Shoup Glacier Kayak

The Shoup Glacier Day tour offers an intimate experience at one of Alaska's beautiful water glaciers. Climb aboard our motor boat for a taxi ride to Shoup Bay where we will begin this scenic journey. Over the course of the day we will paddle past floating ice, past a nesting colony of Black-Legged Kittiwakes, and up to the face of the glacier. Enjoy a short walk on the beach and a lunch spot with a colorful glacier view. Please make sure to bring your own lunch, we will provide hot drinks and snacks. At the end of the paddle we will be picked up by the motorboat for the ride back to Valdez.
