Paddleboarding & Kayaking in Juneau Wetlands with Paddle Juneau LLC

Juneau’s wetlands offer an underappreciated gateway to Alaska’s wild heart, where water meets glaciers and wildlife moves quietly alongside adventurers. Paddle Juneau LLC invites paddlers to engage directly with this environment through drysuit paddleboarding and kayak trips that bring you up close to the glacier-carved landscape of the Juneau Wetlands. These guided experiences unfold on calm, glacier-fed waters where the chill of Alaska’s temperate rainforest meets sweeping views of ice-blue icefields.

The Juneau Wetlands is a network of tidal channels, marshes, and estuaries set against the backdrop of towering glaciers and snow-capped peaks. Here, paddlers might spot river otters slipping silently through reeds or bald eagles watching from ancient spruce trees. The unique location is shaped by ongoing glacial carve and retreat, creating a dynamic natural laboratory where geology and ecology intersect on every bend. Paddle Juneau LLC’s trips provide thoughtful introductions to these local phenomena alongside hands-on skills training in drysuit paddleboarding and kayaking — essential for staying warm and mobile in Alaska’s cool waters.
