Quick Details
The Bridal Veil waterfall kayak tour leaves from the beautiful Miller’s Landing area of Lowell Point. You will travel from Miller’s to Bridal Veil Falls Beach with its beautiful ghost forest (remains of the 1964 Alaskan earthquake), eagles perched in nearby trees, and a beautiful creek that feeds into the ocean. We then land at the beach and continue onto the beautiful Bridal Veil waterfall to see the cascading wonder.
Keep a lookout! It’s not unusual for paddlers to see marine life on this trip and sometimes mountain goats and black bears as we kayak throughout this beautiful region of Alaska.

Depart from Millers Landing on your way to Bridal Vail Falls Landing Beach. On your way, keep your eye out for an array of sea birds, otters diving for snacks, porpoise and eagles perched in the tall Sitka spruce.
Land at the beach and make your way to the waterfall, this short walk has uneven terrain so watch your step. On your way through the forest, you will be surrounded by berry bushes, devil’s club, and other unique plants native to Alaska.
After you hike through the Chugach and take fun selfies in front of the waterfall and load back into your kayaks you’ll paddle with your guide back to Miller’s Landing. Enjoy beautiful sunsets and calming seas in the afternoon, and that fresh morning air and still water in the morning.
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 canceled 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.
