Did the 2 1/2 hour Kayak through HAL a couple of weeks ago in Ketchikan. Was relatively easy. Went up to Creek street then out around the ships and to an Island (?) can't remember the name. Very scenic and saw lots of eagles. It was definitely a workout so if that's not what your interested in you may want to think of other options. We went at 10:30 and was back by 1:00.
