- Fox Island Kayaking from Seward Afternoon
Overview
Your afternoon adventure starts in the Seward Small Boat Harbor where, after boarding a tour boat bound for Fox Island, you head into the deep blue water of Resurrection Bay. The boat ride is a scenic wonder. Mountains rise from the water and with a little luck you'll catch a glimpse of seals, porpoises, and maybe even a whale along the way.
A haven for wildlife.
It takes about an hour to get to your destination for the day. Fox Island stretches some three miles along the southeastern side of Resurrection Bay. After a hearty lunch at a day lodge set back in the trees, you'll be met by your kayak guides for the afternoon.
Once you're geared up and prepped with the basics of sea kayaking, it's off into the water. The rocky island is a haven for scores of wildlife, both land and marine. Sea stars and urchins dot the tidal pools you paddle past, seabirds dip and dive along your path. Waterfalls, shy seals, a bald eagle or two. It's all part of the Fox Island kayaking experience. Your trip wraps ups with a return boat ride to Seward.
