the calm waters of duck flats in our double or triple person sea
kayaks. This 3 hour excursion includes on land instruction and
guided sea kayaking. From our dock in the small boat harbor, the
group will paddle into the calm protected waters of Duck Flats. The
path of the tour will follow a chain of small Islands recognized for
their nesting birds and sun bathing seals. Paddling into the depths
of Duck Flats will bring us to the nesting sites of Bald Eagles and
ravens. Enjoy the discussions of natural history as well as the
history of Valdez. This is a wonderful paddle for first time
paddlers having a short time frame.
Gold Creek Coastal: Starting from the small boat harbor we
will venture into Prince William Sound on a coastal exploration to
Gold Creek State Park. The paddle will treat us to sights of seals,
sea lions and sea otters. Enjoy this more remote paddle to a
wonderful beach for a picnic lunch. Hike through ancient rain
forests to cascading waterfalls. Keep your eyes out for black bears
and jumping salmon. The return to Valdez will follow the same route
back to the small boat harbor. This tour is an excellent choice for
those who have a longer day but do not wish to spend the money for
the Shoup Glacier Tour.
Shoup Glacier: The Shoup Glacier Day tour is the most
spectacular of its kind in the world. Climb aboard our motor boat
for a taxi ride to Shoup Bay where we will begin this scenic
journey. This tour offers the full spectrum of wildlife from seals
and sea otters to nesting birds, bald eagles, and maybe even whales.
Over the course of the day we will paddle past floating icebergs,
past a nesting colony of Black Legged Kittiwakes, and up to the face
of the glacier. Enjoy the picnic spot with a colorful glacier view.
At the end of the paddle we will be picked up by the motor boat for
the ride back to Valdez. This day tour is highly suggested for those
with the time. Words can not describe the beauty.

Heather Bay to go sea kayaking. The guides will take you on a paddle
through the icebergs of Columbia Glacier and the on a short hike on
