This long loop paddling trip in the Inside Passage starts from Ketchikan and completely circles around Revillagigedo Island. The canal provides access to lots of side coves and inlets that make good destinations for side trips. The complete circumnavigation around the island is over 150 miles long so plan on spending 10-14 days to cover the entire route. Camping is available along most of the shoreline and there are also some forest service cabins located at different spots along the way. The canal is okay for beginner to intermediate paddlers but high winds can result in some unfavorable waters so setting out with experienced paddlers is advised. Be sure to reference the tide charts and use the tides to your advantage when paddling in the area.
