- Emerald Coast Wildlife Cruise and Kayaking from Seward
Overview
Resurrection Bay, always beautiful, is particularly magical in the morning. It makes the early departure on this kayaking excursion well worth it. After gearing up at the operator's office in Seward, you'll take a quick van transfer to the harbor to catch your private water taxi out onto the water.
Particularly magical in the morning.
The water taxi is a comfortable vessel with spacious indoor seating for six. The boat ride lasts about 45 minutes, with stops to watch otters, porpoises, harbor seals, sea birds, and possibly even whales. Your paddle starts from the boat, a process that's pretty easy thanks to a cradle that keeps the kayak steady as you climb in. Soon you're paddling, surrounded by mossy cliffsides and towering trees, with bald eagles chittering above.
There's something for everyone here. Birds, a wealth of intertidal creatures, fascinating geology, and even a few caves for the more adventurous to poke into as conditions allow. After two hours or so of leisurely paddling and exploration, you'll meet the water taxi for a midday return to Seward.

Guest Feedback
"Thank you Alaska Tour & Travel. Your pre-planning made for an incredible vacation, one that I know we would have been unable to coordinate on our own. This was the best vacation we've ever had."
