Early this morning, make your way to the Adventure Centre at the Seward Boat Harbour to meet your Sunny Cove Kayaking guides who will escort you to our private charter, the Ascension to meet Captain’s Josh or Mike and Deckhand Hallie before getting underway. Our boat is fast, and we typically arrive at our destination before any of the larger tour boats arrive. That means we often have the entire area to ourselves while kayaking! After the 55-mile trip around the Cape into Aialik Bay we will reach our launch beach. Once on shore we'll spend about a half hour getting you outfitted and running through basic kayaking instruction.

After your instructions, we'll have approximately 3 hours (3-5 miles) of kayaking along the rugged shoreline. Along the way, we'll take breaks to immerse ourselves in the sights, sounds and sensations of floating near an actively calving tidewater glacier. Following our kayaking tour, we'll re-board our private charter vessel to seek out whales, sea lions, seals, puffins, killer whales and more for a few hours as we cruise back to Seward. Having a fast, private charter boat means we have lots of time to search for wildlife after we wrap up kayaking. Our typical return time to Seward is 4:30p - 5:00p but is dependent upon wildlife viewing, weather conditions and boat speed. The tour includes all gear necessary for kayaking and, also includes a picnic lunch, morning & afternoon snacks. ...read less
