an integral part of every trip.
Top Destinations
ROW Sea Kayak offers a wide range of destinations that travelers can choose from. The broad categories for destinations includes North America, Mexico, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Africa and Antarctica.
Whatever the destination, travelers can expect to experience nature in an entirely new way. Each trip offers unbeatable kayaking experiences with some of the best guides that will round out each trip with history and culture.
ROW Sea Kayak Adventures Travel Style
While ROW Sea Kayak Adventures offers fully rounded itineraries, they are designed around kayaking. While sea kayaking has a small learning curve, these trips do not require prior experience. That said if you are somewhat physically fit and able, you will find the trip more enjoyable. Expect some sore arms, but if you go in prepared for an adventure you’ll have an amazing time.
For those looking for a more sightseeing trip with museum tours and the opportunity to visit archaeological sites, ROW Sea Kayak Adventures may not be for you. Trips are designed for travelers that love being in the outdoors and experiencing nature and seeing wildlife on a personal level.
These trips are designed for the outdoors, but they also offer comfortable and luxury camping experiences. Travelers can rest assured that after a long and tiring day they will get a good night’s sleep in a spacious tent after a healthy and savory cuisine.

About the company
ROW Sea Kayak Adventures, founded in 1993, was born out of a passion for whale watching, sea kayaking, and wanting to share the experience with fellow nature-lovers. For over 20 years now, Sea Kayak Adventures has been providing unique kayak tours for active, outdoor-minded travelers to world-renowned destinations and some of the most celebrated natural areas, including Alaska, British Columbia, Baja, the Galapagos Islands, Patagonia, Quebec, Scotland and Corsica. Each destination has its own unique wilderness experiences and most offer once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounters. Travelers head home at the end of their trip feeling rejuvenated by their time spent in nature, meeting great people, kayaking amidst wildlife and sleeping under the stars.
At ROW Sea Kayak Adventures, we select the very best places on Earth to whale watch and sea kayak. And we don’t just watch whales; we join them! Many of our trips are in UNESCO World Heritage Sites and National Marine Parks, providing unparalleled whale and wildlife encounters, and calm paddling waters.
Kayaks are largely non-intrusive to wildlife, which mean you’ll have a rare view of animals that normally scatter at the approach of humans and large boats. In sturdy kayaks you’ll be at eye level with playful dolphins, inquisitive sea lions, and incredible whales.
Whether you are an avid sea kayaker, or it is your first time, you’ll enjoy these incredible trips, and share in our passion for adventure, commitment to conserving the environment, and relishing unique experiences. For those new to the sport, kayaking is easy to learn in the sheltered waters that we visit, and we provide all of the camping gear, kayaking equipment and guidance needed. In addition, we keep our groups small to allow you to not only travel intimately among nature, but to ensure you receive the necessary attention from our guides.
Most of our guides are with us for the long-term, despite the seasonal nature of the industry. Our top-notch equipment, unique itineraries, and perfected operations attract extraordinary guides, many of whom are highly sought after in the industry. ROW Sea Kayak Adventures guides know their outdoor skills as second nature. Each trip has 2-3 guides to assist, inform and lead the way so you get the most out of your adventure. They love to share conversations, knowledge, games and laughter – and they’re great cooks!
We know that it’s our job to provide uncompromising comfort & safety and quality service & gear. We provide all of the gear you need – kayaks, camping gear, etc – teach you necessary skills to perform the various activities, and always have your safety in mind. In addition, our legendary wilderness meals, prepared daily by our guides using fresh, healthy ingredients, include savory dishes like chiles rellenos, baked salmon and vegetable lasagna. We even serve delicious desserts like brownies and pineapple upside-down cake! Each morning, we serve up freshly brewed coffee. Throughout the day we provide an abundance of local fruits and vegetables. Wine and mixed drinks are served with hors d’oeuvres each evening for happy hour. We also accommodate special dietary requests. “Camping Plus” is all about truly “getting away,” but not quite “leaving it all behind!”
While we provide certain creature comforts, we are all about practicing “Leave No Trace” ethics. Respecting not only the wildlife we encounter, but also the environment we visit is of utmost importance. Rest assured you will leave the special places you visit as pristine as you found them.
In 2013, we furthered our conservation and responsible tourism efforts by becoming the first kayak tour operator to join the Responsible Whale Watch Partnership. We represent the organization with just 30 other companies in an effort to raise the standards of whale and dolphin watching worldwide.
We make unique and meaningful trips easier for you by taking care of the details so you can just show up and focus on being totally engaged in your adventure.
