Paddle Across Resurrection Bay: A True Alaskan Kayaking Adventure with Miller’s Landing

Looking for an authentic Alaskan adventure that blends breathtaking scenery, rich family history, and the thrill of kayaking? Our Half-Day Across Resurrection Bay Kayak Tour at Miller’s Landing delivers all that and more. This isn’t your average kayak trip; it’s a journey across Alaska’s wild and beautiful waters, departing directly from a historic homestead that the Miller family has called home since before Alaska was even a state.

Start from the Heart of Alaska at Miller’s Historic Homestead

Your adventure begins where it all started for the Miller family—on the private beach of our historic homestead. By launching from Miller’s Landing rather than the bustling harbor, you’ll paddle straight into the pristine waters of Resurrection Bay, surrounded by towering cliffs, secluded coves, and abundant wildlife. This exclusive launch point lets you skip the crowds and dive into the real Alaska, setting the stage for an unforgettable half-day adventure.

At the end of your journey, you’ll return to our Miller’s Landing Cafe, where you can indulge in a meal that’s as local as it gets—fresh, battered cod caught from our very own boats. There’s nothing like enjoying a hearty Alaskan meal after a day on the water, especially when you’re dining just steps away from where your adventure began.

Experience the True Spirit of Alaska

Kayaking with Miller’s Landing isn’t just another tour; it’s an invitation to experience the Miller family’s backyard and heritage firsthand. Our guides are experienced, passionate, and intimately familiar with Resurrection Bay’s waters and wildlife. Their knowledge ensures you’ll have an informative, safe, and adventurous trip that truly captures the spirit of Alaska.

Your half-day tour offers an intimate, personal experience of Resurrection Bay at its best—paddling through crystal-clear waters and past remote shorelines untouched by roads or crowds. Whether you’re spotting playful sea otters and harbor seals or gliding along rugged cliff faces, every moment of the journey brings you closer to Alaska’s untamed beauty.

Perfect for Beginners or Adventurers Short on Time

Whether you’re a seasoned kayaker or a complete beginner, our guides will ensure you’re comfortable on the water, adjusting the pace to suit your skill level. With a shorter trip length, the Half-Day Across Resurrection Bay tour is perfect for those with busy schedules or for adventurers who just want to get a taste of paddling in this remarkable environment before diving deeper.
