Northwestern Fjord offers pristine, world-class sea kayaking and camping!

The Northwestern Glacier, located in Kenai Fjords National Park, is famous for its stunning tidewater glacier environment within the Northwestern Fjord.   It plays a significant role in the Harding Icefield and has a notable history of retreat, revealing islands and landscapes that were once covered by ice. It is also known for its diverse wildlife, including whales, seals, sea otters, and numerous bird species, as well as stunning scenery featuring glaciers, icebergs, and dramatic cliffs.

Our guide-assisted option is designed for experienced backcountry campers who have their own outdoor gear and need a guide to provide local knowledge, interpretation, and ensure safety. We typically do not set up base camps during these trips. You’ll also need to adhere to the paddling plan established during the mandatory pre-trip meeting, which takes place the day before departure.

 

Our Guides – We are very proud of our guide team, and you’ll understand why after just one trip with us! All of our guides hold ACA Level 2 certification, which includes extensive training in water rescues, group management, and more. They also maintain current Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certifications and participate in a comprehensive three-week training course each season to enhance their skills. For guides operating in Northwestern Fjord, additional specialized training and a rigorous assessment are required to ensure they are fully prepared for this unique environment.
