Seward Kayaking - East Side Resurrection Bay
Kayakers Cove is a wilderness hostel located approx. 11 mi.
South of Seward, Alaska near Eldorado Narrows on Resurrection Bay. We can provide guide service to hostel guests that are staying at the hostel. This is one of the key destinations in Resurrection Bay


Depart by sea kayak to Kayakers Cove. After gearing up and doing a little stretch to loosen up our bodies before paddle. Paddle past water falls, alpine glaciers, abundant sea life, and scenic snow covered mountains. Stop along the way and break for hot drinks, snacks and sight seeing opportunities. This paddle will also include lunches while paddling to our destination and on the
return paddle to Seward.
We see whales sometimes on this trip and sometimes observe more that one type. We paddle past bird rookeries and view the Stellar Sea Lions haul out from a safe and prudent distance.. ..
Hiking is a nice option that is sometimes chosen by our guests, hiking up the trail that originates at the rear of the hostel lodge we will hike up a fern and moss laden trail up to a rocky saddle that overlooks the cape. This trail is a moderate hike and we recommend that anyone hiking the trail carry hydration and be in reasonable physical condition for this moderate hike. If not sure
check with a physician!

of the spectacular sea kayaking destinations in Resurrection Bay. Options abound for all levels of sea kayakers. Humpy Cove & Thumb
Cove are very near coves that is usually accessible from Kayakers Cove. Fox Island is a very close destination that paddlers paddle to
and if you are a more experienced kayaker, the Sea Lion haul out is also quite popular.

Just a thought...........about smaller groups!
We limit our groups to no more than 6 folks + your guide! for guided trips and guided rental options.
Exceptions can be made for family, or unified group outings if requested.
We have done a very unscientific survey amongst ourselves and have determined that most of us have never done things with more than 6 people that have randomly been put in a group that did not end up in a frustrating and disappointing experience!
Its up to you, Think about it, its your vacation? Always ask how many may be on your trip if booking with some other outfitters! You may be one of many.
