Staff Adventure Day: Sunny Cove Kayaking

June 05, 2024

A handful of our staff jumped in some kayaks and paddled around Resurrection Bay with our friends over at Sunny Cove Kayaking for our May staff adventure day. In true Seward form it was a chilly rainy day, but that didn’t stop us from having a great time out in the water and creating memories to last a lifetime.

Bundled up from head to toe we began our kayaking adventure in the rain. The water was actually quite calm as we made our way out into the bay, staying close to the shoreline to see what we could spot in the tidal pools. Bright purple starfish clung tightly to the rocks and we learned from our guides that a group of starfish is called a constellation, how cool?! 

Further out from shore a cute sea otter made an appearance as it swam by on its back, we all squealed with joy. On the lookout for more sea life we continued into the waves. Next thing we know a group of sea lions bobbed up from below the surface! They swam all around us and even under us. Two of them popped up for air right behind our kayak making for an up close and personal encounter. 

When our time in the water came to an end we were all grateful to warm up in the van and share our favorite moments from our excursion. We definitely recommend booking a tour with our friends over at Sunny Cove Kayaking the next time you’re in Seward for an unforgettable experience. We want to especially thank our guides, Jen and Maggie, for showing us such a great time and educating us on all of the local wildlife. We can’t wait to get back out on the water again!
