Difficulty

Private group paddling in the rugged fjords

This trip is great for beginner paddlers, but you do need to be comfortable moving around on the beach and sitting in a kayak for several hours. We do paddle in most weather, so please come prepared for rain!


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. 

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

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

Be sure to ask us for recommendations on specific clothing and gear.  Good rain gear is a must.

The Journey to the Glacial Fjords

HIDE

Cruise to the fjords on your private vessel, The Gus Marmot

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

After boarding, it's roughly a 2 hour ride to Holgate Arm. 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 our destination, we unload the kayaks or SUPs and cast off from the vessel, which will hang out and meet us at the end of the day.

This is a private vessel used exclusively for our tours that is comfortable and fast, offering a very exclusive experience.

Book This Trip

Small Water Taxi

Ride in a small, well-appointed water taxi out to the Glacial Fjords.

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

 6

It's just your small group on this trip!

Ride Time

 2-3hrs

The ride in the water taxi is roughly 2-3 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.
