Why Does Alaska Paddle Expeditions use Inflatable Kayaks?

An IK can offer more stability and comfort than a classic hard-shell kayak or packraft. It’s also better suited to bringing small drybags and keeping them accessible. Lastly, it is much easier to recover into the craft, should a paddler have an “out-of-boat experience”.

Because your safety and enjoyment are our top priorities, and because our goal is to share with you particularly remote and unforgiving landscapes, APEx only uses the most durable, high quality IKs on the market.
