Columbia Glacier Kayaking from Valdez

Search for wildlife such as whales, sea otters, and sea lions as you transfer two hours to Columbia Glacier by water taxi. This is Alaska’s second-largest tidewater glacier. Since the early 1980s, the glacier has been retreating catastrophically off of the terminal moraine leaving an 8-mile-long field of floating icebergs. You will be dropped off near the moraine of the glacier to paddle for about 4 hours around the icebergs. Conditions permitting you will go beyond the terminal moraine and into upper Columbia Bay. Time is included for a lunch break and a short hike on the glacier’s gravel moraine. After the break, you will continue exploring the coastline by kayak.
