Difficulty

A sense of adventure required

This trip is perfect for a relaxed day of paddling, or for those who are just beginning with kayaking. This is an incredibly scenic trip, and the water is fairly protected from most weather, which makes it ideal for families or groups of travelers. 

Please note that it is important to understand that even though this is a more relaxed paddle than some of our trips, we are still outdoors for this trip, so good rain gear and a sense of adventure are a must. You must also be willing to sit in a kayak and paddle for 3.5 hours. 

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, unless a private tour is booked.

Other Details

Bringing warm, waterproof, and comfortable clothes is essential for your enjoyment of this trip. 

We operate rain or shine; as long as the water is safe to travel and paddle on, we go out.

If you have questions as to what kind of clothes to bring, feel free to contact us and we'll be happy to steer you in the right direction.

Important! If you don't purchase a lunch from us, make sure to bring your own. We're out there all day, and you'll be hungry after paddling!

The Journey to Aialik Bay

HIDE

Cruise to Aialik Bay in a comfortable Water Taxi

From our office, we'll take a 2 minute van ride to where the water taxi is moored.

After boarding, it's roughly a two hour ride out to Aialik Bay. We take our time on the way out, looking constantly for marine life like whales, otters, puffins, porpoises, and much more. The journey out can usually be considered a wildlife tour in and of itself.

When we get to Aialik Bay, we move onto the beach to where we have a cache of kayaks and gear. Once we get geared up, we do a safety overview and a brief paddling instruction, and then we're on our way to the glacier.

Important:

This is a water taxi that we share with other local companies. Kayak Adventures, Adventure 60 North, and sometimes Sunny Cove all share this taxi with us, so it is important to book this trip very early, as we are the smallest company that runs these trips, and once the seats on the taxi are filled, we can't add any more guests to our trips. 

Book This Trip

Small Water Taxi

Ride in a large, well-appointed water taxi out to Aialik Bay.

Please note that this ride, while usually calm, can sometimes get bumpy if weather comes in. We always do our best to make the ride comfortable, but we can't control the weather!

Water Taxi Capacity

 20

A maximum of 20 clients are on the boat during a trip. Many of these clients might be from other local guiding outfits, as we share this taxi with Kayak Adventures, Adventure 60 North, and sometimes Sunny Cove. 

Ride Time

 1.5 - 2.5hrs

The ride in the water taxi is roughly 1.5 to 2.5 hours in each direction. The exact time is highly dependant on weather, and wildlife sightings. Usually, one direction takes longer than the other because we're searching for whales.
