Had the most amazing adventure sea kayaking into Columbia Glacier, Prince William Sound out of Valdez Alaska. Really great , friendly, professional tour guides with safety a priority to those who were beginners. Absolutely a must to do and everyone so welcoming. Great to see how enthusiastic and passionate these guides are about their place of work. Thoroughly recommend this company and this adventure. Thanks from the kiwi girls.....

Had the best day kayaking in Valdez! Shoup Glacier is seriously underrated! After a short boat ride with our guides Carson and Tim, Carson led us up toward the glacier. We got some awesome close up views of a pair of bald eagles. Lots of otters playing around. After having lunch right under the glacier, we had a fun ride back through some rougher water. Carson was an awesome dude and we loved chilling with him all day. The owner Tim was also great to talk to and we learned a lot about the area from them. Would highly recommend going through this company for any adventure. Extremely professional, seasoned, and just simply lovely people who were fun to be with. Best of luck to everyone at Pangea Adventures!!

This is a not to be missed adventure while visiting Valdez. Our guides Alex and Meridith were very knowledgeable about the area. Most of our group never kayaked before. We started by getting fitted with gear and then boarded a boat with our kayaks attached to the top. Along the way we saw otters and seals. We landed at a small beach and started our paddle. We learned about the glacier and how to paddle. The water was calm, so it was not difficult. We had lunch right by th glacier. Hot chocolate, tea and snacks were provided. After the tide started coming in quick Meridith rescued a wayward kayak and we all got back into make the trip back. We went through one section, where the current was faster and it was fun. Highly recommend this trip.

We took a whole day kayaking in front of the Columbia glacier in early August. It was our first time doing Kayaking, and 6 of us were all rookies. Before we booked the tour, we had a lot of concerns. The tour went very well it was well organized. Our guide Ben was from Minnesota, who went to Alaska in early May to get some company training. He was in charge of 8 people on 4 kayaks. Ben was very knowledgeable. We liked him very much. We had a memorable experience especially for our kids.
