Paddle through the waters of Shoup Bay on a kayak tour with a motor boat ride. Enjoy a scenic ride on a motor boat to Shoup Bay, where you’ll begin your kayak tour.

 

EXPERIENCE:

Paddle around ancient, freshly calved ice and land on newborn beaches. With massive tide swings and ever-changing calving rates, every day is different in the Columbia Glacier zone.

Climb aboard a motor boat for a water taxi ride to Shoup Bay, where you will begin this scenic journey. Over the course of the day, 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, be picked up by the motorboat for the ride back to Valdez.
