This Trip Qualifies for Optional Travel Insurance
In consideration of the uncertainty surrounding travel during the COVID-19 pandemic, we've found a 3rd party travel insurance that covers many COVID related concerns. At checkout, you can choose a Refundable Booking to be covered by this insurance for a fee. Non-Refundable bookings are still covered under our standard cancellation policy.
Difficulty Level
This trip is suitable for beginners and seasoned kayakers alike. If you are a beginner, consider that you are going to be outdoors in Seward Alaska, and that means it often rains and is cold. Be sure to dress appropriately, and remember that all of our trips do involve a lot of physical activity.
This is a truly amazing opportunity
From the comfort of our kayaks, we'll explore the massive icebergs that are deposited by Bear Glacier, the Harding Icefield's largest glacier.
You'll enjoy the stability of our boats in the glacier's calm lagoon while your group checks out the huge floating chunks of ice around you.
This trip starts in our office in Seward Alaska at 8am, and often we have an afternoon trip that meets at 2pm. From there, we load up on our jet boat and start our 30-45 minute journey out to the glacier. Along the way, there's plenty of opportunities to see wildlife, and we'll keep our eyes open!
The features in the lagoon change daily and your guide will choose the best route to navigate through the maze of ice. Wildlife also varies day to day with good chances to view harbor seals and black bears. This tour lasts a little over 5 hours and departs daily.
