Multi-Day Kayak Camping Adventures
Aialik Bay or Northwestern Fjords
We are currently taking waitlist requests for our multi-day trips for 2025, due to limited available seats.
Imagine yourself falling asleep to the rumbling of a tidewater glacier, dreaming of paddling amongst the cliffs, spires, and wildlife of Kenai Fjords National Park. Let us guide you on a fully guided multi-day, small group adventure, where you’ll wake up to the lapping of waves on pebbled beaches, paddle amongst seals perched upon ‘bergy’ bits, and eat specialty meals on the cobbled beaches of Aialik Bay or Northwestern Fjord in Kenai Fjords National Park.

Aialik Bay Kayak Camping
Join us in an exploration of Aialik Bay, where Holgate and Aialik Glaciers shed ice into blue-green waters, creating some of the most magnificent scenery in Kenai Fjords National Park. Aialik Bay's vistas encompass massive hanging glaciers on the sides of the mountains towering above to tidewater glaciers flowing into the sea below. This wonderland of mountains and ice gives us an opportunity for a once-in-a-lifetime, up close, and personal wilderness experience.
Our longer trips focus on getting acquainted with the nooks and crannies of Aialik Bay. Expect a mix of beach walking, opportunities for photography, and paddling with time for wildlife watching and contemplation. Rarely do people get a chance to experience true wilderness. One of the major advantages of having an extra day or two is the increased time to absorb this unique place. This wilderness journey is available as a three to six-day adventure.

Northwestern Fjord Kayak Camping
Considered by many the jewel of Alaska's Kenai Fjords National Park, Northwestern Fjords is a sea kayaking paradise. Calving tidewater glaciers, icebergs, abundant marine life, stark granite walls, quiet lagoons, and lush valleys await. Unlike any other area along this coast, Northwestern Fjord was covered by glaciers less than 100 years ago. This newly revealed landscape is in the early stages of post-glacial revegetation. Glacially scarred granite walls create an austere beauty providing a unique glimpse back in geological time. This Alaskan adventure tour creates lasting lifetime impressions.
Our longer trips focus on getting acquainted with the nooks and crannies of Northwestern Fjord. Expect a mix of exploring, beach walking, and paddling. We'll leave some time for photography, wildlife watching, and contemplation. Rarely do people get a chance to experience true wilderness. One of the major advantages of having an extra day or two is the increased time to absorb this unique place. Available in three to six-day adventures.
