Kayaking is one of the most peaceful and unobtrusive ways to explore our beautiful coastal areas. It is not uncommon to encounter bears, seals, otters, eagles, whales, puffins and much more while paddling in the bay. Underwater animals and plant life can often be seen clearly while kayaking. These include starfish, urchins, anemones, sea cucumbers and crab. Whether you are a novice or experienced paddler, kayaking in Uyak Bay is sure to be an unforgettable experience. A certified kayak instructor and guide is at your disposal to ensure your safety and comfort.

In addition to sightseeing by kayak, we offer several specialized kayaking excursions to view bears and marine wildlife. We'll transport you & the kayaks aboard the Shelbee-D then set off in the kayaks to the rivers or prime wildlife viewing areas. For many guests this is the highlight of their stay.

Spirit of Alaska Wilderness Adventures is equipped with 3 single and 2 double kayaks. Each kayak is equipped with paddles, spray skirts, paddle floats, pumps & sponges. Our landing craft can be used to shuttle passengers & kayaks. Instruction and a guide are always available.
