About

Bridal Veil Falls offers an amazing experience for those seeking to maximize their time in Resurrection Bay! Your day starts at our shop, where you’ll meet your guide and receive all necessary gear.

We’ll travel to Lowell Point Beach via historic Seward, offering initial bay views. Your guide will conduct a safety briefing and equipment familiarization before you get on the water. Our guides will lead an unforgettable journey, sharing insights about local flora, fauna, geology, glaciology, Seward’s history, and diverse wildlife.

Our next stop will be Bridal Veil Falls Beach, where you will have the opportunity for a short hike to the impressive 100-foot waterfall. After exploring the falls, we’ll return to the beach for a relaxing lunch. While you eat, take in the breathtaking views of the Godwin Glacier nestled within the Chugach Mountain range. At the end of the trip, the group will paddle back to Lowell Point, where transportation will return you to our office, preparing you for your Exit Glacier hike.

Once back at the office, we will drive you to the Kenai Fjords National Park entrance, providing trekking poles. Our guides will offer interpretive information as the hike winds through the glacial area, sharing photos of the glacier’s various historical positions.

The Exit Glacier Overlook Loop Trail offers an opportunity to immerse yourself in Alaska’s nature and breathtaking landscapes! This well-maintained, 2.2-mile primitive loop trail is rated easy to moderate and offers stunning views of the Kenai Fjords National Park. The trail meanders through a glaciated forest filled with towering spruce, cottonwood, and birch trees.

If you’re fortunate, you might spot a moose, bear, or mountain goat! Keep an eye out for quartz veins, and iron and copper deposits along the trail. Take in the stunning views of glacial-cut valleys and see if you can identify all the glaciers nestled in the mountaintops!
