Glacier Paddle Boarding Private Tour
Experience the Thrill of Paddleboarding on a Glacier
Enjoy this 3-4 hour adventure on the Knik Glacier Pools. Guests will be given a dry suit to wear while taking on an adventure in the freezing cold glacier water. You and your guide will participate in a few jumps into the glacial lake to make you feel as comfortable as possible with getting in and out of the water. This will help to understand the drysuit / Personal Flotation Device system in the event you lose your balance on the paddleboard in the lake, you will feel prepared to get back on. Once you feel ready to take on your paddle, we will connect you to your leash and send you off into the lake for a serene paddle out and back to the end of the lake.
