Frequently Asked Questions

It is recommended to wear layered clothing as well as a fleece jacket. Activewear made of synthetic & water-wicking materials​ is recommended as well as water-resistant/waterproof shoes & warm socks (cotton and denim materials are not recommended).

For a worry-free day, guests are highly recommended to store their luggage at their hotel or the Seward Train Depot before embarking on the tour. We also recommend seeing if your cruise line can transfer your bags directly to your hotel or the Train Depot for you. The local office can hold your luggage, but only during the time of the tour.

Wildlife is abundant in Alaska and sightings are possible on any tour. However, this is not a designated wildlife tour and nothing can be guaranteed.

The kayaking tours are designed for first-timers unless stated otherwise. Each trip will start with paddling instructions and a basic kayak safety demonstration. You don't need to be a marathon runner; sea kayaking emphasizes technique over strength.

Tours run rain or shine. Seward, Alaska, is located at the northern edge of a temperate rainforest, receiving an average of 90 inches of precipitation annually. This means you can expect a mix of sunny and rainy days during your visit. Rain alone typically won’t lead to a tour cancellation, so please come prepared by wearing synthetic layers and avoiding cotton or jeans.
