Overview
Rating: Easy
This is your opportunity for us to show you first-hand the beauty of Seward, Lowell Point, and Resurrection Bay. While making our way to our kayaking location, learn about life in Seward, both past and present, from your driver guide, who will narrate as we make our way through town.
As we leave the paved streets of Seward, we’ll travel along the shoreline of Resurrection Bay on the gravel surface of Lowell Point Road. We’ll view turquoise blue waters and beautiful mountain vistas while we travel comfortably by van to our private beach.
Upon reaching our launch location, you’ll meet your kayaking guides for a trip briefing before heading out onto the water. We'll paddle the shoreline surrounded by mountains and glacial vistas, gliding through the waters, and looking for the graceful movements of the harbor porpoise or the industrious sea otters diving for their lunch.
We'll go ashore and explore our local temperate rainforest, looking for waterfalls along the way. This excursion includes hot drinks and a hearty snack. Children 8 and up are welcome to kayak with an adult in our two-person kayaks.
