I am planning a visit to Anchorage in late July with my wife and 7 year-old daughter. We’re planning a day trip to Seward for a sled dog tour, but the train back to Anchorage leaves late that afternoon, leaving us with time to kill in Seward. Is Seward and Resurrection Bay a good place to kayak? Can anyone recommend a good kayaking tour or rental company? I’m looking at Backcountry Safaris right now, so if anyone can comment on that company in particular, that would be especially helpful. Thanks!
I dont know if kyacking is good but when your down there in Sewerd the Sea Life Center is always a good place to visit.
not too sure about seward, but kayaking in Whittier is absolutly wonderful.. I live in Anchorage, and I’ve kayaked Whittier several times.. There are rentals right there on the water, but I can’t remember the name of the company.. Enjoy
Backcountry is a good company accordingly to some friends who used them in 2005. They took a trip that lasted most of the day and were well satisfied. We spent a week in Seward last year, I wanted to try the kayaking thing but my wife wasn’t capable. We canoe in the lower 48, but kayaking was to demanding for her. Resurrection Bay is pretty large and your time might be limited to really do a good trip. Check their short trips and maybe you’ll find something you like. Have a good trip if you do.
Alaskan Girl had a good idea with the Sea Life Center. There are enough things to see and do to keep you busy for a day. You’ll see many animals and birds that you might miss otherwise.
If you can catch a ride out to Exit Glacier there’s many hours to be spent out there. There’s several trails to different sections of the glacier.
