About
With the whole day on the water, there are so many options! You'll meet at our office in downtown Seward at 8am. From there, we'll drive you to our launch beach at Lowell Point. You'll return to the beach around 4pm, and we'll bring you right back to our shop. You'll paddle the coastline between Lowell Point and Caines Head, and explore the coastline as you go. You'll learn all about the history of the area while you wander through coastal rainforest and the magnificent ghost forest left at Tonsina Point by the 1964 earthquake.
During certain months, you can watch the salmon run in the crystal clear waters of Tonsina Creek. See them jump and dance, and watch them spawn from the birds-eye view on the bridge over the creek. Land at a small beach where a 5-minute walk past a rambling stream reveals a 90' (ish) waterfall cascading down the rocky cliff. Head to North Beach on Caines Head, where (if time allows) a great hike brings you to Fort McGilvray and unveils Seward's intriguing past, as well as stunning views of Resurrection Bay and the islands. All the while, keep a lookout for wildlife! We'll often see sea otters, sea lions, harbor seals, harbor porpoise, bald eagles, and many sea birds. With a full day on the water, there's a good chance of having some fantastic wildlife encounters.
