Discover Resurrection Bay with our overnight camping trips!
Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, Resurrection Bay is home to several Alaska State Parks that offer excellent opportunities for hiking, sea kayaking, and exploration. As a small outdoor company, we specialize in small group tours to ensure a personalized experience, with no more than six people per guide.
Embark on a fully guided overnight camping trip to several fantastic destinations in Resurrection Bay. This unique adventure combines the best of both kayaking and hiking, with options for paddlers who enjoy exploring on foot. You might choose a hike at Caines Head with scenic beach views, or an adventure to Thumb Cove with alpine glaciers and pristine Alaskan beaches nestled at the foot of 3,000-foot mountains.
During the trip, we’ll stop at a variety of interesting beaches, explore a multi-level waterfall and a salmon stream. Conditions permitting, we may even paddle out to an arch. While wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, our bay is teeming with life, and we often encounter a diverse array of wildlife and sea life.
-
Resurrection Bay offers around eleven beaches (depending on weather and time of the year) for camping, with Caines Head Beach being a popular choice. Resurrection Bay is well protected, making it a great location for kayaking and hiking adventures, which are less affected by high winds compared to other areas like Aialik and Northwestern.
We may spot various wildlife, including diving birds, sea ducks, harbor seals, eagles, sea lions, porpoises and sometimes whales. Salmon sightings are also possible depending on the time of the year.
