Alaska Kayak Tour Itinerary

    • Day 1 - During the morning the guides will familiarize the group with the upcoming agenda of the kayak tour and give introductory sea kayak instruction. We load onto a motorboat for the quick and scenic ride out to Shoup Bay Marine State Park. Once we're free of the water taxi and in our kayaks, we'll spend the day exploring the upper bay of the park, searching for sea otters, seals, and viewing a spectacular rookery of Black-Legged Kittiwakes. At the head of the fjord and accessible by kayak is the face of the Shoup Glacier. Here there is also the option to hike up along side the glacier and gain stellar views from above. The campsite is one of the best in the sound! Set your tent with a prime view of the glacier and waterfalls cascading down all around. The guides always prepare a tasty dinner! ( Lunch) (Dinner)
 
  • Day 2 - After a casual morning of exploration the group will head back toward Valdez. Paddling back offers a wonderful experience of covering a steep, lush 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. (Breakfast) (Lunch)

If an amazing, Alaskan wilderness experience is what you seek, you won’t do better than Copper Oar. With my 10 and 8 year-old sons, we floated the Nizina River, hiked on the Kennicott Glacier and sea kayaked in the glacier-filled fjords and bays outside of Valdez. Every moment of the trip was memorable. The guides were well-qualified and knowledgeable. The trip was immaculately planned and executed. And, most important, the wilderness was magnificent.

Copper Oar and St. Elias Alpine Guides exceeded my expectations. They helped me fulfill my dream of plein air painting on an extended wilderness trip. Their high level of professionalism, knowledge, and skill coupled with the right equipment led to a safe, comfortable trip.

I enjoyed my guides’ and fellow travelers good cheer, humor, companionship, not to mention the tasty meals. I am planning on returning for more adventures with St. Elias and Copper Oar.

The Food Was GREAT! It was well prepared, plenty of variety, very filling. I’d say we were well taken care of! Day time snacks and lunches were well timed and filling. Breakfast was a treat and dinners were always a surprise and a great affair.

I was looking for a wilderness adventure and I found it with the Copper Oar/St. Elias Alpine Guides. The guides’ attention to detail, knowledge of Alaska and love of nature was abundant. They made the trip! Every day was a new adventure. Whether the days were warm or cold, they were gorgeous, rich with beautiful landscape and wild life. I will be talking about this trip for many years to come.
