If you only have one shot at visiting Alaska, this is the trip for you! It’s the “triple crown” of sea kayaking, with the most diverse and rewarding experiences in Alaska you’ll ever find. On Admiralty Island, which boasts the highest concentration of brown bears in the world, you’ll watch bears fish for salmon at the Stan Price/Pack Creek Brown Bear Sanctuary, one of the few areas in the world where you can view bears in the wild this close. You’ll also paddle sea kayaks at Point Adolphus in the Inside Passage, a famous feeding ground attracting countless marine mammals (humpback whales, sea lions, and seals among others), then head to Glacier Bay National Park for an overnight kayaking expedition amidst a panorama of sprawling tidewater glaciers, icebergs, and stunning mountain peaks. Our comprehensive adventure alternates hotel and inn accommodations with wilderness camping for a real taste of Alaska’s legendary wilds.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • See whales, bears, glaciers, and iceburgs up close—all on one trip!
  • Paddle to the world-famous Pack Creek Brown Bear Sanctuary for an exciting day of observing bears in the wild
  • Overnight kayaking and camping expedition in Glacier Bay
  • Kayak at Point Adolphus, Alaska’s most active humpback whale feeding area

Check out our Alaska Feature. Slideshows, stories, facts, and more.
