Your Custom Sea Kayaking Package Includes

• Dry Suit - We supply dry suits to keep you warm, dry, and help protect you from hypothermia in Alaska's cold waters. Other Seward sea kayaking outfitters provide (or rent at extra cost) rain gear and rubber boots that offer little protection. Another advantage to dry suits is that if the weather turns wet, they add warmth and a comfort level you would not think possible in this maritime environment.
• Single Kayaks - We provide an option to paddle your own single-person kayak. Most other outfitters use only two-person kayaks. Please inquire.
• Specialty Equipment - No hidden or added gear costs to our trip cost. We supply the specialized outdoor gear you need. Other outfitters may require you to pay extra to rent gear or you may have to buy gear you may use only once. We supply our guests with dry suits, high quality rain gear, rubber boots, pogies (kayaking gloves) to keep your hands warm, tents, sleeping pads, sleeping bag if needed and dry bags to pack your gear in.
• Anchorage Departure - Transportation to Seward by the Alaska Railroad and motor coach back to Anchorage

ITINERARY **
Arrival - Plan to arrive in Seward at least one day before your kayak trip departure date. Meet with Backcountry Safaris to get outfitted with a dry suit, rain gear, rubber boots, and dry bags.

Day 1 - Our guides will pick you at one of the local hotels at 7:00 a.m. or if you choose you can meet us at the small boat ramp. With team effort we will load our sea kayaks and gear onto an ocean charter vessel for a 4-hour marine wildlife and glacier cruise to our first camp. Along the way, we round Cape Aialik, pass Caines Head, Bear Glacier, and a Stellar sea lion haulout. We'll set up camp, then paddle up to face of Holgate Glacier to watch the glacier calve and watch the seals playing on the icebergs.

Day 2 - Today we break camp and head for Pedersen Lagoon, which is used by harbor seals to escape from orca whales. A beautiful glacier empties into an upper lagoon filling it with massive icebergs. This area is teeming with wildlife including bears, eagles, waterfowl, shorebirds, sea otters and harbor seals. Wolves and coyotes have also been reported in this area.

Day 3 - We break camp early morning and head out of Pederson lagoon to meet our charter boat for our ride back to Seward. Our shuttle driver will meet us at the dock and take you to back to your hotel.
