Description

Prince William Sound- Blackstone Bay OR Culross Passage – 2 Day Overnight Camping, Kayaking, & Hiking Trip

Blackstone Bay-  This is a most idyllic glacier location to spend exploring by sea kayak in Prince William Sound.  Many hanging glaciers dot the surrounding mountains and the iceberg paddling can be magnificent.  We recommend camping in Blackstone in May & June.

Culross Passage – This is an entirely protected passage with amazing clear water opportunities for tide-pooling, great sea kayaking adventures, & many hiking opportunities (with & without trails) to explore.  We recommend Culross in the Fall time- September & October.

 

DAY 1:  Guests will be transported from Anchorage or Girdwood to Whittier.  The exact time of departure from the town of Whittier will be determined by water taxi availability.  We like to get started late morning on most days.  Please let us know where you will be needing transportation from, so that we can work out logistics of transportation.

Camp set-up will commence immediately upon arrival to our beach & basecamp location.  Kayaks will be brought for all guests and at least 1 guide.  We most often utilize tandem Wilderness System Kayaks for our Overnight Trips.    

Guide to client ratio will be at least 4:1 for kayaking. The kayaking or hiking plan will be determined by time of arrival to base camp location, the weather of the day, client requests, and final guide determination.

 

DAY 2:  Dependent on Water Taxi Pick-Up Time, Basecamp Tent location will be packed up and be readied for return at least 2 hours prior to return to Whittier.  Kayaking & Hiking morning and early afternoon options as determined by the guide and client requests and what took place on the first day.

Return to Whittier in afternoon by water taxi.  Return to Anchorage or Girdwood by Chugach Adventures’ Shuttle or AK Railroad’s Glacier Discovery Train boarding at 6:30 PM in Whittier.
