Alaska Sea Kayaking in Tongass National Forest — Sitka
Cinematic 4K footage sea kayaking through Sitka's Tongass National Forest — where the intertidal zone meets the largest national forest in the United States. An immersive shore excursion filmed through the eyes of a guide who describes kayaking as getting somewhere different than where you started. Shot by an Alaska expedition film crew with 20 years of remote access. Concept for cruise lines, shore excursion operators, and Alaska travel brands.
4 AM. Two of our local kayakers called in sick. It's raining and cold.
But we're in the largest national forest in the United States — the Tongass. And there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.
Rob and Charles stepped up. Two crew members who'd never planned to be on camera grabbed paddles and rowed for hours, laughing in the rain, until we had every shot we needed. When the blisters came, they taped their hands with gaffer tape and kept going.
That's the WABU way.
