Half-Day Guided Kayak Tour on Knik River

Aperçu
New in 2023!
Experience Alaska on the original roads and routes aka its rivers and lakes. This tour transverses one of the most sublime landscapes and panoramic views in all of Southcentral Alaska and the Mat Su Valley. You will find salmon swimming under your paddle craft as they migrate to their spawning grounds. Also, expect to see ducks and eagles fly overhead and maybe even find a moose standing in the water eating a meal.

This tour starts by paddling across Jim Lake and then a short overland portage into Jim Creek.
Finally, exit on the beach of the Knik River that flows from the Knik Glacier, and while there get some pictures with the glacier in the background. The Knik Glacier is the headwaters of the Knik River and is the largest glacier in Southcentral Alaska. After this brief pause to take some photos, and view the scenery, we will continue our paddle down the Kink River to our exit point of the old Knik River Bridge.

Hard work but worth it! Guide was extremely knowledgeable. He was helpful and took tons of pictures for us. Would recommend for anyone that enjoys kayaking.

We had a last-minute change of plans due to weather, and called Derek and Heather to see if they could fit us in. They were incredibly flexible and accommodating. We ended up doing a kayak tour from 6 to 8 PM. The timing was magical. The water was like glass. I highly recommend the vendor, the location, the experience, all of it!

Had a very pleasant morning kayaking with Derek as our guide. Saw several moose including a cow with 2 calves, lots of ducks and birds. Beautiful mountain and glacier views.
