Kenai Fjords NP Adventure

Aialik Day Kayaking and Exit Glacier Ice Hiking

Aialik Kayaking:  The kayaking trip meets at the Kayak Adventures Worldwide office at 7:30am before starting your day with a 2-hour water taxi out to Aialik Bay.  Often the boat ride will encounter whales, sea lions, mountain goats, sea otters, and other wildlife along the way. 

 Better than a large tour boat ride, the water taxi is small and provides an intimate experience with your guide and captain.  Learn all about the area, the wildlife you see and the natural history of Kenai Fjords on the way to and from your paddle.

Once in the fjords, you’ll spend the day paddling to Aialik Glacier.  Aialik is a very actively calving tidewater glacier, and often massive chunks of ice will plummet into the sea below.  Harbor seals curiously poke their heads through floating ice chunks, and black bears wander the beaches and hillsides nearby. 

 A perfect way to experience glaciers and mountains of the fjords… from the seat of a kayak! Lunch is served at a small beach near the glacier where, if time allows, a short hike brings you to sweeping view across the face of Aialik Glacier- a wonderful spot to view calving from!  

Check out Kayak Adventures' website for more information on this trip.

Ice Hiking:  The Ice Hike is our signature tour at Exit Glacier Guides and is a full day of hiking and playing in the mountains outside of Seward.  Walking on a glacier is a surreal experience, one that is not easily put into words.  Check out our Exit Glacier Ice Hiking page on the website for more description and details.
