Aialik Northwestern Fjords Explorer Glacier Kayaking and Wildlife Viewing

This captain's choice full-day tour has it all; iceberg-filled fjords, stunning scenery, magnificent alpine and tidewater glaciers, towering waterfalls and world-class wildlife. We firmly believe that this is the best kayaking day trip offered in the fjords out of Seward.

You meet us at the Liquid Adventures office at 8:30am the morning of your trip and get geared up for your adventure. The scenic ride to Kenai Fjords National Park is about 2-3 hours on a custom-built, brand new, comfortable, and heated vessel. We will be searching for Humpback and Orca whales, Dalls porpoise, Stellar sea lions and other marine mammals along the way. Your kayak guide will also share their knowledge about all the critters and area history if you like. Because we actively search for whales and other wildlife, this trip should be considered half whale watching, half kayaking tour.

The boat captain will choose the best fjords to paddle in for the day. There are a multitude of exceptional areas to paddle in within Kenai Fjords, and having our own, fast boat allows us to take weather, wildlife, and group dynamics into account when we choose where to explore for the day. After we are dropped off, we will spend fifteen or twenty minutes talking about paddling technique and safety. The rest of the paddling day is spent exploring and paddling through beautiful fjords and active tidewater glaciers. Curious harbor seals may poke their heads through the floating ice chunks to watch you paddle by, and often black bears walk the shore. A delicious, homemade lunch is served on this trip.

What a perfect way to experience Alaska's wild country…from the seat of a kayak.

This awesome adventure runs daily and just may be the highlight of your Alaska vacation. You can expect to be back in Seward between 5:30- 7PM, depending on where the captain takes us for the day.
