Alaska Sea Kayaking - Sunny Cove Sea Kayaking

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.

Details: No experience necessary, suitable for a wide variety of fitness and skill levels. Minimum age requirement: 12 years for full-day trips and 8 years for shorter trips (some exceptions).
