Custom add-ons are curated for a personalized & memorable experience.

When making a reservation, these Add-Ons will appear as an option once yurts and dates have been selected.

Guided Kayak Session

This is a great option if you are new to sea kayaking, have a family with younger children, or if you want to learn more about the wildlife and scenery of the Kenai Fjords from our knowledgeable guide. Get comfortable with the kayaking gear and learn how to paddle safely while reaching one of our nearby kayaking destinations. Oftentimes guests feel comfortable enough with sea kayaking by the end of their guided session to continue paddling self-guided for the remainder of their stay.

Details:

  • 2.5-3 hours

  • $75 per person

  • Guided sessions take place on the afternoon of your check-in day unless otherwise requested.

  • Signing up: The option to add a guided kayaking session to your reservation will appear once you have selected dates and a yurt.

  • Imagine yourself paddling with us: View our kayaking page and scroll towards the bottom for videos from previous guests!

Kenai Fjords National Park Boat Tour

We work with locally owned small-boat tour companies to offer guests the experience of embarking on a tour of Kenai Fjords National Park directly from our dock at Shearwater Cove! A 'small-boat' tour means a highly personalized trip with the greatest possible flexibility to customize the tour based on your interests. This add-on pairs perfectly with a multi-night stay. At Shearwater Cove you will have an intimate, immersive experience of the Kenai Fjords, and on the boat tour you will gain a big-picture perspective of the Park's dramatic coastline, have more chances of seeing wildlife including humpback and orca whales, and see calving tidewater glaciers.

Details:

  • Multiple boat options to best fit your group size whether you are a couple, a crew of friends, or a group of 28 people!

  • Average cost $350 per person

Food Preparation

Shearwater Cove is a remote wilderness location, and traditional food service is not available at the Cove. Each yurt has a private kitchen for preparing meals, and guests shop for food for the duration of their stay prior to boarding our boat. That said, we realize that shopping for groceries in the middle of vacation can be a hassle, and even totally out of the question for larger groups. Below is our food preparation option so that you don’t have to meal plan and grocery shop during vacation! See our Group Travel page for additional food options tailored specifically for reservations of 4+ yurts.

  • Build a menu, we shop, you cook. Work with us to build a menu for your stay. We do the shopping and have everything conveniently packaged and labeled for you at check-in. You prepare the meals in your yurt’s kitchen.

    • Cost of food plus $50 per person, per night
