    What To Expect

    Jetboating up wild Alaskan rivers to kayak at Spencer Glacier is not an ordinary tour, you fully immerse in adventure with us. Kayaking at the FACE of Spencer Glacier brings you up close to the calving blue ice face without the hassle of an all day trip.

    Preparation is key, bring multiple warm leg layers, thermals, tops, fleece, hats, gloves, rain gear and a sense of adventure. Dress in layers or bring with in a small bag, these are items needed for most adventures in Alaska.

    Single sit-on-top kayaks allow you to paddle independently and explore the glacier from a safe and stable distance. A guide helps you out along the way paying attention to every detail.

    The only prerequisite is a healthy spirit of curiosity and adventure.

    Regardless of age or skill level you will find that our expeditions offer enough flexibility to make your experience with us safe and rewarding. We will show you proper sea kayaking technique and water safety before leaving the beach. And your expert guides will be with you throughout the adventure to give you pointers and improve your skills.
