Hi, my name is Scott Roberge and I own Tongass Kayak Adventures.
I've been called an "old timer" in the sea kayak guiding world,
though I prefer the term "experienced."
I began organizing kayaking, skiing and hiking trips in 1976, back
when I was a broke college student who loved to get outdoors.
Leading tours to great areas around the West Coast, I refined and
strengthened my guiding skills.
My life changed forever when I came to Petersburg, Alaska in the
summer of '81. I paddled an old Grumman canoe all over Southeast
Alaska and got hooked! In 1985, I started a kayak tour company and
spent the next ten years teaching thousands of people to kayak in
the waters of Mexico, the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.
In those days we lived out of our van with a trailer of kayaks
behind. We had lots of fun, but spending only three months in
Alaska just wasn't enough. Today, I only organize trips out of
Petersburg, Alaska, my home, through Tongass Kayak Adventures.
We are a small company that prides itself on offering the best
paddling experience possible in the wilds of Alaska. My guides are
all trained in emergency first-aid and sea kayak safety. All tours
carry radios and wilderness emergency gear to ensure you a safe
and enjoyable adventure.
To learn more about our tours, please check out the online slide
show and customer testimonials or
