Resurrection Bay, Seward, Alaska
Discover what we've curated for you
The guides here consistently shine in these reviews, with names like Bird, Lauren, Momo, Kelly, Jackson, and Blaine earning particular praise for their knowledge, safety consciousness, and genuine passion for Alaska's wilderness. People rave about the Bear Glacier helicopter and kayaking combination, calling it a once-in-a-lifetime experience paddling among massive icebergs. The Exit Glacier hikes and Resurrection Bay kayaking also get stellar feedback. The team, especially Deklan in the office, receives compliments for going above and beyond with patient communication and handling complex booking needs. A couple of hiccups appear in the reviews. One guest was disappointed their guide brought a young child along on what should have been a personalized tour. Another felt the kayak-to-glacier trip was rushed without enough wildlife viewing time on the water taxi return. The gold panning experience left some adults feeling it wasn't worth the cost for what amounted to a brief, somewhat staged activity. These seem like isolated incidents though, as the overwhelming majority describe smooth operations, perfect guide-to-guest ratios, and that magical combination of adventure and safety that makes for an unforgettable Alaskan experience.
We had the BEST time tandem kayaking as a family in Seward, Alaska! The views were absolutely breathtaking—mountains, wildlife, and that crisp Alaskan air. What made it even more special was our guide, Morgan. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt safe and had fun. We laughed a lot, learned so much about the area, and made some unforgettable memories on the water. Highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Seward. Thank you, Morgan, for such a fantastic adventure! Highly recommend this company. We had a perfect day with magical experiences our kids will never forget.
