Day by Day Sample Itinerary
Day 1 - Meet at the shop at around 9:00 a.m. for an introductory lesson on sea kayaking. From there we go down to the sailboat and meet the captain and cook. Once aboard the yacht the captain will assign each person or couple their private birth and introduce everyone to the features and comforts available aboard the sailing craft. The mothership will depart from the dock around noon. The first afternoon is spent at Shoup Glacier State Park. We get into the kayaks and paddle up to the face of the glacier to watch it calve. There is also great hiking opportunities here. Returning to the charter boat we can relax on deck for the cruise to our nights anchor in Sawmill Bay.
(Lunch) (Dinner)
Day 2 - Wake up to a hot breakfast and a scenic cruise to Glacier Island for a paddle with the sea lions. We will each lunch on board the charter boat and cruise to Heather Bay. Here we will set anchor and paddle into the ice bergs. Explore the bay and gaze over the floating ice field fed by Alaska's largest tide water glacier, Columbia Glacier. There are always many seals, sea otters, and water birds in Heather Bay. A relaxing evening in Emerald Cove is a great way to finish the day.
