Experience the Thrill of Glacier Paddle Boarding in Alaska

Glacier Paddle Boarding Adventure (3–4 Hours)
Step into the heart of Alaska’s wild beauty on a once-in-a-lifetime Glacier Paddle Boarding experience across the crystal-clear pools of the Knik Glacier. Slip into your provided drysuit and get ready for an exhilarating encounter with the glacier’s icy waters.


With your expert guide, you will start with a few invigorating jumps into the glacial lake to build confidence in the drysuit and Personal Flotation Device system. These playful plunges ensure you are prepared, even if you take an unexpected dip from your board.


Once you are comfortable and connected to your paddleboard leash, the real magic begins. Glide across shimmering turquoise waters surrounded by towering ice formations and breathtaking mountain views. Feel the serenity of this remote wilderness as you paddle to the far end of the lake and back, combining pure adventure with peaceful moments you will never forget.


Lunch is included on this Private Tour.
