Trips run rain or shine! This is a coastal rainforest and thus there is a lot of rainy days. Weather cancellations are rare and made only when conditions are considered unsafe for paddling. Please remember that these are outdoor activities, and Mother Nature is always the one in charge.
Trips may be delayed or cancelled due to rough seas or strong winds. It is recommend that you leave extra days both before and after your scheduled trip in case the weather does not cooperate.
If your trip has a delayed start time or an early pick-up time due to weather, but the trip still runs on the dates planned, there will be no refund or pro-rated cost. Trips will not be cancelled solely on account of rain, so please be prepared for that.
For all tours without a water taxi (Resurrection Bay Half Day Tours and Caines Head Day Trips), guests will receive a full refund for cancellations made more than 1 week prior to your trip date. Within 1 week, your trip fees are nonrefundable.

That way you can join us in the future, whether it’s this summer or a future season, providing an easy way to postpone your vacation plans while continuing to support our small, locally-owned business.
Travel insurance is strongly suggested for all guests, to ensure protection against cancellation penalties and many other unforeseeable circumstances, such as an emergency medical evacuation. The weather in Alaska can sometimes delay trips for a couple of days, and it’s worth being financially covered for any changes to your itinerary.

855-684-3400
A great option for those who want to immerse themselves into Kenai Fjords National Park and Alaska’s wild backcountry, but don’t want to hassle with packing all of the gear along, as well as those who just prefer to enjoy the experience without dealing with all the set-up, tear-down and meal prep.
These fully-outfitted, multi-day trips allow you to enjoy all of the best locations and make the most of your time camping in Kenai Fjords wild backcountry while leaving the set-up and tear down of camp to someone else. Your package includes a wildlife boat tour, kayaks and all the gear you need for your kayaking adventure, high quality rain gear if needed, and all your camping gear, (minus sleeping bag and sleeping pad – although those are available for rent if necessary.) Also included in your package are all of your meals (warm, healthy and made from scratch), as well as snacks, coffee and hot drinks.
Three different adventure options are available, with plenty of customization available for each, to fit your desires.
Aialik Bay Adventure
The Aialik Bay area is hard to beat when it comes to incredible scenery, wildlife exposure and adventure with the tidewater viewing experiences. Explore impressive fjords, watch the massive tidewater glacier as it calves into the bay, explore lagoons and paddle beneath thundering waterfalls! This trip offers a lot of value in a relatively economical package!
Northwestern Fjord Adventure
If your idea of adventure is getting away fro the crowds and immersing yourself in the Alaska wild, then this might be the option you are looking for. The rugged landscape of the Northwestern Fjord has only recently been exposed from the retreating glacier and an underwater gravel bar stretches along the moraine making it impossible for larger vessels to enter the fjord which makes this area much more isolated and secluded.
Aialik / Northwestern Combo Tour
Can’t decide? The Aialik & Northwestern Combo Tour allows you to experience the best of both area in one amazing trip! This 6-day guided tour gives you the time and opportunity to spend a few days exploring both areas!
