Seward Bridal Veil Falls Kayak & Exit Glacier Hike Combo

Excursion Overview

Enjoy a full day tour at Bridal Veil Falls and the Exit Glacier

Gear up at the tour provider's office before boarding shuttle vans to Lowell Point Beach. As you hop in your kayaks and paddle south along the Resurrection Bay coastline, you can spot various marine life, including eagles, jumping salmon, seabirds, porpoises, harbor seals, and sea lions.

Upon reaching Bridal Veil Falls Beach, a short walk through the rainforest on an unmaintained trail leads to the base of the multi-tiered waterfall. The water cascades beautifully over the rocks, spreading like a bridal train, which inspired the name. After the hike, a sandwich lunch, hot drinks, and snacks will be provided before paddling back to Lowell Point Beach for the return trip to the tour provider's office, where preparations will be made for the Exit Glacier hike.

Once at the tour provider's office, guests will be driven to Kenai Fjords National Park and provided with trekking poles. The easy 2.2-mile hike takes 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on individual pace. Guides offer interpretive information along the trail and share photos of the glacier's historical positions. This hike follows the Lower Glacier overlook trail and includes a visit to the Exit Glacier Nature Center, where park cards can be stamped. After the hike, transportation back to lodging is provided.

Frequently Asked Questions

Guests are 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, it is highly recommended to store your luggage at your 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.

Most of 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. Please be sure that you are prepared to kayak for approximately 4 hours.

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.
