Kayak Adventures has partnered with one of the best private charter captains in the Seward area, Captain Mike Brittain, to bring you a custom, on the water lodging, kayaking and exploration adventure experience unlike any other!

This plush, multi-day adventure experience will put you on board the STARR, where you will have a virtual condominium on the water for several days of exploring the best locations that Kenai Fjord National Park has to offer!

Your accommodations on the ship will provide you with the highest level of comfort with cozy comfortable beds, hot showers, flushing toilets, and comfortable living and dining space where you can gather with your guide, captain and fellow adventurers each day for good food and fellowship, and to recap each days adventure!

The beauty of these trips is not only in the level of comfort on-board the ship that you will enjoy, but also in the level of customization and unique experiences that each trip provides. On these unique custom adventures, your captain will not just scurry from one point to the next as with other standardized tours and conventional water taxis. These Mothership Trips allow you the flexibility to explore at your leisure and adapt each day’s adventures to where the weather is best, where the wildlife is hanging out, and wherever your wanderlust is leading you.

These trips provide the greatest versatility and flexibility to experience and explore the best parts of Kenai Fjord National Park in comfort and style, on your timeline and according to your own spirit of adventure!

Terms & Policies

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.

At the time of booking, a 50% deposit is required to secure your Mothership Trip. For all Mothership trips, guests will receive a full refund for cancellations made prior to April 1, 2021. After April 1, guests will receive a 90% refund for all cancellations made at least 1 month prior to your trip date. Within 1 month of your trip date, guests will receive a 50% refund for all cancellations made at least 2 weeks prior to your trip date. Any cancellations made within 2 weeks of your trip date will incur full charges.Mothership trips involve more logistics and limited availability, so while our Mothership refund policy is generous, it reflects these limitations.

If you decide to cancel your trip with us, please consider transferring your payment to a gift card. 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.
