Day 1 - During the morning of the first day the guides will familiarize the group with the agenda for the coming days and give an introductory instruction on sea kayaking. We load onto a motor boat for the quick and scenic ride out to Potato Point. From the motor boat, we load into the kayaks and follow the magnificent coastline to Shoup Bay State Park. The afternoon will be spent exploring the upper bay at Shoup Glacier. We will find sea otters, seals, and a spectacular rookery of Black-legged Kittiwakes. This will be our first experience with floating ice and calving glaciers. The guide will take everyone on a glacier hike to look for ice caves and get a birds eye view of the glacier. The campsite is one of the best in the sound! Set your tent with a glacier view and waterfalls cascading down the hillside next to you. The guides always prepare a tasty dinner over a fire.

Day 2 - After a casual morning of exploration the group will head back toward Valdez. Paddling back offers a wonderful experience of covering a long coastline by kayak. The typical afternoon breeze will push us back to port. We stop for lunch at Gold Creek State Park and enjoy a walk to view the waterfalls. We return to Valdez by early afternoon.
