ACTIVITIES

Blackstone Bay Full Day Kayak Tour
from Whittier, Gateway to Prince William Sound

The tour is perfect for people with a limited amount of time available. Blackstone is the closest gathering of tidewater glaciers to Whittier, only 22 water miles due south. Despite its lack of remoteness it is unbearably scenic and impressive with multiple tidewater glaciers, as well as Yosemite-sized waterfalls. The sights and sounds of the actively calving glaciers from the unique viewpoint of our ocean kayaks will indeed be the highlight of your trip! Along with safe and beautiful paddling, Blackstone has some short hikes to offer. While sharing their vast knowledge of the area guests will experience an enjoyable and safe adventure in Alaska.

TOUR ITINERARY

Day 01 Whittier - Blackstone Bay - Whittier

Meet at 9:00 am in Whittier and enjoy the water taxi ride to Blackstone Bay. We will paddle through the ice floe with harbor seals and numerous sea birds to keep us company. You and your guides will have the opportunity to safely paddle in the glaciated areas of Blackstone Bay while you explore it's natural beauty. Blackstone Bay hosts seven glaciers, two of which meet the sea, the others hang high among the rocky cliffs. Hundreds of feet up the mountainsides, glaciers avalanche huge ice chunks and pour cascading waterfalls to the sea below, their waves reverberating throughout the narrow confines of the fjord. On our way to Blackstone Glacier watch thousands of Black-Legged Kittiwakes flying to and from their cliff-side nests. This trip is rife with wildlife photo opportunities from eagles to otters and more. A hearty lunch and snack is included. At the end of our paddling day we will be taken by charter boat back to Whittier, a perfect day trip from Anchorage.
