Stillpoint's Glacier Lake Kayaking excursion combines three activities into one unforgetable day of exploration:
Boating
Hiking
Kayaking
The Best Adventure In Alaska!
Explore some of Alaska’s most spectacular and diverse landscapes on this unforgettable, guest-favorite adventure.
We’ll boat just a few miles to the trailhead, then hike three scenic miles to Grewingk Glacier Lake, where our kayaks are waiting. From there, you’ll join a guided paddle toward luminous blue ice and the dramatic face of an ancient glacier—an experience you’ll never forget.
Glide past icebergs and shorebirds, then settle in for a gourmet picnic lunch and a cozy bonfire on the shoreline, surrounded by towering mountains at the edge of the Harding Icefield.
This stunning glacier valley is also rich with wildlife—keep an eye out for moose, black bears, mountain goats, and a wide variety of birds.
This fully outfitted, full-day excursion includes all gear, a customized gourmet picnic, snacks, and drinks. Come ready for a full day of adventure and movement.

The Details:
Our boat drops you at the beach trailhead, where your adventure begins. You’ll hike three miles in, crest a small saddle ridge, then gradually descend into the glacier valley. While your guide preps the kayaks, take a break and soak in the views—then it’s time to paddle among icebergs for a couple of hours.
After kayaking, enjoy a picnic lunch and a bonfire on the beach before hiking three miles back to the trailhead, or take an alternate route back for more milage and scenery.
The first section of the trail is the most challenging, but it’s only about 450 feet of elevation gain with gentle, well-maintained switchbacks, so it rarely feels steep. Expect some rocks and tree roots along the way, so you’ll want to watch your footing.
