The Prince William Sound is located along the southern coast of Alaska. Since the weather can change drastically from one day to the next, it is important to be prepared. In the summer months, there is a mixture of warm sunny days and cool rainy days, so be sure to bring suitable clothes. Keep in mind that moisture will ruin electronic devices if they are not properly stored. The tour guide will provide other valuable tips for weather preparedness.
Since Alaska is close to the northernmost point of the globe, summer daylight hours are long. People who have difficulty sleeping without complete darkness should bring blackout sleep masks or any other necessities needed to get a good night's rest. Surprisingly enough, mosquitoes and other bugs come with the territory, so be sure to bring a spray that contains DEET.
Effort is necessary to paddle a kayak, but waters are generally calm. This Alaskan adventure involves paddling through fjords with both large and small glaciers. It is easy to feel mesmerized by their majestic beauty, but be sure to look in the water as well. Prince William Sound is teeming with life, and many species are hard to find in other parts of the world. Expect to see seals, sea lions, otters, porpoises, many varieties of fish, and even whales.
The wildlife sightings do not end in the water. There are also plenty of interesting creatures to see on land. Starfish, crabs and seashells can be found along the beaches. Alaska is famous for its plentiful eagle population. Their massive wings, loud calls and white heads are easy to identify. Dall sheep, moose and mountain goats are also common in the area. A trip through the Prince William Sound may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the unique upfront experience kayaking offers is well worth every minute and every penny spent.
