How is the kayaking and canoeing in Seward, Alaska?|124422

I am planning a visit to Anchorage in late July with my wife and 7 year-old daughter. We_re planning a day trip to Seward for a sled dog tour, but the train back to Anchorage leaves late that afternoon, leaving us with time to kill in Seward. Is Seward and Resurrection Bay a good place to kayak? Can anyone recommend a good kayaking tour or rental company? I_m looking at Backcountry Safaris right now, so if anyone can comment on that company in particular, that would be especially helpful. Thanks!

Backcountry is a good company accordingly to some friends who used them in 2005. They took a trip that lasted most of the day and were well satisfied. We spent a week in Seward last year, I wanted to try the kayaking thing but my wife wasn_t capable. We canoe in the lower 48, but kayaking was to demanding for her. Resurrection Bay is pretty large and your time might be limited to really do a good trip. Check their short trips and maybe you_ll find something you like. Have a good trip if you do.

Alaskan Girl had a good idea with the Sea Life Center. There are enough things to see and do to keep you busy for a day. You_ll see many animals and birds that you might miss otherwise.

If you can catch a ride out to Exit Glacier there_s many hours to be spent out there. There_s several trails to different sections of the glacier.

I dont know if kyacking is good but when your down there in Sewerd the Sea Life Center is always a good place to visit.

not too sure about seward, but kayaking in Whittier is absolutly wonderful.. I live in Anchorage, and I_ve kayaked Whittier several times.. There are rentals right there on the water, but I can_t remember the name of the company.. Enjoy
