Shoup Glacier Kayak
The Shoup Glacier Day tour offers an intimate experience at one of Alaska's beautiful marine state parks. Climb aboard our motor boat for a water taxi ride to Shoup Bay, where we will begin this scenic journey. Over the course of the day we will paddle up a fjord that has been revealed by a retreating glacier, past a nesting colony of black-legged kittiwakes, along a lush, waterfall-laden coastline, and up towards the face of the glacier. Enjoy a short walk on the beach and a lunch spot with a marvelous glacier view. At the end of the paddle we will be picked up by the motorboat for the ride back to Valdez,Trip Length
