Highlights

Immerse yourself in the wonder of Auke Bay with our captivating coastal kayak adventure, complete with a short stopover at the Mendenhall Glacier. Your journey commences with comprehensive instruction from our experienced guides on paddling techniques and safety procedures, ensuring you're well-prepared for the upcoming exploration. With our double kayaks at the ready, you'll embark with your group to experience an array of stunning views on the ocean set against the backdrop of mountain peaks. During the summer months, you'll likely encounter leaping salmon and inquisitive harbor seals as you glide over shallow waters. Keep an eye out for the delicate beauty of starfish and the mesmerizing world of anemones. Don't forget to look to the skies where graceful eagles often soar overhead. After your kayaking adventure you'll continue your journey to the shores of West Glacier Trail where you'll have distant views of the Mendenhall Glacier, Nugget Falls, and the surrounding mountain peaks.
