EMED2010 Posted July 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2014 What are my options? I have researched doing the "float" but from what I've read on this site and others, it is pretty lame. I would love to do the kayak experience but none of the four of us (all adults) have ever kayaked and I don't think starting in the ocean is the best idea. Are there any other types of choices out there where we could get somewhat close to view and take pictures of the floating ice? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare karatemom2 Posted July 16, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I believe there is a canoe trip where you travel in a group together in one canoe as opposed to individual kayaks. Maybe that would be more comfortable for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapleleaves Posted July 16, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 16, 2014 yes, you'll be in a lake. A very cold lake! kayaking is pretty simple. I had my first experience about 2 yrs ago and LOVED it. At first it feels very unstable, like you're going to flip over, but you get used to it quite quickly. It's wonderful being a sea level like that. Seward is another option where you could kayak. (I researched it but we chose Valdez instead) The water taxi to your put-in point doubles as a Kenai cruise since it follows the same route. Something to think about .....

EMED2010 Posted July 16, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Mendenhall isn't on the ocean, but a lake. Mendenhall Lake. I knew it was called Mendenhall Lake but I didn't know if it was a true lake. I thought it flowed into the ocean. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
