Kayak Rentals in Miller’s Landing
Please read about our rental process and policies here before considering renting from us. If you are looking for a day paddle or are new to kayaking we recommend picking one of our guided day trips.
Please Read the Following Information Regarding our Rental Restrictions
We rent to experienced or certified kayakers
Formal Self-Rescue Training is Required! While you do not have to show us a certificate we require all renters know how to perform a paddle-float re-entry. Before confirming your rental we will perform a verbal test to see if you are able to perform a wet exit and paddle-float-re-entry. You can also email us a copy of your certification from an instructor or kayaking company.
Why do we have a screening process? Resurrection Bay and Kenai Fjords National Park are far from civilization and present numerous dangers, we want everyone who rents from us to be confident and safe. Miller’s Landing reserves the right to deny rentals to any guest, for any reason.
We also offer single-day lessons where you can learn a paddle-float re-entry, and all you need to know about Resurrection Bay or Kenai Fjords from one of our guides.
Multi-day expeditions in Kenai Fjords for Cabin Rentals in the Bay
We do not rent single-day use kayaks or walk-ins. We strictly rent to folks who are staying in the cabins at Thumb Cove, Derby or Calisto Cabins, Aialik and Northwestern multi-day camping trips or cabins. When using our water taxi we will load the kayaks with your gear, we will not bring your gear separately or pick up the kayaks early, so you must rent for your full say at whatever location you are staying at.
Each day the kayak is out counts as a rental day, even if it is returned in the morning – keep this in mind for multi-day trips.
We do not allow our kayak rentals on other water taxis or charter boats without our permission for insurance reasons.
Your safety is our priority!
Miller’s Landing kayak rentals includes a boat, PFDs, spray skirts, paddles, a paddle float, a map with safety information, and a pump. We also provide a marine radio and spot beacon for kayakers headed to Kenai Fjords National Park. To ensure your safety we ask that all renters arrive early, or set up a time with our kayaking crew to set up your spot beacon and check all your gear before your departure.
Please take care of our gear
When renting from us you are responsible for caring for the gear and kayaks, we understand mistakes happen, however, we will hold the right to charge you if we believe there is any foul play or excessive damage to a kayak. You are also responsible for cleaning out all trash and gear from kayaks after your trip. A fee will be applied to your rental cost if the kayak returns in poor condition. This might could include broken paddles, kayak paddles, holes in the kayak, beer cans or trash left in the kayak.
Foul play, unfixable damage to the boat or gear (Cost of replacement)

To be considered experienced, you must have sea kayaking experience, and knowhow to do a self rescue and a wet exit. If you are not experienced at kayaking, we would like you to take lessons first or go out with a guide; Alaskan waters are very cold and knowing how to rescue yourself is a necessity. We make these lessons such a good deal that you really can’t pass up the opportunity. The tools you gain will last for a lifetime of paddling adventure!
- You must have the kayak back by 8:00pm on your return day.Each day the kayak is out counts as a rental day, even if it is returned in the morning – keep this in mind for multi-day trips. Exceptions if you are using our late afternoon water taxi from the park.

- In some situations a raincheck worth 75% of your reservation may be issued at the discretion of Miller’s Landing management instead of the applicable cancellation charge. If this option appeals to you please suggest this at the time of cancellation. Rainchecks are good for one year and may be used for activities, camping or lodging owned by Miller’s Landing or towards the cost of hats, tee shirts, gifts, etc. sold in the Miller’s Landing store or items sold online. For items purchased online the customer is expected to pay for the cost of postage. Rainchecks may NOT be transferred to another person.
- A 100% refund will be issued for any activity that was cancelled due to weather by Miller’s Landing. Miller’s Landing reserves the right to determine weather cancellations. Rain does not constitute cancellations.
Please note: Miller’s Landing encourages only guaranteed prepaid reservations. Unlike many other states, Alaska has a very short tourist season which can make it difficult for us to rebook when we have cancellations without ample notice.
If you are booking a charter and lodging and your charter , water taxi or kayaking is cancelled due to weather you are still responsible for the lodging or camping reservations and the normal cancellation policy applies. All of our activities are possible during rain, so rain does not constitute a cancellation. Miller’s Landing is not responsible for vehicle break downs, personal emergencies, flight delays, health issues or other unforeseen hardships. We will try very hard to work with you but the cancellation policy will need to be applied if we cannot issue a raincheck or find an alternative solution that appeals to both parties.
Please understand that Miller’s Landing also incurs a hefty financial merchant fee from our bank for the cost of charging your credit card and again for the cost of refunding it, and there is also a cost involved for the time involved in processing and refunding your reservation in employee costs. Our goal when taking your reservation is to have a solid, guaranteed prepaid reservation. We strongly discourage the practice of making reservations without having an airline ticket or making tentative reservations. Thank you for your understanding.
