They leave from the tender platform.

We did Kayaking in Misty Fjords which is nice as you get a small zodiac ride to the kayak location. I can't speak for the full zodiac trip there, however we did do a Zodiac at College Fjord and loved it. Also did a Catamaran and Kayaking at Tracy Arm and both were great. Catamaran is best for pictures, so we are glad we did both.

As far as catamaran vs. zodiac in general if the weather is nice, or you are like us and want to be outside regardless of weather, I would go Zodiac as you get to hear from the Ventures team who are fantastic. The catamaran will talk about the area and the sights, but you can only hear them if you are inside so you miss out if you are outside to take pictures or take the scenery in without glass in your way.

Either way, I hope you really enjoy your trip.

Any chance Slobodan the bartender (he is from Macedonia) is on-board the Sojourn currently? I heard he did Alaska last year and we had him on the Quest in 2016 in the Baltic, one of the top bartenders I've seen on land or sea.

Julie - Thanks for the information and the pictures. It is very tough to decide which place to kayak and which one to do a catamaran, both sound like good options. If the schedule allows I may end up doing both at Tracy Arm for the experience.

Well based on other reviews of the zodiac adventure, because you sit up on the sides of the zodiac you get just as wet as kayaking, but don't have the speed the catamaran does, so you don't go as far up as the catamaran. If I'm going to get wet, I'd rather not hear a boat engine and enjoy the silence. Just a personal preference.

We are going to be on the Sojourn in June and there are several locations where we can either do Kayaking, Zodiac, or Catamaran excursions and struggling to pick which one to do where (mainly between Catamaran and Kayaking).

We have the option for Kayaking or Catamaran at

Misty Fjord

Tracy Arm or Endicott Arm

And Kayaking or Zodiac at

Inian Islands

Has anyone done any of these excursions and would be willing to share your experiences?

Thank you!
