Guided Rental Camping Trips

If you're looking for an affordable multi-day trip, that can be booked on custom dates and will emphasize environmentally sound practices and education... then look no further.  Our guided rental trips are geared toward people who are traveling with their own camping equipment, but need the paddling and safety gear, and the guide.  All of our prices include the water taxi, fuel surcharges / fees, and the kayaking costs.  Tax and gratuity are your only additional charges, unless you need to rent some gear items from us.  Trips of any length are possible, so just give us a call and we can most likely set up just what you'd like!

For guided rental trips, you are expected to provide:  a tent with an enclosed vestibule and solid rain fly, a synthetic sleeping bag, a sleeping pad, all cooking equipment / fuel / food, dry bags, water filter & bladder, and appropriate rain gear, clothing, and footwear.  You will be furnished with a complete packing list when you book the trip.

All of our multi-day trips have a pre-trip meeting at our kayak shop (328 3rd Avenue) at 7pm the night before your trip.  You'll meet with your guide to discuss itinerary, trip goals, gear, and field protocols.

STANDARD CAMPING OPTION IN NORTHWESTERN:

You'll ride the water taxi out to Northwestern, and they'll drop you (and your guide) at your starting beach.  From there, you'll pack your gear in the boats and paddle and camp along the coastline each day.  The water taxi will return to meet you at your pick-up beach on the last day, and bring you home. Please keep in mind that Northwestern is more remote, and therefore the trip out and back on the water taxi may take a large part of the first and last days. 

This cost will remain constant, no matter how many people are on the trip.  Our group minimum is 4 people, and our maximum is 8.  The water taxi may have a higher minimum number of passengers for booking this trip.  Please give us a shout to learn about current possibilities.

STANDARD CAMPING OPTION  - AIALIK & NORTHWESTERN COMBO:

The water taxi will take you out to Aialik Bay, where they'll drop you off at your starting beach.  You'll spend a few days paddling and camping around Aialik, and then the water taxi will pick you up and bring you to Northwestern.  Again, they'll leave you to do a few days of kayaking before returning for your final pick-up.  This trip is a great way to see both fjords!

This cost will remain constant, no matter how many people are on the trip.  Our group minimum is 4 people, and our maximum is 8.  The water taxi may have a higher minimum number of passengers for booking this trip.  Please give us a shout to learn about current possibilities.

NEW BASE-CAMP OPTION IN AIALIK:

We can also offer a base-camping option using a centrally located private beach in Aialik Bay.  The views from this beach are simply stunning, and we can tuck our camp away in a sheltered area - so we'll be comfortable in all weather.  Since we have to pay to use this land, this base-camping option costs a little more than the standard trips.  But, we have exclusive access to this beach, and you can make yourself comfortable there for the duration of your time in the fjords.  For this option, add $25 / person / day to the above trip costs.
