Alaska Sea Kayaking & Alaska Adventure Vacations

Have you ever imagined a place of turquoise blue waters, tidewater and hanging glaciers, islands of protected coves and rugged cliffs teeming with whales and puffins under glorious skies? These visions become reality in Kenai Fjords National Park and Resurrection Bay. The waters abound with marine life. Sea otters casually watch you as they feed on sea urchins and mollusks; adolescent seals follow you curiously as you kayak in silence; pods of orcas glide through the waters as they search for salmon...it's all here waiting for you.

This is our home! We are a small Alaskan company providing quality paddling experiences in Resurrection Bay and Kenai Fjords National Park. Since 1996 we have been introducing paddlers to the wonders of coastal Alaska. We offer kayaking from three locations in the Seward area – Lowell Point, Fox Island and Kenai Fjords. This allows us to have the right trip for you whether an introductory family paddle or a multi-day kayak/camping adventure. We feature small groups, great food, and excellent guide/naturalists. Our excursions have been profiled in National Geographic Adventures, Outside, Backpacker and others. We have been featured on the Travel Channel and Discovery Channel. Our best reviews come from the happy kayakers who have paddled with us. We look forward to sharing the place we love with you.

Sunny Cove Offers Excursions From Three Locations in the Seward Area:

Lowell Point Kayaking, Seward

Lowell Point, on Resurrection Bay, is located two miles south of the city of Seward. From its pebbled beaches and glacier vistas we paddle along the shoreline. Here encounters with sea otters, bald eagles and leaping salmon are common. Kayaking options from Lowell Point include three hour and full-day adventures.

Fox Island Wilderness Retreat kayaking

Located 14 nautical miles from Seward, Fox Island is a magical mix of temperate rain forest, sculpted cliffs and protected coves. This is a place of abundant beauty and wildlife where puffin and whale sightings are frequent. All Fox Island excursions are offered in conjunction with Kenai Fjord Tours and begin at the Seward Small Boat Harbor. Kayaking options from Fox Island include a paddle/wilderness cruise or a full day paddle option.

Kenai Fjords National Park kayaking adventures

Paddle in the midst of 'bergy bits' while watching tidewater glaciers calve. This is an adventurers paradise filled with icebergs, granite walls and abundant wildlife. We offer full-day Grand Day tours into Aialik Bay and three and five-day kayak/camping adventures into both Aialik Bay and Northwestern Fjord.

Seward Day Hikes

The Kenai Peninsula is home to some of Alaska's best hiking. Explore the aromatic temperate rainforests of Seward on foot as you track through Sitka Spruce, ancient ferns and blankets of mosses and lichens. Choose from three hour or full-day hiking excursions. Make the most of your experience in Seward, by combining one of our three hour hikes with one of our three hour kayaking excursions.

Sunny Cove offers both novice and experienced paddlers a true Alaskan sea kayaking adventure. Our guides are experienced professional paddlers and naturalists committed to providing you with a fun and unforgettable sea kayaking experience. Sharing our love of Alaska, 'The Great Land', is our goal. We hope this website helps you plan the perfect Alaska sea kayaking or hiking trip.
