Glacier Bay East Arm
Experience some of the most incredible glaciated terrain in the world all from the quiet solitude of your sea kayak! Explore the East Arm of Glacier Bay where the scenery is stunning, the wildlife plentiful, and the wilderness is truly wild.
On this trip we will take a boat shuttle into the East Arm and begin our wilderness kayaking tour from there. We will paddle the Adams and Muir Inlets and visit the remote Wachusett Inlet. This area also includes the spectacular Riggs, McBride, and Muir Glaciers. All tidewater glaciers, these spectacular masses of ice, continually calve icebergs into the coastal waters of Glacier Bay.
Days will be spent paddling among the icebergs in deep glacially carved fjords, exploring the beaches, watching wildlife, and enjoying short hikes in the hills. Nights will include comfortable wilderness camping and eating great food.
Our professional sea kayak guides will provide a safe and fun experience while showing you the very best of Glacier Bay. They will also offer instruction in the arts of sea kayaking including navigation, beach landings, paddling technique and more.
We hope you can join us for this adventure of a lifetime.
