"A sea lion's view of Alaska."

Transfer by bus to North Douglas Island for scenic views of the 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 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.
