Miller’s Landing offers you the sea
kayak as an exciting way to discover Resurrection Bay and Kenai Fjords
National Park with its abundant marine wildlife, glaciers and
breathtaking beauty.
Our single and double plastic expedition sea kayaks are very stable,
comfortable and easy to paddle for beginners and experienced paddlers
alike. We will begin tours with basic paddling and safety instruction as
needed.
We offer a number of stimulating tours of varying duration and interests
from our oceanfront Lowell Point base and other points of departure
along the Kenai Fjords coast. Our selection of trips and tours can
accommodate nearly any skill level, schedule, and budget. For trip
descriptions follow our various links.
Miller’s Landing kayak guides pride themselves in providing you with a
safe, educational and stimulating trip. In addition to promoting safety,
our guides respect our fragile coastal environment by teaching our
guests about the area’s wildlife with minimal disturbance and by using
low impact camping techniques. Our priorities are to keep you safe on
the water, to teach you about local and natural history of the area, and
to ensure that you have a fantastic experience on your sea kayak tour.
No matter what your skill level or interests, we will be glad to direct
you to the tour that suits your needs. Miller’s Landing specializes in
educational and fun wildlife and glacier tours in a more remote area
than other kayak companies can provide. We use our 32 foot 14-passenger
5-star safety rated water taxi to take you to the destinations that the
other companies only go occasionally. We will design adventure learning
trips for groups, camps, schools, and families interested in the marine
environments of the Resurrection Bay and Kenai Fjords areas. Custom
trips can be tailored to a group’s specific interests and length of time
available for the trip.
Safety Policy & Wilderness Ethics
As experienced paddlers and a fully insure sea kayaking outfitter with
trained licensed guides, we have first hand experience with the risks
associated with paddling in the cold waters of Alaska. Together, the
water temperature and quickly changing weather patterns create the
greatest risk for paddling here, hypothermia. As a result, we are
constantly monitoring the weather and sea conditions and changing our
trip itinerary as needed to ensure your safety.
Miller’s Landing uses only top quality equipment, including plastic
single and double expedition sea kayaks with sealed bulkheads and
rudders. Equipment for every guided trip includes a wilderness first aid
kit, flare/signal kit, VHF/weather radio, tow ropes, extra paddle and
clothing, and a bilge pump and paddle float for each boat. Our goal is
to be prepared with the proper equipment and a skilled guide with the
concern and professionalism to provide you with a safe, informative, and
enjoyable sea kayak adventure.
In addition to safety, we have the added responsibility of taking care
of the fragile coastal environments in the mid-coast area. To this end,
we teach and emulate the best low impact camping techniques available.
We keep our group size small (eight person maximum on multi-day trips)
and multiple sites (both public and private) to minimize the impact on
the natural environments of our area.
Many of the Miller’s Landing kayaking staff have active volunteer roles
in land trusts and local environmental organization, which help to
educate the public and protect and preserve this special part of the
Maine coast. One of our goals is that the fun of a sea kayak tour
creates an awareness of the beauty and fragility of our marine
environments.
We hope to educate you about the local history and culture and the
diversity of the wildlife living here. In addition, we want to help you
slow down and reconnect to nature in an environmentally friendly manner
through healthy exercise in a beautiful place.
Please treat yourself, and come join Miller’s Landing on a rewarding sea
kayak adventure in Resurrection Bay and the Kenai Fjords National Park
