Sea kayaking in Alaska means paddling through icebergs calved off tidewater glaciers, watching harbor seals haul out on ice floes ten feet from your bow, and camping on beaches that don’t appear on most maps. Our trips launch from Icy Bay in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, where three tidewater glaciers flow into a bay that didn’t exist 100 years ago. It’s one of the most dynamic landscapes on earth, and you see it all from sea level.
These posts cover what it’s actually like out there. Trip reports, wildlife encounters, glacier conditions, paddling logistics, and the kind of stuff you only learn by spending years on the water in this part of Alaska. If you’re thinking about a sea kayaking trip in Alaska, start here.
