 Transfer
by bus to North Douglas Island for scenic views of Mendenhall
Glacier and Auke Bay. Upon arrival you’ll be outfitted
in life jackets and raingear before beginning your adventure.
Your experienced guide will teach you about paddling
techniques, then you’ll board two person kayaks
with a new friend or traveling companion for an excursion
that will leave you wanting more.
The stable yet nimble
kayaks will allow you to silently approach any wildlife
in the area and give you a sense
of how the famed Aleut Indians traveled the coastal waterways
of Alaska in search of pelts for the Russian fur trading
companies.
You will be led in groups of
five to six kayaks to places such as the Mendenhall
Wetlands where you
may have the
opportunity to view the Mendenhall Glacier from an ocean
explorer’s point of view. Your guide will explain
the significance of places such as Smugglers Cove, the
history of the surrounding area, and help identify local
flora and fauna. You may see porpoise, seals, sea lions,
eagles, herons, or even whales.
INCLUDES: Round trip transfer, kayak
instruction and guide, raingear, lifejackets and snack.
Souvenir T-shirts are available for purchase at the conclusion
of the tour.
