About us

Adventure Sixty North is a small professional Sea Kayaking company in Seward, Alaska. Proudly and safely provide the best fully guided day tours, overnight kayak camping trips, and adventures in the Kenai Fjords National Park with our professionally trained guides. We provide fully guided and outfitted environmentally friendly and educational kayaking trips to Resurrection Bay, Bear Glacier, Aialik Glacier, Northwestern Fjord.

We also provide gold panning on-site on a clear creek from troughs. Guided salmon fishing and fishing gear rental. Open year-round.

What we'll do

We will teach you the ropes with a gold panning demonstration in our elevated troughs by our rustic gift shop. Personalized how-to demonstrations will have you panning like a pro while providing some local humor and history along the way.

The canvas-covered log-framed structure where we pan for gold is located just across from our walking bridge, between our office and the gift shop. Depending on the salmon run, we can often spy salmon in the creek. The covered troughs allow us to stay dry while panning, which makes this the perfect activity, rain or shine!

We pan in elevated wooden troughs with proven pay dirt so there is a possibility of everyone taking home their very own Alaskan Gold and gems!

-- CANCELLATIONS BY US --
If Adventure Sixty North LLC is forced to cancel a trip for any reason; the trip will be rescheduled or refunded. We reserve the right to cancel any trip due to the discretion of our personnel and their field experience. In such cases, our liability extends to the cost of the class or trip only, not travel and accommodations made by our customers.

Note: Once any trips start/depart and or must terminate early or extend due to any reason, there will be no refunds. This also applies to our overnight and multi-day trips. For overnight/multi-day trips, we recommend adding a buffer day on either end of your trip. Although weather delays in drop-off and pick-up are rare, they can happen. Alaska is still wild and Mother Nature has her own plan. For all trips and travel to Alaska in general, we highly recommend trip or travel insurance.
