For
a closer, quieter, and more peaceful
version of the Alaskan glacier
and wildlife cruise, consider
seeing it by sea kayak. Seward
offers some of the finest paddling
anywhere, and Sunny
Cove Sea Kayaking Company will
take you there.
Paddle the shoreline
of Resurrection Bay, where encounter
with sea otters, seabirds,
and spawning salmon are common.
Choose from a variety of 3-hour
excursions-most popular for
the day/overnight traveler-or
a full-day trip.
Enjoy a half-day
wilderness paddle of the secluded
coves and sea stacks around remote
Fox Island, where you'll see
bird rookeries and stellar sea.
Then spend a half-day on a small-boat
wildlife cruise into Kenai Fjords
National Park, complete with
a salmon-bake lunch.
Or go for the Kenai Fjords
National Park Grand Day Tour,
which begins with a private-charter
cruise all the way to Aialik
Bay, where the massive Holgate
Glacier lies. A rich variety
of marine wildlife fills these
mile-deep fjords, from whales
and porpoises to sea lions and
puffins. Then enjoy an afternoon
of sea kayaking past crackling
icebergs and towering glaciers
within the park.
Sunny Cove's wide variety of
trips suits novices as well as
experienced paddlers. Lessons
are available if you want to
get more comfortable with the
kayak before venturing out on
a paddle tour.
