grand day tour: whale watching, tidewater glacier viewing and sea kayaking
Searching for that up-close and personal Alaska whale watching, tidewater glacier viewing and sea kayaking experience, but don't have the time or inclination for a multi-day camping trip? This is the trip for you!
Our charter boat will transport you to Aialik (pronounced 'eye-al-ick') Bay with stops along the way to view wildlife we may see such as whales, harbor seals, Stellar sea lions, tufted and horned puffins, bald eagles, Dall's porpoise and more. After lunch aboard our boat we will launch our kayaks and paddle amidst some of the most spectacular scenery that coastal Alaska has to offer. Crackling icebergs, towering glaciers and wildlife encounters will bedazzle your senses as we spend the afternoon paddling. -12 years old and up, unless booked as a private tour-

"My husband and I decided to splurge on Sunny Cove's Grand Day Tour and it was absolutely worth the cost-a unique way to experience the serenity and majesty of Alaska. Abundant wildlife, spectacular scenery, and a guide who was extremely knowledgeable and personable."
"The Grand Day Tour with Sunny Cove Kayaking was the highlight of our trip!"
"We went on the Grand Tour. It was amazing. The scenery was unbelievable and kayaking through made it even better. Our guide, Audrey, was very helpful and just a pleasure to kayak with. The boat ride out was great. We saw a lot of whales. This trip was well worth the money."
