Valdez Glacier Lake
High quality Kayaks that had been set up perfectly for the height details we gave them ahead of time. Good quality seats and foot rests ensured we didn't have to make more effort than needed, allowing us to get further on the lake and around the burgs. I did my research and worked out this was the cheapest way to kayak near a glacier and around the icebergs that came off one. Many other locations wont allow self-guided rentals and tours are at least double this price, and sometimes 3 or 4 times the price depending on the difficulty of getting out to the kayak spot. This was an absolute bargain for what we experienced and we'd highly recommend it to anyone who has Kayaked before!
