Featured Adventure:  Aialik/Northwestern Explorer Kayaking and Wildlife Viewing Trip

If you're looking to book a world-class kayaking experience in Kenai Fjords this summer, we think this trip may be the best around. We designed it from scratch, and we have a beautiful and safe water taxi dedicated exclusively to our customers for this trip.  Using our own water taxi gives us the flexibility to go further on the water, ensuring that we have the best day possible by considering the weather and wildlife locations for each new day. It's also much cheaper than many of our competitor's trips that use a shared water taxi!

Embark on an exciting adventure with this guided kayaking expedition that begins right at the doorstep of Seward. Glide along the picturesque coast of Resurrection Bay, where you'll have the opportunity to paddle, hike, and soak in the breathtaking scenery that epitomizes Seward's deep connection with the sea.

Discover the secrets concealed in the nooks and crannies of the steep coastal cliffs as you venture further into Resurrection Bay on your sea kayak. Weather and sea conditions permitting, we'll pause to explore a serene forested trail leading to a cascading waterfall, all while admiring the vibrant wildflowers that adorn the path.

Following a rejuvenating snack, we'll return to our kayaks, delving into captivating discussions about the alpine glaciers and enchanting seabirds that grace our journey. Share the tranquil ocean waters with amusing puffins, agile leaping salmon, majestic Stellar sea lions, and more.

Although a small snack is provided, you're welcome to bring your own treats to savor along the way.

A great trip for everyone

This trip is a great way to explore kayaking. It is very fun, and not especially hard, but be aware that you are exposed to the elements and can get dirty, sweaty and, wet.

Participants should be comfortable spending several hours paddling in a kayak and walking on beaches.


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!

Due to Park regulations and consideration of other guests, we do not allow drones to be flown on this trip.

Essential Details

A waterproof rain layer is essential for this trip.

It's important to bring comfortable and warm clothes to wear  to ensure that your experience is as pleasant as possible.

We highly recommend that you avoid wearing cotton or denim layers.

Getting to the beach

HIDE

Take our short van shuttle to the beach

From our office, we hop into one of our vans and take a scenic drive through the historical town of Seward and out along the coastal road to Lowell Point.

This van ride takes about 15 minutes, and we frequently see otters, eagles, and see lions along the way.

Book This Trip

Van Shuttle
