Bridal Veil Falls Kayak

Kayak Resurrection and the Magnificent Bridal Veil Falls in Seward, Alaska!

Bridal Veil Falls is a great trip for anyone wanting to get more out of their day in Resurrection Bay!

You start off your day meeting your A60N Guide at our shop. Your guide will get you completely geared up and ready for your trip! We will load into our vans and head out to Lowell Point Beach, driving through Historic Seward and getting the first introduction to the Bay. Once at the beach, you will go through a safety briefing with your guide and get familiar with your gear before hitting the water!

Our guides will take you through a memorable journey as they offer up a wealth of knowledge of the area from the local flora and fauna, geology, glaciology, glaciation, the history of Seward and all the wildlife! You will make your way to Bridal Veil Falls Beach where you will land and go one a short hike to the 100ft water fall! Enjoy a provided lunch on the beach and enjoy a great view of Godwin Glacier in the Chugach Mountain range!

What to Expect

• This trip’s time duration is 5-6hrs. This is a door-to-door time frame. Total paddling time is on average 3.5 – 4hrs over about 4 miles (there and back).
• What if it’s raining? – Seward is in a temperate rainforest, so assume it will be raining! All our trips run rain or shine. We do supply full rain gear for all of them.
• Is there any wildlife viewing? – In early May we sometimes get sightings of humpback, fin or killer whales that will typically leave by the end of September. We have plenty of up-close sightings of bald eagles, harbor seals, sea otters, stellar sea lions, harbor porpoise and lots of sea birds! In August you can even see salmon running up Tonsina Creek!
• How many people are on the trips? – We keep a ratio of 1:6 for all our kayaking trips. This does not mean every trip will have this ratio, but it will not exceed this amount. This is a group activity; we will move as fast as our slowest kayakers. Don’t want to join a group kayak trip? Check out our private trip options!
• What kind of kayaks? – All of our guests are in tandem sea kayaks; we do not offer single kayaks for our group trips.

What to Consider
