Kayak Adventures Worldwide

Kayak Adventures Worldwide has guided paddlers through Kenai Fjords National Park since 2005, earning a reputation as one of Seward's most experienced and trusted sea kayaking outfitters. The company specializes in guided day tours and multi-day expeditions through spectacular coastal wilderness, where tidewater glaciers calve into the sea and wildlife — orca, sea otters, puffins, and Steller sea lions — can be observed from water level.

Tour options range from beginner-friendly day paddles in Resurrection Bay to remote overnight expeditions deep in the outer fjords. All tours include professional instruction, high-quality gear, and expert guidance from naturalist-trained paddlers who know these waters intimately. Small group sizes keep each trip personal and accommodate first-time kayakers and experienced paddlers alike.

Based in downtown Seward at 328 3rd Avenue, the outfitter is a top choice for visitors arriving via the Alaska Railroad or cruise ship who want to explore the fjords from the water. Multi-day expeditions include camping on remote beaches and paddling to areas inaccessible by motorized vessels, offering an immersive experience in one of America's most dramatic national parks.

Kenai Fjords National Park encompasses more than 600,000 acres of wilderness, including the Harding Icefield — one of the largest ice fields in the United States. Paddling through the park's coastal waters puts you at eye-level with the geological forces that carved these fjords over millennia. Kayak Adventures Worldwide's guides are trained naturalists who identify wildlife, interpret glacial features, and share the deep ecology of a coastline that supports humpback whales, Dall's porpoise, and black-footed albatross in extraordinary abundance.
