What's this trip about?
Prince William Sound offers a spectacular and varied natural history; it is a place for observation, exploration and discovery. The variety of the landscape is compelling and the sea teems with life. You’ll work hard paddling with all your gear for the expedition stowed in your boat, and you’ll play hard as well.
You will start by learning the foundational skills needed to paddle in a protected ocean environment, including an introduction to kayak equipment, paddle strokes, chart reading and wet exits. As the group become more comfortable with the environment, you will advance to more complex topics ranging from reading tides and ocean currents to weather to assessing marine hazards. Do not be surprised to find yourself sitting in a class about local geology, rain forest botany or sea mammals, or participating in a discussion on different leadership styles and expedition behavior. This expedition is by no means a vacation or a guided tour, but rather an opportunity to exercise and hone your leadership and outdoor skills with your peers. By the end of the course, you’ll have the experience to accomplish your own coastal expeditions.

Itinerary
Our 23-and-over courses paddle in Alaska's world-famous Prince William Sound, past towering tidewater glaciers that moan and crackle, crystal-blue icebergs bobbing on the ocean's surface, and wooded coves perfect for camping. The sea teems with various forms of life, and you'll have the ideal vantage point to view it all. Sea birds wheel in the sky overhead while tidal pools with starfish, anemones, and other small creatures dot the shorelines. You'll work hard paddling with all your gear stowed in your boat, but you'll have opportunities to play as well. There are fish to catch and so many things to learn about in your surroundings. You'll hone your wilderness skills, have fun, and practice your leadership as you explore wild, wonderful Alaska.
