Paddle by tidewater glaciers, then fish Kenai Fjords on one guided day
12 hrs
Meals, kayaks, fishing gear
Explore Kenai Fjords National Park by water taxi and tandem kayak, paddling with a guide near Aialik or Holgate Glacier. Fish for salmon and rockfish on the return journey, with flexible activity time on exclusive charters.
Cancellations made 30+ days before departure receive a 90% refund; 15–29 days receive 75%. Within 14 days, a 50% refund is available only if the trip is rebooked. A $10 cancellation fee applies. Full refund if the operator cancels due to weather; rain does not constitute cancellation.
Wear water-resistant shoes if possible; tennis shoes also work. Launch and retrieval are from shore, so you should not need to step into the water.
If seasickness affects you, take your preferred motion-sickness treatment in advance and follow its instructions. Avoid alcohol and antihistamines before this full-day charter, as they may make you sleepy.
Halibut cannot be targeted or retained. Combination fishing charters booked before July 1 do not target or retain Ling Cod. Fishing follows current seasonal harvest regulations.

Standing at the edge of Kenai Fjords National Park, you hear the deep crack of calving ice before you see it. Massive walls of blue-white glacier meet the cold Pacific, and the air carries the salt of the Gulf of Alaska. Kenai Fjords National Park draws you into a landscape where ice age conditions persist today, shaping every rocky shoreline and fog-draped inlet.
Booked a fishing charter with captain Judd and Stonie. The weather was less than desirable for fishing, let alone leaving the bay. Judd is a skilled captain and even better at finding kings. 8 guys on a boat was a little tight, but it works if you pay attention. It took a minute but once we were on tge fish, everyone took turns reeling in silvers and kings. My only disappointment is how the fish got divided at the end. I caught 4 silvers and my uncle caught two of the biggest kings. Somehow I only got 3 fish worth of fillers and they swapped his second biggest catch with the other groups small one. No big deal. I had also read that captain Jack's would be open to pack and flash freeze our catch. We ended up having to use J-dock. They informed us that they do not flash freeze so we had to ship the fish rather than check it on our flight home. All in all great crew, and the half day is totally worth it. Just know if its bad weather, you won't get to fish for rockfish. Location note: don't follow Google maps, just pay for parking in the north lot and walk to the wood deck behind the shops near pier walkway "c". You'll see a small little office to check in at.
