Descriptions
Ever
imagine a place of turquoise blue waters, tidewater and hanging
glaciers, islands with protected coves and rugged cliffs, whales, puffins,
and glorious skies? Visit Kenai Fjords National Park and Resurrection
Bay and these visions come true. A vast array of
natural
environments and ecosystems await you, from icefields where calving
glaciers turn the waters into a slush cup of iceberg bits, to quiet
protected coves where pristine waterfalls cascade into crystal clear
waters. The waters teem with marine life; sea otters that casually watch
you as they feed on sea urchins and crab..... the adolescent seal that
follows curiously as you kayak in silence... pods of orcas that glide
through the waters in search of salmon... it's all here waiting for
you.
Resurrection
Bay and Kenai Fjords National Park are truly a kayakers paradise - the
land where the mountains meet the sea. Remote and accessible only by
boat, its varied expanse awaits your exploration. The silent ripple
of the kayak as it glides along the waters surface makes each natural
encounter memorable. This is our home and we are excited to be able to
provide you with three great ways to explore this area.
The
fun starts in Seward
Seward,
Alaska, lies at the head of Resurrection Bay, the gateway to Kenai
Fjords National Park, and is a spectacular 3 hour
drive south of Anchorage. Seward can be reached by air, bus, train and
rental car. Seward is a quaint little town surrounded
by mountains and glaciers. Sunny Cove's reservations and information office is located
in the log cabin Adventure Center at the Seward Small Boat Harbor.
While
visiting this small coastal community be sure to plan at least a day
to tour the Alaska SeaLife Center, visit Kenai Fjords National Park
Visitors Center, enjoy a hike at nearby Exit Glacier (the only part
of Kenai Fjords National Park that is accessible by road), go fishing
for salmon or halibut, or any one of the many other worthwhile activities
that Seward has to offer. Seward... gateway to your
Alaska adventure vacation.
Lowell
Point, Seward
Lowell
Point on Resurrection Bay is
located
2 miles from Seward Center. From its pebbled beaches and glacier vistas
we paddle along the shoreline where encounters with sea lions, otters,
numerous sea birds, humpbacks and many leaping salmon are common. Seward
kayaking options from Lowell Point include 3-hour and full day kayaks
tours to Tonsina Creek and Caines Head State Recreation Area. Sunny
Cove's Lowell Point operation is located at the Alaska Saltwater Lodge.
Fox
Island Wilderness Retreat
Located
at the entrance to Resurrection
Bay,
14 ocean miles from Seward, Fox Island is a magical mix of temperate
rain forest, sculpted cliffs and protected coves. The waters teem with
sea lions, otters & whales while bald eagles, peregrine falcons, puffins
and more soar the skies above. Fox Island is the perfect place to learn
or refine your paddling skills within a unique island ecosystem. All
Fox Island excursions are done in conjunction with Kenai Fjords Tours and begin at the Kenai Fjords Tours dock in the Seward Small Boat Harbor.
Sunny Cove offers a full day paddle at Fox Island and two Fox Island
Kayak and Wildlife Cruise combination tours.
Kenai
Fjords National Park
Experience
the land where mountain and
oceans meet, an adventurers paradise. Paddle in the midst of bergy bits
while tidewater glaciers calve. Calving glaciers, icebergs, abundant
marine life, steep granite walls, quiet lagoons and beautiful valleys
await your explorations. Sunny Cove offers the Grand Day Tour into Aialik
Bay and kayak/camping tours into Aialik Bay and Northwestern Fjord.
These fjords are accessible with a three to four hour boat ride. Exit
Glacier is the only area of the National Park that is accessible by
car. Wild and remote this area deserves the accolades it has received.

Park trips depart from the Adventure Center.
