Half-Day Tonsina Creek Kayaking Adventure from Seward

Sightseeing  :  United States  :  Alaska  :  Seward  :  Kayaking & Canoeing

Embark on an incredible 3-hour kayaking adventure during either the daytime or evening hours. Spend time in Seward's beautiful Resurrection Bay where you can spot wildlife such as orcas, otters, and eagles. Arrive at Tonsina Creek where, depending on the season, you may observe thousands of salmon and enjoy a nice snack.Meet your guide at the harbor, shuttle out to the beach, and begin with basic sea kayaking instructions. Once on the water, your guide will provide an informative narration about the small, fascinating creatures in the inter-tidal zone and geological features along the rocky shoreline. Resurrection Bay is rich with geological history and there are many opportunities for wildlife viewing.

Watch for otters and eagles as you paddle to a small tidal creek to explore a ghost forest and an Alaskan salmon habitat. Late in the summer, Tonsina Creek is filled with running salmon, and it is a huge treat to be able to watch these incredible fish swim up the stream to their spawning grounds at the end of their fascinating life cycle. Halfway through this relaxing paddle, beach your boat along the shore for a refreshing homemade snack and drink. Once you are finished, proceed to head back to the harbor and conclude your day.
