The Top 1 Kayak Tours in Anchorage

Kayaking in Anchorage is an incredible experience, largely because of the gorgeous mountainous and forested landscapes you’ll witness as you paddle. Because kayaks are so small, they have extra agility that allows you to get close to the most interesting elements, weaving in and out of narrow channels, and inspecting floating chunks of ice as you cruise by. Don’t worry if you haven’t paddled before, because on our Anchorage kayak tour, you’ll have a safety briefing before you begin, plus access to an experienced guide who can show you the ropes as you go. There’s something special about self-propelled exploration knowing that you’re doing no damage to this delicate ecosystem. And the feeling you’ll experience at the end of your full-on workout will leave you uplifted - as well as in need of a rest!

On the Glacier Blue Kayak & Grandview Train Tour, you can enjoy a two-in-one day of adventure! Begin with one of North America’s top ten train rides on the Anchorage Railroad Department’s Coastal Classic Train. The views from your comfortable carriage are second to none as you pass snow-capped peaks, the narrow stretch of water known as the Turnagain Arm - where you might spot beluga whales - and the deep green of the Chugach National Forest. Next up is your kayak experience, where you’ll paddle across the serene waters of Spencer Lake, watching the face of Spencer Glacier growing ever-larger in your view as you dodge and weave around floating icebergs. Incredible!

Our Anchorage kayak tour is guaranteed to leave you with memories you’ll treasure for years to come, so don’t delay, book your place today!
