Safety Check!
Drysuits are Provided and Required for all Liquid Adventures trips in Bear Glacier
We provide drysuits for all of our clients as part of our Bear Glacier trips. We very rarely have clients in the water, but if it happens we want to be prepared. The water in Bear Glacier's lagoon is fed by glacier runoff, and it is kept colder than the ocean all summer long by giant icebergs. Even if the air temperature is warm, the water is still cold, so our drysuits provide the necessary safety buffer to make sure that getting wet is no big deal.
Even if you choose not to visit a glacier lagoon with us at Liquid Adventures, make sure that wearing a drysuit is part of your plan! It should be considered essential safety gear for any adventure in very cold water. (Note: we only have up to XXL drysuits. As a general rule, if you are close to or over 6'6" tall or 260lbs, you may not fit into our drysuits and cannot go on the trip. For suit dimensions, click here)

Difficulty
Some experience kayaking is adviseable on this trip
This is an adventurous trip. It is very fun, but it is definitely a trip where you are exposed to the elements and can get dirty, sweaty and, tired.
Paddlers should be comfortable spending most of the day actively paddling in a kayak.
Photography
We use sit-in kayaks for this trip. You can have your camera around your neck or in a dry bag — we do have water-tight compartments in all of our sit-in kayaks for you to store your gear, but it can be hard to access these compartments while on the water.
Remember; you are on water! You are ultimately responsible for keeping your awesome camera gear dry!
Essential Details
It's important to bring comfortable and warm clothes to wear under your drysuit to ensure that your experience is as pleasant as possible.
We highly recommend that you avoid wearing cotton or denim layers.
