Sea Kayak Tour of Duck Flats

ITINERARY

duckflats-2 An exciting and educational sea kayaking tour to Duck Flats in our tandem sea kayaks.

  • This 3 hour paddle includes on-land instruction and guided sea kayaking. From our dock in the small boat harbor, the group will sea kayak into the calm, protected waters of Duck Flats.
  • The path of the tour will head out past the new harbor to follow a chain of small islands recognized for their nesting birds and sun-bathing seals.
  • Enjoy the discussions of natural history as well as the history of Valdez.

This is a wonderful sea kayak tour for first-time paddlers having a short time frame. Please note, on sunny days the wind can kick up a bit in the afternoons!

   What Our Clients Say


The tour was outstanding by any/all measures – story telling, knowledge of the facts and information, attention to safety, etc. I was really impressed by [the guide’s] level of knowledge of the site, the overall operations, the specific functions of the buildings we toured, and the equipment we looked at.

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.

Copper Oar gave us an unforgettable experience exploring the incredible Wrangell St Elias NP – a trip which I would have no hesitation flying halfway around the world for again. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

The Nizina trip was wonderful, as was the Glacier Climbing. […] Thank you again for a fabulous experience. You, Carleton, Jules and the entire group are just great.

All of our expectations were more than exceeded! Gaia was more than helpful in organizing our flights to McCarthy, she organized free transport while we were there to visit the mines, She gave us a bedroom free of charge in the power house. She simply tried harder. Gaia was very quick replying with emails… very detailed emails too!!

The whole Copper River Rafting Trip trip was totally amazing, each day was spectacular! The knowledge, skill and professionalism of the guides in each area each day was very interesting. The spectacular “Groover” scenery each day was awesome. The food was way better than we expected too… It was camping with luxury food and the worlds most scenic camp sites each night.

But the main thing was forgetting about regular life, not seeing anyone or any cars for the whole week. Thank you to Gaia, Nik and Jake for making it a special time away for us. We have been away from home in Australia for almost a year now and this has been our most special part!

We’ve been in Alaska for 1 week and have had a phenomenal trip. Today was my favorite day: outstanding weather, fun & knowledgeable guide, amazing glacier features, both kids did a polar bear plunge in a gorgeous heart-shaped blue pool. Incredible!

I cannot think of grand enough words to describe the vacation you arranged for us. Alaska was absolutely beautiful and the plans you made allowed us to enjoy its full splendor. I hated to leave at the end of the journey. I felt as though I was leaving good friends behind. What a glorious trip!

Thank you so much for the Copper river trip. It was fabulous. The guides were the best I have ever been with. I’ve done a lot of river trips and this was the best!

Lucas is a fantastic guide. While I was new to pretty much everything on the trip (ice hiking and climbing, pack rafting, etc.), I always felt encouraged to reach beyond my comfort zone and try to accomplish more without ever feeling unsafe. He’s very thoughtful, always enthusiastic, and surprisingly personable for a White Sox fan.
