Alaska Kayaking Trips
Kayaking offers an immersive experience of Alaska. Whether paddling a peaceful mountain lake or a glacial fjord, visitors can be assured of an experience like no other. All tours feature an experienced naturalist guide who will assist you with gear, technique, and information about the area you visit. No experience is necessary for most trips.
The community of Seward is a popular place to kayak thanks to an abundance of sheltered coves and bays, many with massive glaciers standing tall at the far end. For those new to paddling, or with a tight schedule, the Resurrection Bay Kayak Tour is the perfect option. Explore the Caines Head State Recreation Area, keeping an eye out for seals, whales, and sea otters along the way.
For a longer paddle, the Northwestern Fjord-Aialik Bay Day Trip is a full-day experience inside beautiful Kenai Fjords National Park. The trip is limited to 12 people and is the perfect adventure for those wanting an intimate view of the wild coastlines of Alaska.
Slightly shorter in duration, a Bear Glacier Iceberg Kayak tour takes guests on a five-hour trip of the glacier's protected lagoon. Feel the cold katabatic winds as you paddle among icebergs calved from the face of the glacier. Closer to Seward, a Fox Island Kayak tour sticks to coves closer to civilization and includes a salmon and prime rib lunch.
Farther down the Kenai Peninsula in Homer, many local businesses offer excellent kayaking that include a water taxi ride across to Kachemak Bay.
For travelers looking to explore freshwater environments, the Denali State Park Kayak Trip departs from McKinley Princess Lodge for a few hours of paddling the quiet waters of scenic Byers Lake. There are also several exciting, scenic raft tours if you're especially interested in experiencing Alaska by river.
For all Alaska kayak trips, remember to dress in layers, with extras in case you get wet. Also plan on warm layers and wool socks for kayak trips in glaciated waters. Bring water, a camera, and a hat.
