These calving glaciers provide rich nutrient to the water that attract a variety of wildlife. Black bears and seals gather near the glaciers, and whales feed offshore.

Alaska Sea Kayaking Adventures To Kenai Fjords National Park
Aialik Bay offers a great diversity of wildlife. It is the most diverse Alaska sea kayak adventure available. We often see humpback whales and pods of orca whales. Other wildlife we often see are porpoises, harbor seals, sea otters, black bears, mountain goats, bald eagles, and puffins. On the longer trips we sea kayak through numerous rock arches while we explore the rugged coast of this maritime fjord. Three huge glaciers slide into the ocean and we explore them all on our 5 and 7-day trips. We safely sea kayak among huge icebergs trapped in a lagoon and hike up to a great napping spot on the tundra. On all our Aialik Bay sea kayaking adventures you'll witness the awesome power of calving glaciers from the best seat in house, your kayak. Thunderous booms from the calving tidewater glaciers will serenade you to sleep under the midnight sun. You'll see lots of waterfalls cascading down shear granite walls. You can even sea kayak under waterfalls, if you're bold. Let our experienced Alaska sea kayak guides and gourmet food make this a vacation you will never forget.
