Trip Pricing
Trips are priced according to the number of people on the trip, and we are happy to combine smaller groups to bring everyone’s per person price down. We will only combine groups of adults (ages 14+). We cap these trips at 6 people, to provide the best possible guest experience while minimizing our impacts. If you have a larger group, give us a call to discuss arranging a private trip.
If you’re traveling with kids under the age of 14, we will make your trip a private family trip. There will be no extra cost for a private family trip — we are excited to share this place with young explorers, and we recognize traveling with kids involves different challenges. Minimum payment of 4 people.
All prices listed are per person and exclude tax and gratuity.

Two Options: Granite Point Overnight or Three Day Trip
We will host a mandatory pre-trip meeting the night before your trip at 7 pm at our kayak shop in downtown Seward. This is a great opportunity to meet your guide and other guests on the tour, discuss bear and paddling safety, go over the itinerary, weather conditions, and get any last minute questions answered.
Day 1: Enjoy the paddle out to Granite Point, exploring the dramatic and soaring coastline of Resurrection Bay along the way. This paddle is far less crowded than the more accessible west side of the bay, and we are typically the only kayaks out there. Along the way we will keep an eye out for wildlife! Once at Granite Point, you’ll check into your cabin, relax, enjoy the views, and a home cooked dinner while watching the sunset over the fjord. At night you’ll fall asleep listing to the waves lap on the beach below.
Day 2: We will explore by land, sea, or both! We will take advantage of the alpine trail at Granite Point, or paddle down towards Humpy Cove and Fox Island. The paddling and hiking out of Granite Point is world class and no matter what we end up doing, it’ll be a grand adventure. If your doing the overnight, we will catch the water taxi back to Seward in the early afternoon. If you’re doing the three day, you’ve got another evening at the cabins!
Day 3 (Three day guests): We will enjoy some coffee or tea with a view in the morning, and take advantage of our final day on the bay. We will either enjoy the hike or paddle we didn’t get to on the second day. If you are keen to kayak more rather than hike, there are endless places to explore by kayak.
For both the Overnight and the 3-day, we are typically back in Seward around 4-5pm.

Granite Point is a remote haven located on Resurrection Bay, just 10 miles from Seward, Alaska. Accessible only by boat or helicopter, the property features four private cabins and one larger lodge, all perched on a dramatic cliffside. This unique location offers unparalleled views of Resurrection Bay and the surrounding mountains. For adventurers, Granite Point is a dream come true.
Cabins include: comfortable queen beds, well-appointed kitchenette, cozy dining area with tables and stools that allows you to enjoy your meals while gazing out over the Bay. Lighting is provided by energy-efficient, battery-operated LED lamps—and some cabins do have electricity. For warmth on chilly nights, cabins have either a direct-vent propane heater, or small wood stoves (fire wood provided) that keeps the cabin toasty.
Please note, this is a remote setting. To reach your cabin, guests will ascend four steep staircases and traverse a short 30-yard trail. As such, travelers should be in good physical condition, and prepared for a bit of adventure.

Why is travel insurance so important?
In today’s dynamic travel environment, it’s important to protect your travel investment so you can relax and enjoy your trip. Unforeseen events such as flight delays, a sudden sickness or injury, or even baggage loss could impact your travel plans. Cancellation fees can range up to 100% of the trip cost, depending on the date and particular trip for which you’ve been holding spaces. For your convenience, we’ve partnered with GoReady Travel Insurance to help protect you and your travel investment against the unexpected. For more information on available plans, click here.
