Sea kayaking:
Sea kayaking is a popular way to experience the wilderness of Glacier Bay. Kayak trips can originate from Bartlett Cove, or the daily tour boat can transport kayakers via the camper drop-off service. Making reservations for a rental kayak and the daily tour boat is recommended well in advance. If you prefer, guided day and overnight kayak trips are available.
This trip is good for:
Anyone, even beginner paddlers, with experience navigating in wilderness, dealing with tides, and camping safely in bear country. At least some party members should know how to conduct an open-water rescue. While the waters in Glacier Bay tend to be placid during summer, tidal shifts are large and potentially dangerous, especially in narrow and shallow areas.
Getting There:
Fly into Gustavus, Alaska, the small gateway town to Glacier Bay National Park. Local carriers Wings of Alaska (907-789-0790, wingsofalaska.com) and Air Excursions (907-697-2375, airexcursions.com) provide air service in Southeast Alaska, including frequent flights from Juneau to Gustavus.
