Paddle a sea kayak through iceberg-littered waters in Resurrection Bay, surrounded by hanging glaciers and wildlife-rich shoreline, guided by a seasoned Alaskan wilderness expert. Getting low on the water alongside calving ice is a profoundly elemental experience.
What to expect
After a thorough safety briefing and fitting on the beach, your guide leads the group into the glassy bay, reading tides and currents. Bald eagles perch on ice blocks; harbour porpoise surface beside your bow. The route passes beneath glacially carved cliffs where mountain goats pick impossible routes. On calm days the reflections of the Kenai peaks are mirror-perfect in the water. Even first-time paddlers find it accessible and transformative.
Good to know
No experience needed; tandem kayaks available. All gear provided. Half-day tours (4 hrs) allow comfortable return before all-aboard. Book directly on the Sunny Cove website; summer slots fill by April. Wear warm base layers — the guide provides dry-suit-grade splash gear over the top.
